The Smoothie & Veggie Thread
having heard of more than a few ENers that are believers in fruit smoothies & vegetables. I was wondering what most people toss in their blenders and how they prepare different veggies, please share your favorites!

1 banana, 100cals of whey protein, 2 tbsp of shredded unsweetened coconut, 2 tbsp flax seed, 1 teaspoon glutamine, 2 cups of frozen berries, 1.75 cups cold water. Blend.
For long days where I'm going 3+ hours, I also add in 1/4 cup quaker oats.
I totally wing it. So much so that my kids notice "batch-to-batch" variability.
My general recipe is - 3-4 cubes of ice, blueberries (fresh or frozen depending on cost), strawberries (or other frozen fruit), 1 scoop whey protein powder (30g protein), some juice, few scoops of yogurt. I use a Magic Bullet. I don't like bananas.
See! No real recipe. Mix it up and drink it down.
My go to Fruit Smoothie Recipe:
1 cup 1% milk
1 cup OJ
1-2 scoops Whey Protien Vanilla (27-54grams)
Frozen Banana Slices (they're AWESOME)
Frozen Strawberries
Another Delicious Smoothie - fills you up and keeps you going until lunch for sure
1 cup 1% milk
1-2 scoops Whey Protien (chocolate)
2 tablespoons Peanut Butter
1 Banana (fresh or frozen)
My favorite way to prepare veggies is on the grill with a little olive oil and seasoning salt. OR using a large skillet- get it hot and add a little olive oil add the veggies ( green beans, brocolli, cauliflower) then toss with a little seasoning salt until just starting blacken. The blackening carmelizes the sugars in the veggies and makes them taste great.
