Monday Madness: Smoothie Recipes You Will Love

I find that smoothies are a great way to get in a meal first thing in the morning or at any point in the day. The recipes I use all tend to use the exact same base. I change things up when I feel like it, but mostly stick to exactly 2 bases and then add everything else to it.

The Bases

Base #1 is made from 8 oz of Vanilla Greek Yogurt and 8 oz of water

Base #2 is made from 8 oz of Vanilla Greek Yogurt and 8 oz of low fat chocolate milk

The Recipes

All of these recipes go into my Ninja Blender. Use whatever blender you have. Make sure to blend until liquid.

Green Smoothie

Base #1
1/2 cup of spinach
1/2 cup of kale
1 cup of blueberries
1 scoop of Whey protein

Cal: 309 Protein: 34 Carbs: 38 Fat: 5

Carb Up Delight

Base #2
1/2 cup spinach
1 cup of blueberries
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 scoop of Whey protein

 Cal: 600 Protein: 47 Carbs: 88 Fat: 11

Veggie and Fruit Loaded

Base #1
1/2 cup spinach
1/2 cup kale
5 baby carrots
1 small Gala apple
1 cup of blueberries
1 scoop of Whey protein

Cal: 409 Protein: 34 Carbs: 64 Fat: 5

The Benefits

Smoothies like these are going to get you some servings of fruits and vegetables that you might miss out on otherwise. I strongly recommend experimenting with other vegetables and fruits as you can make some very tasty smoothies that way. You can even change up the base by using Almond milk instead of low fat chocolate milk. The combinations are abundant.
