Whey-free Smoothie Recipes

Another great one is a cup of yogurt or kefir, half a frozen banana, half a cup of chopped mango, and half a peach. Yum.

My daily smoothie {which changes a little based on what I have in the house!}:
3 cups of water
fill up the Vita-Mix with spinach & kale {and any other leafy green you might have}
parsley & cilantro
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1/2 c. kefir
1/2 – 1 avocado
1/2 lemon
1 frozen banana
1/2 – 1 c. frozen berries
scoop of vanilla protein powder
{taste & see if you need to sweeten it or if it’s yummy…you can always add stevia!}
if more liquid is needed…add coconut milk or kombucha until you reach the desired consistency!

There are such delicious ideas on here…thanks for all the recipes this week!  🙂

I love Primal Toad’s Smoothie Recipe Books!

This is my favorite smoothie:

Chocolate Cherry Almond Smoothie
4 oz coconut water or almond milk
4 oz greek yogurt, plain (optional)
1 cup frozen cherries
1/2 frozen banana
1 Tbsp raw cacao powder
2 pkts stevia
1 scoop protein powder (use two scoops if you omit the yogurt)
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
Blend in Vitamix until smooth…if your fruit isn’t frozen you can add some ice cubes.

For a post workout smoothie do the following (this is similar to Sarah’s above):
 
1 c of unsweetened coconut milk
1-2 tablespoons of your favorite nut butter (I like sunflower)
1/2 a banana (if frozen all the better)
1 scoop of low carb protein powder – whey isolate is the lowest – any flavor you like
spinach leaves if you have them
ice

I’m intriqued about the coconut cream mentioned above – anyone know where to get it?

My fav smoothie:

1 cup Kale
2 sticks celery
1 large pear
1/2 cup coconut milk

Blend.  You can substitute ie pear for apple or kale for other leafy greens:)

My best smoothie:
1/2 to 1 frozen banana1 cup coconut milk
1 cup frozen berries
BIG handful of turnip greens
1/2 small zucchini
1 tablespoon spirulina
1 egg yolk

Blend until smooth, and then enjoy!

This is my go to smoothie that I never tire of:

Huge amount of oragnic spring greens mix – I stuff as much as I can in the blender
1/2 banana (sometimes 1)
frozen berries
coconut oil – 1 T
cocoa powder – 1 T
ice cubes

Blend everything and enjoy the refreshing smoothie. Sometimes I add 1/2 an avocado which makes it really thick and creamy, and with the cocoa it almost tastes like chocolate pudding.

Second favorite is:
3-4 ribs kale, ribs removed
big handful organic baby spinach
1 banana
seasonal fruit + ice OR frozen fruit (from last season)
water as needed

Blend kale with enough kale to make it “go.” Add spinach, more water if needed. Blend. Add banana and other fruit, blend.

and another, which i actually got from Todd…is that allowed? at any rate, it’s delicious. and i think i changed it up a little, i can’t quite remember. i tend to make it differently each time, depending on what i have in the house.

pumpkin pie and/or pumpkin banana bread in smoothie form:

1/2 frozen banana
1/2 banana
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons organic pumpkin puree
1 (heaping) tablespoon almond butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 – 1 cup coconut (or almond) milk
1 raw egg

oooh, i wonder how it would taste if you put a bit of nutmeg in there, too.
