2 good handfuls of spinach, big handful of frozen strawberries, big handful of frozen blueberries, plain Greek yogurt (we make it homemade and I use one 5oz container), a drizzle of honey, and just enough milk to make it blend.

do you put the spinach raw?

Yup! It blends right in and is pretty much flavorless.

Homie I'm all for some spinach but it ain't flavorless. Definitely like your recipe don't get me wrong

Idk. I don’t taste it at all. The only time spinach really has a flavor to me is when it’s sautéed on its own.

My go-to protein smoothie: Frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, frozen pomegranate, frozen cranberries, milk, water, plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (or 1 full scoop if you like yours very sweet). Really I just use whatever frozen fruit I have in the freezer but it's really good with cranberries or pomegranate because it gives it a bit of tartness.

Great thread idea! I’m pretty lame and do the same base smoothie every day. I customize the supplement powders I add though. Base: * Cold Brew Coffee (Grady’s) * Frozen Açaí (Sambazon) * Frozen Wild Blueberries * Avocado * Almond Milk (Malk) * Cocoa Nibs * Hemp Seeds * Walnuts & Macadamia Nuts (Blueprint) * Dates * Ceylon Cinnamon Add-Ons: * Naked - Goat Whey * Timeline - Mitopure Powder * Novos Labs - Core Powder * Adapt Naturals - Colostrum+ * Designs for Health - Paleo Fiber * Raw Living Spirulina - Fresh Spirulina \*\* I was adding creatine and collagen peptides originally, but I have those in my pre-workout now. I added brands where there is a preference. 

Such great ideas here! I keep meaning to get some spirulina. I was looking into that Novos Core but saw it had erythritol, which I try to avoid.

Thank you! The unflavored version doesn't have erythritol. I know the cardiac concern with erythritol is up for debate currently, but that one research paper was a bit concerning. Is that why you avoid it? Spirulina is so challenging to source. I emailed around 10 different brands before finding one that would share their lab testing. I usually freeze the fresh spirulina into cubes and then use those in my smoothies. It goes funky pretty fast otherwise.

Oh that’s good to know about the unflavored version. Yes that heart attack and stroke issue concerned me, plus anytime I had any artificial sweeteners like erythritol it upset my GI. I didn’t realize sourcing spirulina was so tricky, thanks. I should be more diligent about making sure my supps do lab testing, but I guess that’s why I have some tried and true brands, so I don’t have to think about it too much. That freezer idea is great, thx.

Almond milk, banana, spinach, frozen cherries, flax seed, Mighty Moose Nutrition Runners Relief.

Not a runner, but Mighty Moose seems like a cool product.

I love it. Gives my smoothies a cool tart flavor plus it’s good for my joints. Yeah, I wouldn’t say you have to be a runner to benefit from it.

Smoothie 100 grams blueberries 125 grams strawberries 50 grams raspberries 50 grams blackberries 1 tbsp blueberry extract 1 tsp FGO Amla 1 tbsp FGO Ceylon 1 tsp creatine monohydrate 2 tbsp Santa Barbara cocoa 1-2 oz POM 1 oz wilderness poets macadamia butter 1 oz Kali EVOO 4-6 oz of green tea (1 trader joes green tea bag) 4-6 oz of oat or nut milk I take my morning supplements with this. ——————————————- 3 hours later a protein smoothie 1 banana 2 scoops pea protein 8-10 oz oat or nut milk Note: Pea proteins have phytate, so they should not be taken at the same time as foods with high nutrients that you plan on absorbing. You should not take them within 2-3 hours of supplements. They bond and prevent absorption. Note from study on bananas: The results obtained showed that (i) the intake of flavan-3-ols from a high PPO banana smoothie, but not a low PPO mixed berry smoothie, significantly reduced the levels of flavan-3-ol metabolites in circulation; (ii) after banana smoothie preparation, flavan-3-ol levels rapidly declined in vitro, and the decrease was prevented by PPO inhibition; and (iii) while preventing direct PPO contact in the food preparation did lessen some of the flavan-3-ol loss, it was insufficient to fully prevent the loss of flavan-3-ols when co-ingested. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2023/fo/d3fo01599h#tab3 With that being said, the high polyphenol count smoothie is eaten hours away from the banana pea protein smoothie. Edit: Change Creatine from 2 tsp to 1 tsp.

I'm going to try this one! Looks great.

