Jocelyn
April 27, 2010 at 10:27 amClearly any kind of green monster is my fave smoothie, since you get 2-3 servings of veggies in a smoothie! But I love to do a “Mexican” chocolate GM, by adding Chocolate Amazing Meal, a tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder, and a couple shakes of cinnamon! Yum!
Caroline
April 27, 2010 at 10:28 amI love the cherry chocolate bomb, but my slightly cheaper go-to is half a frozen banana, two large handfuls of spinach, a scoop of Ovaltine (poor girls’ chocolate super food) and a few splashes of water. I need a magic bullet! I hate washing my blender everyday.
Jessica

Carolyn @ lovinlosing
April 27, 2010 at 10:33 amI posted one recipe on Run Eat Repeat since she’s having the same contest. I’d say another favorite is milk, greek yogurt, ice, frozen banana, straberries, and spinach.
Angie
April 27, 2010 at 10:33 amI have wanted one of these forever!! So excited. My favorite is simple yet delicious: 1/2 frozen banana, greek yogurt (I don’t measure, so we’ll say a “dollop”), almond milk (more than a “splash”), water and two hefty handfuls of spinach. Once in awhile I get crazy and add other frozen fruit too. Simple and delicious! Perfect for an IBS sufferer who can’t handle too much by way of raw vegetables, even spinach!
kelly
April 27, 2010 at 10:33 amOMG! I want one of these so bad!! The folks in my office complain about my blender every morning! π
My favorite smoothie is chocolate protien powder, 1/2 cup lite coconut milk, 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1 tbsp almond butter, and 1 tbsp coconut butter and lots of ice! YUMMY!!! Tastes like an Almond Joy!!

My favorite smoothie is my delicious PB banana breakfast creation. Into the blender goes 1 frozen nana, 1 cup skim milk, 1 Tbsp peanut butter, 1 Tbsp chia, 1 Tbsp flax and a dash of vanilla. Sometimes I add a scoop of chocolate protein powder if I am feeling adventurous π This smoothie is sooooo good, like an old-timey milkshake, and it keeps me full for HOURS!

Sharon
April 27, 2010 at 10:56 amhmmm…. I don’t really indulge in smoothies much, but I would…if I had a blender!!! I’d love to try a green smoothie-otherwise the usual combos of berries/bananas/yogurt work well too.
Zainab
April 27, 2010 at 10:56 amGreen Monster! Well…not so green since I usually end up adding a bunch of blueberries!

Sarah
April 27, 2010 at 10:57 amHonestly, I’m still in love with Green Monsters. Into my food processor goes: a sliced banana, lots of baby spinach, ground flaxseed, a scoop of unsweetened vanilla protein powder (this stuff has been difficult for me to find!), and almond milk. It’s so energizing that I don’t even “need” my coffee- I’m free to drink coffee for the sake of enjoyment. Love that!

Ashlee
April 27, 2010 at 11:02 amMy favorite smoothie is a green monster. I know most wouldn’t consider this their favorite but I have become so obsessed with them. I use an insanely amount of spinach, banana, flax, milk, vanilla protein mix, and frozen berries. If I am in the mood for more of a banana milkshake I add 2 bananas and lose the berries. Another good one is banana, milk, and clementines. So good and refreshing.
Christie {Honoring Health}
April 27, 2010 at 11:02 amI was just thinking this morning I wanted a magic bullet for small jobs like smoothies. I really just like frozen banana and milk.

Michele | aka Raw Juice Girl
April 27, 2010 at 11:03 amWhat an awesome contest, Jenna!! π
I think my all-time favorite smoothie recipe has to be a creation I came up with:
Blueberry Blackstrap Bomb Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
– ice cubes
– 1 tablespoon of freshly ground flax seeds
– 2 tablespoons of hemp powder
– a banana
– handful frozen blueberries
– 2 handfuls baby spinach leaves
– about half a cup or so of blackstrap molasses water I keep in the fridge (more on this in a future post). But it would be 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses in a cup of water for you.
Directions:
– Toss everything in to the blender, blend until smoothly combined, pour, and enjoy this blast of energizing deliciousness! π
(I blogged about it here, with photos and steps.)

