Post your Smoothie!

[Cin]

For an early lunch -

No picture but it was tasty

1 scoop chocolate protein powder 80 calories
1 tablespoon peanut butter 90 calories
100 grams cafe latte yogurt 35 calories
1 cup water
5 ice cubes



No pic and not a smoothie exactly but cooled us off yesterday after quite a workout

cup or 2 of frozen watermelon
cup or 2 of frozen strawberries
cup or 2 of homemade lemonade
So good, really, really good.

I buy fruit on sale whenever I can and freeze it for future smoothie or frozen drink use.

I am no longer afraid of buying a watermelon that might not be that good. When I cut it and it is less than we had hoped, my wife and I just look at each other and cheerfully say "smoothies!" and in the freezer it goes.

Do any of you use the PB2 powder in your smoothies? That shit is addictive! I even add it to my vanilla greek yogurt for a peanut butter-y mousse

Typical breakfast, and sometimes it's what's for dinner.
One scoop of cinnamon swirl protein powder, chia seed, flax seed, a generous scoop of PB2, extra cinnamon and almond milk.

I haven't tried it. I kind of like the fat in peanuts, almonds, and nuts in general so I like peanut butter. I prefer it to the extra sugar that is always added when they take out fat. Plus the fat in the peanut butter or, even better, almond butter keeps me full longer. Plus I prefer organic in peanut butter cause peanuts are a heavily sprayed crop and the toxins easily soak through the porous shell and PB2 is not organic. But as I've said I haven't tried it so I could change my mind. It might not completely replace peanut butter but it could be something to use in cooking, like baking cookies and such. Things I'm not counting on to fill me up and give me energy for the day.

tablespoon shredded coconut
200 grams coconut yogurt
1 cup of frozen pineapple,(froze it myself fresh)
1/2 cup of water (I like it like that, but one could easily use milk or almond breeze or some such.

is coconut yogurt vegan?? if so great idea! I'm going to try to find some! Thanks

This one might be vegan



But that's not the one I had. I had this one and it's quite caloric and high in fat and definitely not vegan. I do love this yogurt though.

[kittygrrl]

1 c. nut milk
1/4 c. blanched almonds
1 ripe banana (cut in chunks)
1 scoop protein powder (I'm using Whey this morning)
2 Tbsp. honey
1 c fresh strawberries (or frozen)
1 pear (cut in chunks
1 Tbsp flaxmeal
1/2 c. ice

Place in blender milk, nuts, fruit, flaxmeal and ice(on top) Blend 45 seconds til smooth. Enjoy

Here's a link to a smoothie nutritional calculator I've started using.

You have to do your own calculations to get the net carb (subtract fiber from total carbs), but I like this calculator.

For my last batch I used the following veggies and fruit

• 2 bunches of Spinach
• 1" diameter of Ginger
• 1 8-inch Cucumber
• 1 bunch of Parsley
• 4 stalks of medium size Celery
• 1 Small Apple
• Water

This is the nutritional information from the calculator:



– Calories = 378
– Carbs = 46.7g (after subtracting fiber)
– Fiber = 28 g

I usually end up with 60 oz in each batch and usually drink 10-20 oz a day.

This may be more information than most people want but thought I'd share it for anyone keeping a close eye on these things.

Please let me know if anyone has a link to a nutritional calculator you like that's free to use.
