Chocolate Covered Blueberry Smoothie

My body asked for berries today so I tried something new. It turned out really nice but I think bananas and peanut butter powder will stay the smoothie champ for now.

The mix:
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 scoop chocolate raw veg protein
1/2 scoop raw veg powder
1/8 cup cocoa
1/2 tbsp raw honey
1 cup flax milk

Calories: 271

Adding Greens to Smoothie

I took one of my favorite smoothie mixes and added a scoop of powdered greens. I had not been using because I was afraid it would ruin the taste. It did not! It tasted the same.

The mix:
1 scoop chocolate veg protein powder
1 scoop green mix
1 1/2 cups flax milk
1 scoop peanut butter powder
1/8 cup cocoa

Blender Juicing

I decided on an experiment today. I used the blender, instead of the juicer, to make make my juice.
The mix: grapefruit with no rind and big seeds removed, 3 large kale leaves, tsp of local raw honey, tsp chia seeds, and a cup of water.

Calories: 215

It came out pretty good. The texture was different than when using a juicer, as expected, but did not gross me out or anything. I would not recommend it for a first time juicer.

Smoothie to Ice Cream

My smoothie kept growing so I poured a glass and froze the rest. It made about 3 servings.

1 bag frozen blueberries

1 serving acai berry juice

A squeeze of lemon juice into the ice cream portion.

This morning, I added a tbsp of peanut powder and had a smoothie breakfast.

1 cup Flax milk
1 scoop raw chocolate protein
1 banana
4 ice cubes

I'm using Flax milk this week because it is good and the shop I went to had it and not almond milk.

Cocoa and Raw Super Green

This one had some green powdered flavor, but cocoa was the hero.
1 scoop Garden of Life Super Green powder
1/4 cup cocoa
1 1/4 cup almond milk
1 tbsp honey
Poured over ice.

It seemed to want cinnamon, so I put that on the apple. A great pairing.

Berry Protein Smoothie

Today was a berry day. With the apple I was having with it, I did not finish drinking the smoothie, but it was good.
1 cup almond milk
1 package mix frzn berries
1 serving acai berry juice

PB2 Chocolate Protein Smoothie

PB2 is a great way to add peanut butter to a smoothie without adding the oil. I started with a handful of ice for some thickness, then added:
1 cup almond milk
1 packet of protein mix
2 tbsp PB2

Soooo good! 8)

Redemption Smoothie

After the last disaster smoothie, I needed a comeback. This was it!
For my best yet smoothie:
1 cup almond milk
1 banana
1 pack Garden of Life chocolate protein mix
300 calories (most from the banana)

Epic Fail Smoothie

Someone planted the idea of a chocolate PB2 (powdered peanut butter-no oil) in my head today. I went to make it and decided to put in some of my previous green juice because it was getting too old to last. WRONG move! I doubled everything and added honey to make it bearable. Leftovers anyone?
No recipe for this. It's in your best interest.

The chopped ice was the best part. 8)

Almond Milk Protein Smoothie

Today, I broke in my new and fabulous blender. I put some frozen mixed berries in and used the chop ice function. Then I added 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened Almond milk. It was still too thick, so I poured in 1/2 cup of coconut water. A scoop of berry flavored veg protein mix finished it off. It made 2 glasses. According to the app I am using, each glass is about 169 calories.
Enjoy!

Smothilicious

Powered up a smoothie this morning. So good!
The mix: Flax milk, frozen bananas, peanut butter powder (peanut butter with the oil and a lot of calories taken out), cocoa powder, and raw veg powder.

Smoothie

The morning of day six of the fast found another cheat smoothie on the coaster. I lightened up on the peanut butter and added wheat grass powder.
Mix: 1c flax milk, 1 banana, 1tbsp peanut butter, 3/4tsp powder, big handful of ice.
I am going to try some store bought natural juices for lunch.

Cheating on My Juicer

Half way through day 4 of a juice fast and my body was yelling for something besides green juice. So I broke out the blender. Slightly breaking the rules of a fast, a smoothie appeared.

Smoothie cheat: small banana, large tablespoon of peanut butter, flax milk.

Wow, it is good. I may add wheat grass powder if I cheat again so I don't feel as guilty.
