What's in your green smoothie?

[Anonymous]

We've made lots of fruit smoothies in our new Vitamix (my favorite is banana, frozen peaches, and almond milk), but need green smoothie ideas. TIA!

spinach, kale, tomatoes, red pepper, cilantro, cucumber. I add aminos for salty flavor (I don't like sweet) and lemon juice.

I'm not super keen on bananas. I like spinach or kale, frozen cherries, and some grapes. Green apple, kale, grapes and a kiwi is good too.

I don't have recipes... I usually just scrounge up whatever frozen fruit mix is on sale and add greens (even spring mix is good once blended up) and a few other fixin's (a few almonds, a dash of cinnamon, some hemp hearts, etc).

Baby kale, spinach, almond or soy milk, vanilla yogurt, frozen mango,banana and a spoonful of peanut butter. I load a lot of greens in and go pretty light on the fruit. Half a banana at most as just a half cup or so of frozen mango.

Kale (or spinach), apple, banana. Plus some flax seed.

I don't like bananas in general but I like how they add some heft and nutrients to my green smoothies, and I don't taste the banana when I do my standard: baby spinach (fill blender or container 1/2 with spinach), greek yogurt, banana, honey, almond milk, ice.

i usually dont make them green, but i had some leftover spinach today so I threw some in and it was good - greek yogurt, almond milk, 1/2 banana, frozen pineapple, almond extract, cardamon.

I use a Green Superfood powder from Whole Foods because I hate the texture when you add real greens. It has flax seed in it. I use a scoop of that, a scoop of protein powder, 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup mixed berries, and 3/4 cup of almond milk.

kale mix, banana, frozen berries, ground flax seed, almond or soy milk, shredded unsweetened coconut.

sometimes add vanilla extract or peanut butter.

I do spinach or kale, plus pre-sliced frozen bananas, plus almond milk and then whatever fruit I have -- cherries, apple (+ cinnamon), peaches, strawberries. Sometimes I add vanilla protein powder, or PB2 (peanut butter powder).

Just an FYI--for anyone with thyroid issues, tons of raw kale is not good for you. I just learned this.

This morning I just finished spinach, frozen strawberries, 1/2 a frozen banana, chia seeds and water. I usually first blend the spinach and water, then add everything else. Yum!
