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 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.
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.
