nycfembbw,

Let me give you my answer to your question...I congratulate you both for blending smoothie for breakfast.

For me it is all about the greens, I use banana as a creamy base, then add lots of whatever green veggies your going to use...I use spinach,broccoli(frozen, organic, always its in expensive too), cilantro, dandelion and at times I combine two or three greens along with the apple or berries.

The important thing is that these get blended under "liquefy", in other words, I always blend, giving the blender a rest every 1.5 mins, until the greens are thoroughly liquefied...the banana, and other fruit like avocado make it creamy
and thick, satisfying, and filling.

I also add walnuts, almonds (these I soak the night before so their softer), and that adds a nice crunch for my day.

I use flax oil because the seeds are difficult to get blended unless you first ground them...frankly I don't want to go through all of that if the oil is available, organic, and delicious.

So, that's it for now. I recommend greens, fruit, don't worry about the fat content in the yogurt, your body will use the natural fat in it to help it absorb the nutrients. It will not add fat to your body.

I use regular soy milk, organic of course, these smoothies are delicious, and filling.

If the smoothie gets too thick just add filtered, spring water until its to your liking. That's it for now...congrats again.

Greco
