Smoothies for good health

here is what I do for breakfast now..

2-3 banannas
1 avacado
1 big handful of berries
some dates
powdered kelp
powdered raw vanilla pods
a bit of raw maca
raw spirulina
raw acai berries(dried)
hemp hearts
spring water
bee pollen
fresh dandelion and nettles when the season is right for me to pick them.

sometimes I add some raw bee honey. I would add bentonite clay but I usually just take it in some water right when I wake up. I add more things sometimes like oranges and mango or whatever I have..sometimes kale or cilantro..
 
Here's what I'm drinking in the morning:

1 banana.
2 Large handfuls of spinach.
1 Tbsp bee pollen.
1 Tbsp cocnut oil.
1 Teaspoon honey.

Probably a touch of water too to help it flow. Also just because water's good stuff :)

I've been meaning to include some raw greens in my breakfast for ages but could never stomach them in mornings. I can't believe the green smoothie concept only just struck me.

Always start your day with an honest helping of greens :D
 
Nice to see Nexus peeps bigging up the smoothies!! I drink one of these literally every day and have been doing so for quite a few years. I can see a friend has beat me to it and chimed in with one of my recipes already! I would just like to recommend the combination of raw cocoa and maca powder together...a good synergy there! Now I've discovered it, both of these two things are essential smoothie ingredients for me (along with all the other good stuff!) 😉

On a smoothie related tangent, do any of you juice fruit and veg?? Another great thing to do.

One of my fave juice recipes:

- an apple
- a few carrots
- a stick or two of celery
- a handful of spinach
- a small chunk of ginger

Serve with ice, to preserve goodies. Taste the fruit/veg rainbow! :)
 
Diggin up an old thread, but I just have to say...I LOVE SMOOTHIES! :love:

I've been doing a blend of raw vegetables and fruits. Carrots, beets, tomatoes, celery, banannas, apples...anything that's in my immediate vicinity :)

I've been making them for about a week now usually every morning and evening. It really is crazy the clean type of energy you get from doing this. Quite amazing.

It's like my whole body and mind wake up from this slumber and I can just feel it coursing through me. Hard to put my finger on. ;)
 
wow there are some very good smoothie ideas in this thread. I've been drinking smoothies for about 2 months now and I can truley say that I feel much better inside and out! I usually try to have one fruit and berry smoothie and another one with 10 grams of chlorella and 10 grams of spirulina + 4 grams of MSM
 
I have nothing to add, except that this thread is awesome! I'm going to have to try some of these out. Right now my smoothies usually consist of a banana, handful of frozen strawberries, 25-30 grams of whey protein (chocolate flavored), and a couple handfuls of Quaker oats. Sometimes I add peach, coconut & blueberries to the mix.
 
My favorite breakfast :love:

Green Chocolate Smoothie

2 Bananas
8 Dates
1 Tbs Shreded Coconut ?flesh?
1 Tbs Pumpkin Seeds (seed of you choice)
2 Tbs Tahina (sesame paste)
1-2 Teaspoons Chlorella
veg milk

Power!
 
My favorite:

Apple juice
Frozen watermelon chunks
Vanilla Yogurt

Optional:
Add various berries and/or banana as desired.

I practically lived off of these last summer.
 
sounds good

bananas can help give some texture to a blended pinneapple, watermelon, ect.. Without a banana or something thicker added in, the pulp can all rise to the top leaving the liquid at the bottom
 
I like to add a lot of coconut oil to my smoothies now..and leave out the bananas..I dunno I am just over bananas.

Lots of blueberries and coconut oil..some maca..

That sounds good, but doesn't it solidify in a cold smoothie? I keep my coconut oil in the refrigerator and I have to chisel off chunks of it with a fork.
 
Raspberry Lemon Chiller

In a blender, mix together:

- A scoop of ice cubes (made with spring water of course, geeze)

- A Handful of raspberries

- A handful of blackberries (optional)

- The juice of half a lemon, a whole one if you're feeling zesty

- A splash of water to thin it enough for the blender

- Sweeten with a tablespoon of frozen fruit juice concentrate or honey (maybe use liquid honey so it doesn't solidify)

Personally, I don't sweeten it cuz I like it tart.8)

Enjoy!
 
3 bananas
2 apples (peeled)
lots of watermelon (so you don't need any water)
shot of olive oil and or flax oil
shot of tahin (sesame paste)
some flax seeds

in the blender

since i am drinking this nearly every day, my sweat smells like melon, wich, strangely turns me on.
:surprised
 
1 handful of blueberries
pineapple to taste
1/2 handful dried goji berries
maca powder 1 tbsp
hemp protein 2 tbsp
1/2tsp chlorella
1/2tsp spirulina
1/2tsp shilajit
1tbsp coconut oil
1tbsp raw honey
1tbsp cacao powder
ice

almond milk to desired consitency

- more berries/ pineapples will help with the taste if its to strong with the other ingredients
 
ya that sounds good I might throw that in, papaya has a lot of good digestive enzymes. I think it would go well with pineapple and blueberry.

Is it ok to put melatonin in a smoothie universecannon? Or does the powder not taste good?
