Flax Berry Smoothie (W/Spinach - Shhh,they Won't Know!)

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:50:42 -0400

This is a great way to slip healthy spinach and flax seed meal into your loved one's diet. It is healthy and satisfying and you will benefit from the probiotics (yogurt), antioxidants (berries), omega-3's and fiber (flax meal), potassium (banana) and the numerous benefits of spinach (to name a few - vitamin K, A, C, B2, B6, E, folate, iron, calcium, potassium & fiber). Also by combining the berries (Vitamin C) with the spinach (iron) you are allowing for more absorption of iron from the spinach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinach). I have this about an hour before my morning workout. -- posted by Emily Elizabeth

Blu-Ban-O Smoothie

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 23:35:45 -0400

The little kids and I have a smoothie every day at lunch and so for Zaar World Tour I thought, "well, I should try other people's smoothies and get ZWT points if I'm going to have a smoothie anyway!" Right? Well, I found out I really don't like yogurt in smoothies! But apparently everybody else does! oh well. Here's an all-fruit smoothie. The kind I like! -- posted by mliss29

Light Energy Boost Smoothie for Early Mornings

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:38:48 -0400

Using just three types of fruit, this recipe doesn't take much time to prepare. The hardest work is peeling the banana... intense! I used milk because I was out of yoghurt, but I think I'd prefer it this way. It also makes the smoothie itself a little lighter and softer in taste. Because I used bottled orange juice it only took me about half a minute from start to the pouring it in my glass, so you're not looking at 10 minutes of peeling fruits etc. ;) -- posted by Axe TB

Fruit Smoothie

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 17:44:51 -0400

I adapted this recipe from the Nasoya website. It can make 4 small smoothies, or 2 large smoothies (I usually opt for the large as a meal replacement). The fruit of your choice can be substituted for the blueberries. I also use Lite Silken Tofu and Light Orange Juice to cut the calories and fat. -- posted by Heather the Flutist

This is a vegan smoothie from Healthy Kids by Marilu Henner. She uses a lot of soy, but you could sub. regular cow's milk products. This makes a really thick smoothie. The database wouldn't accept 2 capsules of acidophilus, which is in the recipe. I don't think it's critical, though! I added 1 capsule of enzymes instead. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Banana Honey Blueberry Smoothie With Added Fibre

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 00:32:34 -0500

This smoothie is full of goodness....no; greatness! It has the super high anti-oxidant value of blueberries, the sweetness of honey, added fibre of Benefibe and the classic flavour of bananas. Great for a morning snack, or anytime when you need that little something to keep you going between meals. I came up with this particular combination of ingredients while looking through the fruit bowl and the fridge for a snack, threw it together and it turned out beautifully! I'm sure it's been thought of before...this is my own recipe thought up at the spur of the moment in my kitchen. -- posted by bananapan_cake

" Greens to Go" Smoothie

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 14:45:39 -0500

This is from Nancy Campbell from Above Rubies magazine. "The chlorophyll in greens combats tumor growth; it works on the adrenal glands, purifies the lymph nodes, unclogs the arteries and enriches the blood. It protects against radiation. Chlorophyll is only one of the many benefits of greens. It also provides a large gamut of vitamins and minerals, phyto-nutrients and colon cleansing cellulose. It is blended so smoothly that even babies starting solids and toddlers who can't chew up greens can swallow these power foods and not gag. The cellulose is broken down and the greens are so easily digested that they begin to assimilate even while still in their mouth." You might need to play with the greens amount to get the right amount of sweetness. I added more fruit to cut the greens taste and would use only milk or kefir, instead of water next time. Try strawberry, raspberry, peach etc. I adjusted it just a bit. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Banana Colada (Non-Dairy Mocktail)

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:16:02 -0500

A luscious-looking drink for all you coconut lovers out there (like me!) who want something smooth and creamy, but don't want or can't have alcohol or dairy. I found this over at the World's Healthiest Foods site while browsing their recipe collection. This variation on the more traditional pina colada recipe is a good cure any tropical cravings you might have! You'll want to make sure to use ripe bananas for this recipe, as it will provide more flavor and sweetness that way. Also, make sure to use only enough liquid to keep the blender going. NOTE: Cook time is freezing time for the bananas. If you're like me and usually have leftover ripe bananas already in the freezer waiting to be used, this recipe is a snap to put together. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen

