fresh lemon juice, 2 packets stevia, a squeeze of blue agave, and crushed ice, water to taste. Shaken, not stirred ;) 

i usually make a liter, not including the ice!

Mixed Berry & Orange Smoothie | Recipe via Greedy Gourmet | Serves 3

Ingredients:

• 500g (1 lb) frozen berries, partially thawed
• 30ml (2 tbsp) caster sugar
• 300ml (½ pint / 1¼ cups) freshly squeezed orange juice, or you can buy it from your local grocery store, but avoid the orange concentrate juices!
• 60ml (4 tbsp) single [light] cream [optional]

Method:

1. Tip all but a few summer fruits into a blender or food processor and add the sugar and orange juice. Blend until smooth, adding a little more orange juice if the mixture is too thick.
2. Pour the smoothie into 3 tall glasses and, using a teaspoon, swirl a little cream into each glass. Top with the reserved fruits and serve with long spoons to mix the cream.

Instead of Cream, Get some unflavored protein powder (i like PlantFusion) shake it with some water till it makes a thick runny paste and add that! it thickens the drink up, adds up to 22 grams of protein, and its now lower in fat! Also, try Stevia/truvia or honey as a substitution for the caster sugar!

Just some ideas!

thought this would be a nice addition to your lovely blog :)

Yum, “Nutella” smoothie ! #hazelnuts #vegan #smoothie #cocoa #fresh #homemade Almond milk, roasted hazelnuts, cocoa powder, banana, sweetened to taste, and blend the hell out of it (at Searles Road)

Coming over.

thehealthycook:

1. For the best ratio, follow the 60/40 formula. For example: 3 cups fruit, 2 cups dark leafy greens, 1-2 cups of water. Makes 32-40 oz or 4-5 cups.
2. If bitter or too “green tasting,” add an extra dose of nature’s sweetener.Sometimes, smoothies can taste a little bitter or overpowering from the leafy greens. To fix this, just add a natural sweetner such as bananas, mango, apples, pears or pitted dates.
3. For optimal nutrient content, drink your smoothie right away. Fresh is always best, but sometimes you will have leftovers. Store in airtight containers, like a mason jar with lid, to limit oxidation (which breaks down nutrients and changes the color.) You can keep green smoothies in the fridge for 24 – 48 hours.
4. Change up your liquid base from time to time. Water is a great base for green smoothies, but it’s nice to change it up and incorporate more nutrients and vitamins occassionally. Coconut water is low in fat and calories, yet high in potassium, vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. For a more creamy texture, add unsweetened nut milks to your smoothies like almond milk or coconut milk, which are packed with bone-building calcium and vitamin E.
5. Want your green smoothie to be extra chilly? Freeze your favorite fruits like ripe bananas, grapes, pineapple or berries. This is also a great way to not waste ripe fruits and veggies.