April 27, 2010 at 11:40 amHi Jenna! I would loooove a magic bullet. I was never a huge smoothie person until recently. Now I make them all the time…..using my shoddy broken blender. (It’s my fault – I dropped it.) I am training for a marathon and drink this chocolate-peanut butter- banana version after my long runs. I read where chocolate milk or peanut butter and banana are both great to have after a long run because they both have a 4:1 carb to protein ratio. I mixed the two together for the ultimate recovery drink. It tastes like a milkshake!
Sarahβs Favorite Recovery Drink
* 1 cup skim milk
* 2 1/2 T. cocoa powder
* 1 T peanut butter (I used smooth)
* 1/2 banana
* few cubes of ice
Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth and frothy. Drink and enjoy!
Sometimes I also add in a few handfuls of spinach:)

Thanks.
Shannon
April 27, 2010 at 1:09 pmI need a smoothie that will keep my blood sugar even. So I usually use whole yogurt or coconut milk, coconut oil, frozen berries, a pinch of stevia, and a dash of vanilla. If I have greens I will add them too.

SallyH @ acountablelife.wordpress.com
April 27, 2010 at 1:10 pmSo many great recipes to be inspired by! I like a fairly traditional green smoothie: almond milk, frozen banana, frozen blueberries, a protein powder like Amazing Meal, and a couple handfuls of spinach. The best kind though are the ones my 5 year old son helps me make. He loves to add the spinach, which he will drink in the smootie but won’t eat as a leaf.
Allison

Michael
April 27, 2010 at 1:13 pmI’ve never written before as I like to consider myself a “closet ELR reader”….but I felt compelled given my passion for the smoothie. Try this bad boy out for size:

1/3 cup blueberries
1/4 cup rasberries (optional)
1/2 cup FF greek yogurt
handfull of ice
3/4 cup water
1 or 2 tablespoons of honey
1 generous scoop of vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
blend and enjoy….

skyveg
April 27, 2010 at 1:19 pmI am an avid reader but have never posted but feel so compelled to share my absolute love for smoothies. I typically eat at least one a day and always after a run.
I usually throw in some yogurt (either vanilla, or banilla, or greek) dump in some fruit (peaches, strawberries, mangoes, raspberries, blueberries, – always frozen) splash of milk, and spinach! sometimes. I never do measurements. Just eyeball everything and add until it tastes great!
Any combination of fruit depending on what I have available.
Love the blog!
Alaina @ Alaina Goes Abroad
April 27, 2010 at 1:19 pmNormally anything with frozen banana, berries, spinach, milk and (as a treat) yogurt thrown in…but when I’m getting REALLY fancy, I’ll add some pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice to make a pumpkin pie smoothie…mmmm.

Either way! Ever since reading about your green monsters, that is what I love to make!
Nancy
April 27, 2010 at 1:24 pmIt definitely has to have a nice ripe banana in it. Then strawberries and/or other berries are good. Other than that, greens are good & chia seeds, flax seeds & protein powder round it out.

April 27, 2010 at 1:27 pmI love Amazing Grass chocolate meal, Almond Breeze Chocolate (you sense a theme?) banana, spinach, flaxseed, and peppermint flavour. If one wanted to get a little crazy and not healthy, I love the Fuze Banana Colada flavour, with an extra banana, rum, and some spinach. It sounds crazy but tastes amazing.

theemptynutjar
April 27, 2010 at 1:31 pmI am not a smoothie person…but I think it would nice on occasion for a sip. So a bullet would be nice. And something free..oh god, that is overwhelmingly beautiful to have!
I can barely afford a shower curtain!!
I suppose 1 cup+ vanilla hemp milk, 2 TBSps almond butter, 1/2 cup oats, 1 banana, 1 cup berries, flaxseed, coconut oil, cocoa powder…and then added on top would be granola and chocolate chips…
at least that is what seems to be popular, so why not?
Aria

My recipe depends on my mood. If I’m feeling fruity I’ll use vanilla greek yogurt, strawberries, bananas, and orange juice. On the other hand, I might be feeling sweet and a bit nutty in which case I use vanilla greek yogurt with light chocolate soy milk and peanut butter and perhaps some chocolate protein powder. Yummmm!

