I just got a blender today, a Ninja Auto IQ one. I have baby spinach, frozen berry mix, frozen strawberries and bananas right now. Should I just dive in and start experimenting?
BTW I am NOT sleeved, I have just seen the surgeon for the first time and am logging my food intake. Have lost 6 pounds so far! :D
I found a recipe online that I'm going with and I'm about to try it.
1/2 C strawberries
1 Banana
1C Spinach
1/2C Almond milk
1tsp Vanilla extract
I have everything so I'll try it! :)
I have a Ninja NutriBullet and I use it daily.
This is my “recipe”...
Frozen berries
Spinach
Fat-free plain Greek Yogurt
Fat-free Fair Life or Unflavored Cashew Milk
Even with smoothies, be aware of your protein -- if you can, put in a scoop of vanilla protein powder. And watch out for sugar/carb/fats in the fruits. Not saying they can't be healthy, but without chewing your system doesn't have the same response to amounts. That's why our mum's used to tell us to chew our food 25 times (or whatever weird number)
Thanks all, and Annie I will watch that. :)
My first smoothie was good but my second one was really good! I put more stuff in and added a handful of blueberries. Excellent! :D
I got this recipe from my NUT.
1 scoop of protein powder (I use Jay Robb Vanilla) mixed with milk or water.
1/2 banana
1 teaspoon of peanut butter
So good!
For the spinach, do you just use raw leaf? I would enjoy a new smoothie recipe.
Yes I bought huge container at Walmart of baby spinach and just throw a handful in. I also now add a handful of blueberries in. It's great!
I should have specified baby spinach.
Great recipes -- and if you go to The World According to Egg Face she has some bodaciously delicious high protein things. MMMM
Tomorrow I am buying protein powder for the first time and will be adding that to my smoothies. I am really enjoying these and am drinking 2 big ones a day. The protein drinks do not fill me up but these do.
