I posted a while back about my favorite things. I have since found a new favorite. Let me preface this by saying that I am not a fruit person. I have NEVER liked smoothies, nor the thought of them.
Last week, my Uncle Ron brought in his swanky Vita-Mix to make some sorbet. He told me how healthy it was, and since I was extremely hungry, I tried it. I. LOVED. IT! So, I wanted to share it with you.
I don’t have a swanky blender. In fact, I don’t even own a blender. But I do have this:
It’s a cheap-o from Wal-Mart and makes single serving shakes or smoothies.
I add approximately 1 1/2 cups of frozen fruit. I use this:
It’s $9.78, and it’s HUGE at Sams Club.
Then I add 1 1/2 scoops of vanilla protein powder.
Then I add a squirt of Agave Sweetener.
This stuff is all natural. Your body can break it down very easily. Most grocery stores sell it. I even found it at good ol’ Hitchcocks.
I top it off with a little bit of milk. You can add more milk if you like a thinner consistency. I like to eat mine with a spoon. Then I blend it up. It is AMAZING!
I have been substituting this for breakfast every morning. If I have eaten badly for lunch, I will use it for dinner as well. In one week, I am down 4 pounds. Now, I have also only been drinking water, so I know that helps.
If you have any other smoothie recipes, please share. I hope you enjoy!!!

Last week someone introduced me to a green monster smoothie. Tbsp of peanut butter, one frozen banana, yogurt, milk, and as much spinach as you can fit in on top of it. It's a lot of protein, and all the good spinach stuff too :).
Thank you for sharing your smoothie recipe. I thought you might be interested in checking out or Simply Delicious Meals page, http://bit.ly/AtJURf, where you can find more simple and delicious recipes for smoothies. Let us know if you try any and thanks for shopping at Sam’s Club!

I love the green monster too! Amazingly you can't even taste the spinach, but you get all the nutrients. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I have been drinking Green Smoothies for a couple of weeks now. It's a little different than the green monster. You use a handful or two of spinach or any green lettuce (spinach is the most mild tasting), whatever fruit you want, a banana, spoonful or 2 of yogurt, about 1 1/2 cups of water or orange juice and whatever else you want to add. Can't taste the greens and makes it healthier.