Thick Tropical Smoothie With Bananas and Strawberries

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:40:14 -0500

Just had a root canal and having other toothache problems so it's difficult for me to chew solid food, including fruits. I recently had purchased a can of Safeway brand Tropical Fruit with Pineapple and Passion Fruit Juices. The ingredients read: pineapple, red papaya, yellow papaya, pineapple juice, water, sugar, passion fruit juice, banana puree, citric acid. I emptied the can with the juice into a freezer-safe container and froze overnight. I let the frozen fruit thaw in the fridge for a few hours and then ran the container under cool water for a about 30 seconds to break up the mass of frozen fruit from the edges of the container and then cut it up with a plastic pancake turner. I used a square-shaped container and broke the frozen fruit up into 4 large pieces so it would fit into the blender. Bf bought me fresh strawberries so chose to use those over the frozen ones I had. I always keep sliced, frozen bananas on hand in the freezer. The water in the recipe is necessary for the blending and it doesn't taste too watered down, and I needed just about 1/2 cup. The honey is for a little added sweetness. This makes two very large servings. This turned out thick, but drinkable. Please let me know how you like my recipe. It would make a great breakfast, snack, or even dessert! Prep time doesn't include freezing time for the fruit. -- posted by blancpage

Delicious Fruit Smoothie!!

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:59:55 -0400

I've never had much luck making smoothies until I threw this one together. It is ridiculously good for you, amazingly delicious, and super easy to make! However, my favorite thing about it is that you can store some in the fridge and it stays smoothie consistency for at least 24 hours (maybe longer, I haven't tried yet)! For the frozen strawberries and bananas, I freeze my own from fresh. I imagine the frozen kind you get from the store would work well too. You could try substituting other fruits or juices, but I can only guarantee the results with this recipe! -- posted by ramartin42

Banana Passionfruit Smoothie (21 Day Wonder Diet: Day 16)

This is Day 16: Breakfast, on the 21 Day Wonder Diet. This is a delicious smoothie, and one of my favourite breakfasts on this diet!

Superfruit Smoothie

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:44:46 -0400

My absolute favorite smoothie - banana, kiwi, mango, peach, and clementine! When fresh fruit is in season, I like to play around with different combinations, but this is the one that I make the most. Not only does it taste absolutely amazing, but it is loaded with natural nutrition too; Vitamins B & C, potassium, dietary fiber, omega-3 F.A.s, antioxidants, calcium...much more wholesome (and yummier!) than a vitamin pill in my opinion. And because of the fiber and protein, it is filling enough to be a hearty snack or a meal substitute. Before you get too excited, a quick word of warning about the kiwi - if you eat too much at once it can make your mouth feel tingly and raw (yes... I've had this happen. I can't help myself!) I hope you like this smoothie as much as I do! :) -- posted by Oenophilly

Sunshine Tropical Smoothie

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:28:27 -0400

Made this for breakfast today from stuff I had on hand. Freezing over-ripe bananas is a great way to always have them on hand for breakfast smoothies, and it's another great use for bananas that are beginning to turn brown other than the ol'standby: banana bread! Simply peel your over-ripe banana, break into pieces that will blend in your blender, and place in a ziplock freezer bag. They are ready to go! For this recipe, be sure to use coconut WATER, not milk, which gives this smoothie just the perfect "hint" of tropical coconut flavor. Coconut water has 15 times more potassium than that found in sugary sport drinks, and that it contains five key electrolytes. It is the water found inside the coconut after it has been filtered through the coconut's husk. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Banana Almond Date Soy Smoothie

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:54:39 -0400

This vegan smoothie is amazingly rich, creamy, filling, and healthy. It has a nice texture to it from the almonds and a natural sweetness from the banana and dates. I like that there is no refined sugar added or any animal products, all good for us and the planet. I like using a frozen banana to make the drink cold, but room temperature works well too. If you want to freeze bananas, peel them before freezing. Peeling frozen bananas doesn't work! And place them separated in the freezer so they don't freeze together. -- posted by Chef #1363287

I had two bananas left over from a recipe that my daughter had tagged and they were becoming too ripe to eat as a banana, so I decided to make a new smoothie. NOTE: Cooking time is blending time. -- posted by Acadia

Vegan Choco-Banana Smoothie

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:26:22 -0400

Part of my Nasoya Madness series since I got tons of coupons for Nasoya Creations so I could get the tofu packs for almost nothing; and did lots of experiments most of which went well! This is a vegan-ized classic and you can vary it by using 2/3 cup plain soymilk mixed with 1 tsp cocoa powder for a subtler chocolate flavor. It's also iceless for ease. -- posted by the80srule

I found this recipe online at themommyplaybook.com. My son loves Smoothie King's version and this is supposed to be a good copy. I haven't tried it yet, but will in a few days. I just wanted to post it so I would have it accessible. **The recipe calls for papaya juice but Recipezaar changed it to papaya nectar. -- posted by Seven Wonders
