I am so easy.. it is almost embarrassing! But.. I do stretch every day, so it made sense.. (and I am in the forest, so I got lots of space!)

Good morning All! It’s Smoothie Day!​

Do you have a favorite smoothie recipe? I used to drink them fairly regularly. I had spinach, almond milk, greek yogurt, and banana. It was very tasty! It didn’t look appetizing but it tasted mostly of banana. Sometimes I’d use vanilla yogurt or vanilla almond milk if I wanted something sweeter. I’m sure that I could have put in some protein powder or other supplement to boost it but I’m not that knowledgeable about those. Anybody care to chime in about them? I’d love to learn some more.

Here is a fun graphic I found online that might give you some new ideas to add to your next smoothie.

Please feel free to share any smoothie recipes that you have!

Have a great day!

My go - to smoothie has a banana, blueberries and baby spinach. I usually add plain kefir and ice cubes to the blender as well as a scoop of protein (whey) powder.

 

[QuietCanadian]

I want to be a smoothie person, it's a great way to get nutrients into your body post-any activity, and I like them... but I hate the entire process of making them and cleaning the blender/straws/cup. I'd much rather do to Booster Juice and get one, but that's too damn expensive, so I don't really have them all that much.

Me when asked to go for a 20K run:


Me at the mere thought of cleaning a smoothie straw:

We do smoothies at my house often. They almost always include a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder. It’s a super simple way to boost the protein in a sweet drink.

But I totally agree with @QuietCanadian - cleaning the dishes afterwards is the absolute worst and nearly ruins the entire experience!

 

[Cat]

I am onboard with @QuietCanadian and @Lmizzler .. the idea of a smoothie, I totally get that! Yummy, creamy, satisfying.. smooth and easy to swallow.

But making them?! Buying the ingredients.. Cleaning afterwards?
Suddenly I find myself dipping my veggies in hummus while brewing a cuppa and looking at the birds.

I just cannot be bothered with smoothies. It is a harsh truth, but the cost - benefits just do not add up.

So, I am a non-smoothie person.

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

Dishes are a chore that I do not mind. I will take on washing the smoothie dishes in the Sweaters’ Group Mansion as long as I don’t have to do any yard work.

Deal?

And a Vitamix, as they make cleaning so easy.

SHHHHH!! I have a great thing going here!! No yard work! No bugs.! No itchiness!

 

[Cat]

.... I have one of those... Are you saying that cleaning can be even more of a hassle?!

Definitely team: I will drink them if served, but do not want to make them.

This is what weirds me out. Has anyone put beans or lentils in a smoothie?!

I will not judge you.

At least, not much.

Oh. My. Yes.

Many (most) blenders don't have a cleaning cycle.

I haven’t. But what about a savory “smoothie” ? And at this point, I’m wondering if we are now just making Lentil soup?

 

[Cat]

Oh gosh.. oh... I feel like such a sweet summer's child now!

I mean.. that sounds pretty horrible!!! More than it already is.
