I usually have 1 cup of blueberries 1/2 cup mixed fruit bit of ground flax seed and a bit of Vanilla Costco protein powder all mixed with the Magic Bullet. Maybe this is a good recipe thread?
I use a little different recipe depending on it its pre or post workout.
Pre:
3 dl fruit juice
1 beetroot
frozen berries
1 tsp of guarana powder
1 tbsp of chia seed
Post:
3 dl fruit juice
100g spinach, frozen
frozen berries
1 fruit
10g amino acids
1 tsp spirulina
a pinch of mineral salt
For both recipes i also use about 3-4 dl of water.
1 cup greens (kale, swiss chard, parsley, spinach…)
1/4 orange with skin
1 scoop plain protein powder
1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flax
1 tbsp gogi berries
1 tsp maca powder
1 date
1/2 cup frozen mangoes or berries
water
.
1 banana
1 scoop revolutionary tech protein powder
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup rice milk
2 tbsp chocolate PB2
handful of spinach or kale if it is in my fridge
ice optional
or a fruit version
sub out PB2 for blueberries or strawberries
.
One banana, handful of strawberries, decent sized plop of yogurt, usually vanilla. I’ve also occasionally gone through phases of putting chia seeds in it but am not right now. That plus a coffee is usually all I have for breakfast, except on weekends where I might add a bowl of oatmeal or maybe eggs and bacon
I used to do the smoothies, but I really needed to decrease my fiber (I’m a Veggie so plenty otherwise). However, my wife and I have this morning juice recipe (makes 2 servings) on our really heavy training weeks or 3 hours before heavy weekend sessions:
5 large carrots
1 granny smith apple
1 small orange
2 inches ginger root
2-3 cloves garlic (nice savory addition)
3 medium size beets (with greens if you have’m)
1 serrano pepper
3 radishes
4 stalks of celery
again this is two servings . . . we also add some chia seeds after the juicing . . . and yes we compost . . .haha
Three frozen strawberries
10 oz of Blue Diamond Almond Milk
1 scoop of whey protein (25 grams, NOW whey isolate)
150mg of caffeine
.
Breakfast:
plain yogurt/greek yogurt
scoop of vanilla protein powder
handful of spinach/kale
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 frozen banana
1 orange or splash or OJ or water
handful of frozen dark berries (blue, rasp, black) or cherries
Post:
1 frozen banana
1 scoop of PB/Almond butter
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
almond milk
cocoa powder/chocolate syrup to taste
I have also had good luck throwing oatmeal in the smoothie.
2/3 cup frozen blueberries
2/3 cup skim milk
1/2 banana
3 tbsp protein powder
1 tbsp wheat germ
blend until smooth, and throw in a few small ice cubes if you need to thicken it up a bit
.
About 1 cup of frozen blueberries
2 big handfuls of baby organic spinach
handful of brazil nuts and raw almonds
big scoop of whey protein powder
1 whole banana
tablespoon of cacao powder
2 cups of unsweet coconut milk…mix in my vitamix for a couple minutes
Had a glass after my swim workout this morning, gave some to my wife and took the rest to work…
Check out my blog…I post all of my smoothie and other nutrition stuff I eat and drink everyday…
orange juice (maybe 16 oz)
4 bananas
about 2 handfuls of kale
1 scoop of wheatgrass powder
1 tablespoon of ground flax
half scoop of Garden of Life Raw Protein (vanilla)
various frozen fruits (guessing maybe 1.5 cups… usually just eye ball it)
I make this every morning and yields about 50+ ounces. Drink this at work.
1/2 cup crushed ice
1 cup skim milk
4 tablespoons chunky peanutbutter
1 scoop protein powder
1 squirt of chocolate syrup
1 sablespoon powdered butterscotch pudding mix
1 teaspoon chai seeds
1 cookie (for texture)
Maybe half a banana if it all fits in the ‘magic bullet’.
Lots of bad stuff in it, but tastes darn good.
1 Banana
1/2 cup of frozen strawberries
Two spoonfuls of Organic PB
Spoonful of Protein
Splash of milk
.
5 bananas, 1 or 2 cups frozen fruit. Water and ice. I eat a lot of bananas. post ride smoothie is 8 bananas.
2 handfulls spinach
1 scoop vanilla protien powder
handfull frozen mango chunks
handfull frozen peach slices(about 4-5)
200ml of OJ
blend till smooth!
My smoothie feels so inadequate:
Fruit, usually a bag (2 cups) of mixed berries
Banana, sometimes 2
Yogurt
Juice (OJ, usually)
Protein powder
Sometimes a dollop of peanut butter
Ice if needed
Going to have to try some of these…

A problem I’m having with my new Vitamix is the protein powder I’m using (unflavored) is whipping too much air into the smoothie and ruining the texture.
Are there any forms of protein I can use in my smoothie that won’t add air or taste to the smoothie itself?

if you are also using bananas, try adding the protein power and the banana in last just to mix it up. They don’t need as much blending as other stuff like frozen fruits. Keeping bananas in the blender in too long results in oxidation, a different taste, and too frothy.
My typical morning smoothie contains more or less:
- 1cup coconut milk
- 2cups greens (kale, spinach, etc.)
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1tbsp coconut oil melted in a little bit of coffee
- 1 tbsp nuts or nut butter
- 1/2cup berries
- 1 square of 85% dark chocolate (Friday treat!)
