Green smoothie recipes

Depending on how loyal I actually end up being to this I might upgrade.

This mornings recipe:

Frozen mixed berries
Soy protein powder
Flax seed meal
Orange juice
half a banana

I forgot to add the yogurt I bought yesterday. It would have helped with the creaminess. I will need to work on proportions as I have now made too much :slight_smile: And, I had to keep adding OJ to get the consistancy right and now it is too thin. It will be a fun experiment.

i am new to the book but interested; do you substitute the smoothie for something later in the day or can it be used as a treat at the end of the day? my husband is the one watching his weight and i want to try and have something available that will feel like a treat but not put him over in calories.

I sometimes have a green smoothie as part of supper when I come home from work so ravenous that I need to eat immediately. A green smoothie also makes a good breakfast. I actually make a “green pudding” in my Cuisinart using whatever mild-flavored greens I have on hand (turnip, savoy cabbage, baby lettuces, chervil when I can get it), tofu, banana, cocoa, ground flax seeds or chia seeds, and some stevia. My BF thinks it’s disgusting. :slight_smile:

For your husband, the main thing would be to account for the calories in his daily total and not add a green smoothie on top of everything else he’s eating.
