| Creamy Nutty Berry Smoothie |
Smoothies are an excellent way to get so many healthy foods into your body all at once. With the christening of my new Blendtec, I have been just a bit manic in my smoothie creations. Lately I am making 3-4 variations a day. Come along with me as I scout for some fantabulous smoothie recipes that incorporate health, taste, and nutrition. And don;t forget, extra smoothies make for great 'Popsicles' for the kiddos. I have two styles of molds I keep on hand for this very purpose, and my kids always think they are getting ice cream!
Strawberry Avocado Smoothie @ Cara's Cravings: I have made this multiple times. It tastes like fresh strawberries, and the avocado is undetectable but makes it OH so creamy! I have used chia seeds and hemp hearts, and a couple of handfuls of spinach!
Kale Smoothie "Pistachio Ice Cream"@ Blender Girl: I have made this a couple of times too...no kale taste to speak of, my kids slick it up, and so do I! I am not sure why she calls it pistachio..no pistachio flavor or nut present, but it is DARN good! My tweaks: I used 8 drops stevia, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, and left the ginger out.
Creamy Dairy Free Pumpkin Smoothie@ Lexie's Kitchen. Umm, it's bright orange and has pumpkin...do I need to say anything else?! Lexie always has great recipes, and this is just way too darn pretty to look at!
Mango Milkshake @The Gluten Free Pantry. Thick, creamy, and tropical! I will use stevia in place of the coconut sugar.
Chocolate Pumpkin Smoothie @ The Tasty Alternative. I have made this many, many times and just adore it! It feels like a decadent dessert! I double the cocoa powder and the pumpkin, add chia seeds, and use stevia to sweeten. I sometimes also add spinach, it hides nicely!
Vanilla Banana Smoothie@ The Spunky Coconut. My kids would be all over this!
Cranberry Oat Smoothie@ Diet, Dessert & Dogs. I love tart things, and the addition of oats in this totally had my interest piqued!
Green Creamsicle Smoothie @ The Daily Bites. Creamy and green....two words, and she had me!! Spinach, cucumber, and avocado make the green and fruit sweetens it up!
Don't Be Afraid of the Green@ She Let Them Eat Cake. I have yet to try goji berries, so this one had me curious and ready to jump on the bandwagon!
Berry Green Smoothie@ Cook It Allergy Free. Kim had me at the coconut butter in this one...I don't actually have a jar of it, but making it is a cinch!

So many yummy smoothies! I hope you are loving your new Blendtec. It sounds like you are putting it to good use. Thanks for featuring my Mango Milkshake. I've gotta try all of the other drinks!

ReplyDeleteLots of great choices here! Thanks so much for including my smoothie, too. :)

ReplyDeleteI love making smoothies and those flavor combos sound good. You might want to swing by my blog, I'm having a giveaway for a green smoothie book. It adds vegetables into your fruit smoothie to make it even healthier for ya. They're pretty tasty. I will definitely be trying some of your recipes though.
