More bodily function chat--I need a good smoothie recipe

[Creideiki]

I know, I know. Eating is a bodily function, but still.

I need a good smoothie recipe if someone has one.

Thanks!

1. My idea of a smoothie

is a milk shake. With lots of black cherries and vanilla ice cream and milk.

That's not what you're looking for, is it?

4. Oh great. I read this at 11:41 PM.

And I'm thinking, "Where can I get one of those. I don't need one of those. Where is a Steak And Shake? Who needs Steak And Shake- go buy some ice cream. I don't need one of those. If .......
"

5. LISTEN TO ME!!!!

You'll feel bad if you drank this so late at night. Acid reflux. Bloated. Lactose intolerance. Brain freeze.

I'm sorry........................

6. Thank you , ten minutes to go before the corner store closes.

I'll have a cig and make a really cold diet coke, and then it will be too late.

7. And you'll still have the enjoyment of

brain freeze, if you make it cold enough.

Ever throw a hit of Rose's Lime Juice in your diet Coke?

It's nice.



I used to love Diet Coke With Lime, but when I found out about Pepsi's gay-friendly stance, I switched. Diet Cherry Pepsi - very nice................

2. Individual-sized container of vanilla yogurt. Frozen blueberries. Applejuice

banana, ice, blend. Throw in some protein powder if you've got it.

I know, it's not really a recipe. It's a list of ingredients.

8. Dannon's Vanilla low fat yogurt is yummy with fruits.

Blueberries, strawberries, organic granola and sprinkles.

10. Does the fruit have to be frozen?

[Ilsa]

12. No, but it helps make the smoothies colder, versus adding more ice. nt

3. this may sound weird but it's yummy

a handful or two of frozen raspberries, a frozen banana,
apple juice... then add a big hunk of ginger root and a half dozen mint leaves.
Blend until the mint leaves are no more.

mmmm yum


works just as well with strawberries, blueberries, mango, papaya, whatever....

13. Sounds fabulously refreshing! nt

9. You need to get Almond Milk - Unsweetened.

Magnesium is in almonds. Good for digestion.

14. Yummy! great idea for a smoothie. I can get my kids to consume

foods in smoothies that they won't touch prepared any other way.

11. here's how I make mine....

a banana
some frozen strawberries
any other fruit laying around, fresh or frozen
ground flax seed
vegan rice protein powder
vanilla flavored rice milk

Blend til smooth.... it's non-dairy,
but very thick and rich in flavor.
Easy on the tummy and yummy!

15. Adding flax seed is a great idea. Does it have to be ground? Is it

easily digestible as whole seed versus ground?

[gblady]

16. didn't know the answer....

but a quick google search said that if you have them whole...
the good Omega3 oils pass right through without being utilized.

I have an old coffee grinder that I use.
I buy the seeds in bulk and keep them in the refridge.
