Let me preface this with... YES many of these recipes SOUND and LOOK gross. And I may never get over the green color~but these smoothies are rockstar. I'd also like to mention that I'm not a vegan.... I'm just an athlete who wants to eat a cleaner diet and eliminate processed foods. With that said here are my top 3 new favorites:
1. Going Green Smoothie
1/2 cup water
1 cup grapes
1/2 cup pineapple
1/2 banana
2 cups spinach
1/2 cup ice
2. Sweet Greens Smoothie
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup cucumber
1 cup spinach
Anyway.... Hope you are ready for Christmas!
Flex sure is:
Awesome! I love mine. I have a HUGE green smoothie at least 1x a day. And you're right... You never get over the green (or brownish) color. But if you add beets then it's not green!
ReplyDeleteI love green smoothies! I just put them in a pink tumbler so I cant see the color. Also- Flex is damn cute.
ReplyDeleteI discovered "green monster" smoothies this year too. Mmm, healthy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteAnd that puppy? Too precious!
First off, Flex is ridiculously cute!
ReplyDeleteSecond, I plan on adding green smoothies to my diet as a breakfsst meal once Santa makes a stop by my place this weekend. I also decided to let Santa put up the funds. haha
I will certainly be making note of those recipes. I'll get back to you on my own preferences and any others I come up with.
I REFUSE to eat any of that crap. :) j/k. Love the pic of the pup. funny. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good Christmas. Sorry about your Steelers. :)
All of those sound FAB! Can't wait to try them out! Maggs is totally spot on with the beets - it turns the odd green/brown color to a wonderful 'raspberry' color :)
ReplyDeleteMmm those look good! Love the Abita glass... way to represent!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I know I posted something similar on the Rev3 facebook page but Flex has to be the cutest thing ever. New Rev3 mascot?
I will have to consider getting a vitamix. I think I would really like it.
ReplyDeleteFlex is so adorable!
i dont have a vitamix but i do have a juicer; made one last night with beet, spinach, parsley, celery and an apple!
ReplyDeleteOh! I'll have to try those. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've never really gotten the whole vitamix thing. I like a smoothie now and then, but like food with texture so I can't see myself using it enough to justify the cost.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen anyone doing cool sauces or soups in the vitamix? Seems like everyone just uses it for smoothies, but maybe that is just me.
I actually love green smoothies too. I always found mine weren't so much green but a nasty grayish color =). Even my husband would drink them!
ReplyDeleteYour dog is SOOOOOOOOO cute!

ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! So excited for you that you got the Vitamix! That thing is amazing and I probably use it at least 2-3 times per day! My favorite recipe that I try to drink daily is "Eat Your Greens Smoothie" 5 oz baby spinach, 2 cups frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup soy milk, 1/2 cup pomegranate juice, 1 Tbsp flax seed, 1 banana - it is soooo good and sooo healthy!
ReplyDeleteOh i want a Vitmix so badly but considering that about 8 mos out of the year anything icey cold sounds TOO COLD I cant justify it! But in the summer month(s) I would love it!
ReplyDeleteFlex is too funny:)
I'm so jealous of the Vitamix crowd! :) That first smoothie sounds AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteFlex is too cute!
Thanks so much for sharing the recipes! I've gotten into the green smoothie thing recently and agree they are awesome, even though they look a little weird.
ReplyDeleteThis has been my go-to recipe:
1 cup vanilla almond milk
1 cup fat-free vanilla or french vanilla yogurt
1 cup frozen berries (I buy a blend of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries & cherries from Trader Joe's)
2 cups spinach
That first concoction looks disgusting!!!!!! Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteCheers to your awesome New Year too, sistah!
xo.
