Smoothies

1 c. yoghurt
1 c. oj
1 banana
oh, maybe a tbsp or so of honey

And then I throw in whatever fruit I have around to add. Frozen berries are good for that.

It ends up being about 2 glasses of smoothie, though.

This is pretty much the same as your recipe of course but if you don't use vanilla you might have an easier time throwing other things in.

Are Lassis hard to make? (Yes, i know, I should google for info.)

It's the bomb.

Bought a vacuum sealer machine and made 30 vacuum sealed bags of smoothie materials that are now in my freezer. 1/2 of them are kale, mint, ginger, lemon, apple but the other 1/2 are a medley. Feel like such a life hacker.

been making banana/peanut butter smoothies in the morning with almond milk and spinach & whatnot and they are v delicious!

banana+spinach is a good combination. i have a bunch of hemp seeds and chia seeds i am supposed to put in my smoothies for protein and whatnot but i've been forgetting.

I bought some hemp protein powder from Trader Joes to up my protein

i've met two people this week who admitted to putting RAW EGGS in their smoothies for protein.

gross

yeah. they had a more utitlitarian understanding of smoothies than i do. i seriously believe the kale/lemon/mint/apple/ginger concoction i make is one of the most delicious beverages there is

no doubt, it sounds tremendous. wanted to make that kalemintgingerlemonapple one you mentioned but was out of ginger. made my first kale smoothie today: pineapple, apple juice, soy milk, blueberries, bananas, KALE. was a touch too sweet but really good

that does sound good. pineapple and kale work really well together. i find a lot of the smoothie recipes i come across on the internet end up being too sweet, as the instructions call for adding a lot of fruit to smother the natural bitterness of the kale. i don't think it's bad to taste the kale as long as it's softened a bit by some sort of fruit.

Avocado, frozen blueberries, almond milk. Tbsp of PB optional.

nice one. or almond butter sounds like a natural, too

apple, banana, a few almonds, fat free yogurt, fat free milk, cinammon

used to think dairy was unhealthy but i don't even know now. this is what i have been making for breakfast and it has a good macronutrient profile

i thought fat free dairy was, health-wise, the worst kind of dairy??

Yeah I've heard that too. But it seems healthier (to me) to get dietary fat from other sources, like avocadoes, almonds, and fish. If i was consuming mass quantities of full fat yogurt as a smoothie base it seems like that would be too much. Idk, it would be good to get a NN to weigh in

let me give you all some inspiration of the At Least I Didn't Do That variety.

the other day at the store i picked up some ingredients for my classic recipe, ~Innocent Smoothie~. it's pretty simple: yogurt, milk, strawberries, blueberries, peanut butter, and protein powder. when i got home my wife said "wow, those concord grapes are really fragrant" and i, a person with so much room to grow within my cranium, replied "yes they really are!" without considering any of the implications of our exchange.

today i made my Innocent Smoothie, and couldn't help but notice that the blueberries were a bit larger and darker than usual. also, they were all attached to stems. hmm, that's odd! persevering, i picked all of the mysterious blueberries off of the stems and continued making the smoothie. whoa, turns out those blueberries are actually concord grapes, weird! each of these tasty concord grapes come fully equipped with a hard seed, so i'm currently crunching down my innocent smoothie. while typing out this eating report, though, i've gotten kind of used to it, and according to the reputable article "Are Grape Seeds Edible? The Answer Might Blow Your Mind, they're actually kind of good for me! so look out smoothie nation, concord grapes are IN this season

i'm definitely trying to chew the seeds many times before swallowing though, so i don't have to search for the "is this ok when it comes out of my butt?" thread on ILTMI
