Night Elf Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Anyone have a website or book recommendation on good healthy smoothies? Ones that incorporate fruit, veggies, and nuts and whatever else is healthy. I'm not just looking for fruit and juice.

MEmama Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 We like the book Body Love by Kelly Leveque for smoothie recipes and commonsense balance. I drink a spinach smoothie every morning; it keeps me full and my blood sugars balanced for hours. Almond milk, organic spinach, flax meal (or chia seeds or hemp), avocado, almond butter, protein powder. 377 calories of pure deliciousness. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 No recommendations but I tried making a green smoothie for the first time yesterday and dump a serving of spinach into my blender along with fruits and almond milk. My kids called the end product green sludge 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Pasternak smoothies are pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it blend nut butters with fruits and veggies or will it all glop up? I love the idea of using almond milk. I'm not a big juice drinker.

He said it was okay. I diluted my 12oz cup with more almond milk and it was okay. I used spinach, carrots, bananas, kiwis, avocados and almond milk. Below link is the blender I have https://www.amazon.com/400-Watt-Processor-Blending-Chopping-QB900B/dp/B003XU3C7M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do something with enough power if you are going to use greens; a regular blender won't work. The only fruit we use in smoothies--and only occasionally--is blueberries. Fruit juice, never.