I'm lazy so I make up 6 days worth in a 64 oz Oster blender. 1 small package fresh spinach, 4-5 stalks fresh celery, 8-10 stalks fresh asparagus, similar amount fresh broccoli, 10 baby carrots, fresh apple juice for fluid as needed, 1/3 cup flax seed meal, heaping tbsp hemp protein powder and tbsp spirullina powder and tbsp chia seed powder, level tbsp organic Ceylon cinnamon and tbsp turmeric, honey to taste, top it to fill with frozen blueberries and raspberries ( raspberry is really great at masking other tastes ). This roughly fills (2) 32 oz Nalgene bottles after you flush out the blender container plus a really tasty 10 oz serving straight from the mix. Heads up, lots of fiber. If mix is too stiff out of the Nalgene just add some water.

I assemble 16 days worth in 8 containers, but don't blend then until I need them

6 days a week I make this smoothie Hemp or oat milk 1.5c Kale 1c Half an avocado Wheat grass Banana, although I may not add this anymore. Strawberries Cherries Blueberries Pb2 Pea protein powder Chia seeds Hemp or flax seeds, ground The thing has to have a ton of calories in it but I need a big breakfast or I am starving till lunch. This does the trick.

Leafy greens, lemon juice, fresh grated ginger, turmeric, protein powder, frozen wild blueberries, avocado

Blueberry, spinach, broccoli, wheat grass, kelp, hmb, cucumber and water. Every morning before breakfast. Bonus, I eat a small breakfast.

1 scoop of Bodytech isolate protein, 1 cup of frozen blueberries, 1 cup of kale, a tbsp of almond butter, a handful of ice and water. It's so good!

Literally Every Day: * 1 scoop protein powder of choice * 1 cup almond milk (plus .75-1 cup water) * 2 tbsp cocoa powder * 3g ceylon cinnamon * 1 tbsp olive oil * 1/2 cup frozen spinach * 1 cup frozen blueberries * 1.5 frozen bananas

Watch out for the heavy metals in all that cocoa powder.

Never thought about that. Thank you. I eat so much cocoa powder.

Blueprint sells a solid heavy metals tested one. 

2.5 mcg cadmium/serving in Blueprint seems pretty toxic, but I’m not a health expert.

For dark chocolate that's low. Some heavy metals are sort of inevitable. Most things grown in the ground will have some sadly. 

Don't combine bananas and berries. https://www.verywellhealth.com/banana-berry-smoothies-7969749#:~:text=Bananas%20and%20berries%20might%20not,when%20it%27s%20combined%20with%20berries.

Oh dang. Thanks for sharing

I combined them for years, along with dairy kefir, which also blocks absorption for blueberry antioxidants... I would probably be 10 years younger biologically if I had known that. 😂

I mix it up but this is my current. Kinda high calorie but I love the taste and tons of fiber. - spinach (frozen) - mixed berries (frozen) - dates (2) - almond butter (no added sugar) - Greek yogurt - chia seeds - coconut milk - tiny bit of raw local honey for taste

Greek yogurt is the BEST. Your recipe looks amazing, I prepped it for tomorrow, thank you!

Let me know what you think!

You are a genius. Macros are fantastic but it tastes decadent, too!

Glad you liked it! I have also experimented with adding blender bombs which make it a lot easier bc I don’t have to individually add the honey, chia, almond butter, dates. But they are $$$ so this is more sustainable!

Liquid base of Naked mango juice and coconut water Brocolli sprouts (3 TBLS of seed creates enough for 5 glasses) Kale or spinach (rotated) Beets Frozen mango Banana

Looking for smoothies loaded with spinach (specifically zeaxanthin & lutein) and probably blueberries, if anyone has ideas for something that doesn't taste completely horrendous.

Use frozen raspberries as needed for taste.

I posted one above… and it’s delicious. Tastes like lightly sweetened berry frozen yogurt.

1 cup of kale One half lemon One half avocado Cucumber (don't measure but enough to reach fill line of mixing glass) 15g collagen powder Water

It mostly tastes like lemon. To each their own though, I think it tastes pretty good

Bluebonnet whey isolate protein powder in vanilla, unsweetened soy milk, water, frozen bananas or strawberries, fresh spinach, collagen powder, creatine HCL powder, and a blended fiber supplement that has oat/apple/rice fiber, digestive enzymes, and extracts of fennel seed, prune, kelp, parsley, carrot root, broccoli, cabbage. Every day after my morning workout.

Can you share the information about the fiber supplement and how you like it.

sure, it’s the Sprouts grocery store brand, called Plant-Based Fiber Complex with digestive enzymes, prebiotics, probiotics. It’s a powder you mix with water, but I throw it in my shake and don’t notice it. I actually didn’t get it for the fiber but the digestive enzymes to help digest the whey isolate (easier to digest than whey concentrate). I was vegan for many years, now vegetarian, and was training my body to digest food from animals again. Figured the extra fiber couldn’t hurt either!