April 27, 2010 at 2:17 pm1 Scoop of ‘Alive’ Vanilla protein powder:
Here’s an independent product review: http://www.naturalnews.com/001535.html
8 Oz of OJ
1-1 1/2 cups of cut up fresh fruit–berries, bananas, mango, etc
2-T of almonds o walnuts
3-T of organic vanilla yogurt
This is an excellent breakfast with all your daily needs of fruit, nuts, most of your protein….lots of energy. A great, fast, healthy and satisfying way to start the day.

WendyF
April 27, 2010 at 3:35 pmIcy strawberry ice cream –
frozen strawberries, cottage cheese, milk, ice, vanilla extract and a bit of xanthan gum and sweetener (agave or stevia). And then sometimes I add in vanilla protein powder, but if I don’t have any on hand, it’s just as good, if not better, without !
I always seem to make too much though, which is a problem with the large blender…maybe a magic bullet would help me control my portion (or not).

β¦and reading all of those yummy smoothie recipes π
my go-to recipe is similar to a few of the banana + chocolate protein powder/amazing meal recipes up there, so how about a different one? itβs not my everyday smoothie, but when I want something different I use this:
1c. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2c. spinach (raw or steamed and cooled)
1/2 frozen banana
2T almond butter (or any nut butter)
1 scoop berry flavored Daily Greens powder (or 1/2 c. fresh or frozen berries)
1/8 tsp. xanathan gum
1/8 tsp. guar gum
** gums are optional, but make the smoothie really frothy and smoooooth!
ice and water as necessary
just blend it all up β tastes like a PB&J!

Linda
April 27, 2010 at 4:06 pmin a magic bullet sized blender put:
– 1/2 cup β 1 cup (depending on taste) frozen mangoes
– 1 tbsp chia seeds
– 1/2 cup β 1 cup OJ (depending on how thick you like it)
– 1/2 cup pasteurized egg whites
– stuff the rest of the space with spinach leaves (approx 2 Cups)
This can also be done with the addition of protein powder instead of egg whites but you might need to increase the juice or add in some water
Tropical and Delicious!

April 27, 2010 at 4:11 pmHaha…clearly we LOVE smoothies! Hello Green Monsters!
Sharon
April 27, 2010 at 4:12 pmMy favorite and go to smoothie recipe is a take on the Green Monster. I take a large handful of kale and a large handful of spinach, microwave it for 2-3 minutes and stick it in the blender. I add a small frozen banana (frozen in slices for easier blending), some plain almond milk (about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup) and a tablespoon of chia seeds. I normally wait for the bananas to go really ripe (like banana bread ripe) before slicing and freezing them so that the natural sugars make my smoothies super sweet but with no added sugar.

Jamie
April 27, 2010 at 9:12 pmHi Jenna,
I have never commented on your blog before but I have a great smoothie recipe I would like to share. Here are the ingredients:
1 medium frozen banana
Β½ cup of frozen blueberries
1 Β½ cups vanilla soy milk
2 scopes protein powder
2 tablespoons almond butter
Β½ cup of leftover coffee or 4-5 coffee ice cubes
Throw everything in a blender and pulse until smooth.
I came up with this recipe because my job doesnβt always allow me time to sit down and eat lunch. This is affordable and is addition/substitution friendly. Sometimes I throw in a tablespoon of Nutella if I am having a bad chocolate craving :).
Thank you for your wonderful blog!
Jamie

April 28, 2010 at 5:59 amI would definitely have to say a Green Monster (spinach, milk, 1 banana and strawberries). Strawberry banana smoothies are just not the same as ones with spinach! I’m not a huge veggie lover so this makes me feel really good about what I’m giving my body.

My favorite smoothie is 1/2 banana, 3 handfuls baby spinach, 1 T. peanut butter, 1 T. chia seeds, 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 T. unsweetened cocoa powder, ice.

April 28, 2010 at 6:44 amI’m not quite brave enough to make any green smoothies yet, but for now I usually do frozen strawberries, frozen peaches, a container of oikos, and a little bit of milk. Now that it’s summertime I’ll likely start using ice, fresh mangoes, a splash of orange juice, an oikos and a bit of milk
