2 scoops chocolate whey protein powder,1 banana,2 tablespoons peanut butter,1 cup Greek yogurt sugar free,and 1/2 cup 2%milk... that's every day best wake up and go ever

Almond milk, bananas, spinach, dates, almond butter -blur-pour-enjoy~

Anyone know of any good smoothies using prunes. Absolutely love prunes, plums, bananas, expresso, berries, cacao, and pineapple. Thanx!

That sounds absolutely delicious. I will see about getting flavored protein powder, next time I go shopping. Plus, for those like me who have milk allergies (lactose intolerance), I will see if I can make it with Almond milk and use shredded coconut to aid in binding the smoothie.

Your smoothie sounds good too, minus the spinach *lol*.
But your spinach idea? I was thinking that maybe a green smoothie made with spinach might be paired with spirulina, pear, banana, pineapple, celery and filtered water? I'm gonna try that making that kind of green soothe soon. I loved your smoothie idea, though!

I think you asked a great question about using prunes in a smoothie, cathexis! I love freshly picked Italian prunes or any sort of dried plum or prune. I'm wondering if prunes could be paired off with cheeries, raspberries, pears and filtered water, apple juice and then use some sort of protein powder that will add as an binder, yet give the smoothie a slick kick of protein too? I don't know of any recipes, but it's fun to create smoothies that you can't find anywhere else, but in your own kitchen!

Cheers to new smoothie recipes! :)

Katzchen,
Sounds great.
Next project, get a blender to make smoothies.
Already have protein powder to use in my shaker bottle (lame).

Thanks for the enticing ideas.

Wow...cathexis...now that is a fruit I've never considered:blink:but why not??!!!...let me think about it!
:hangloose:

Can't wait to see what you come up with, kitty!!! :)
:cheer:

I use Prunes and Dates a lot to help sweeten or cover spinach, kale, or broccoli I have found nothing that will do much for a beet shake I keep trying to work out. Prunes have a lot of perks fiber, protein, low fat, vitamin K and several of the B's...

I love smoothies makes my breakfast fast easy and mobile and keeps me from the likes of Jack in The Box, too bad it does not help when I am already out for the day and want In and Out....

Well now don't I sound like a commercial? Anyways hope it's helpful.

Ok cat...I think you can play with the dates in most recipe and replace them with prunes...I would try this...it's simple uncomplicated and you can take it to your outer limits!
