Berry Smoothie with a Kick

I decided to continue playing around with berries, this time adding a few more ingredients to add a healthy dose of nutrients to the finished product.

Foxy's Berry Smoothie

1 cup of milk
3 strawberries
8 raspberries
10 blueberries
1 teaspoon (5ml) ground chia seeds
1 teaspoon (5ml) ground flax seeds/linseeds
2 tablespoons (30ml) vanilla protein powder

This was my breakfast this morning, and I can confirm that it was yummy.

Berry Smoothie Recipe #2

I have a decent supply of berries in the freezer and wanted to experiment with a slightly different berry combination.

The short list of ingredients makes this a very quick and simple smoothie to throw together.

Berry Smoothie

2 cups milk
3 strawberries
20 blueberries
2 tablespoons (30ml) vanilla protein powder

Result of experiment:  Delicious smoothie - huge success.

Tropical Fruit Smoothie Recipe

This is yet another of my creations.

This is a great smoothie for summertime lunches.  I increased the quantity of ingredients in this recipe because it was made for two people.

Tropical Fruit Smoothie

3 cups milk
1 apple
1 mango
3 slices pineapple
1 slice cantaloupe
2 tablespoons (30ml) vanilla protein powder

It was delicious, and the frozen pineapple added a lovely texture.

Berry Smoothie Recipe

This is a recipe for a delicious berry smoothie.  This recipe yields a greater volume mainly because of the larger quantity of milk.

There is also a larger quantity of protein powder in this smoothie than in my previous recipes.  This was a smoothie I made for myself just after I returned from gym, so I wanted to increase the protein volume to aid muscle recovery.

Berry Smoothie

2 cups milk
0.5 apple
3 strawberries
6 raspberries
12 blueberries
2 tablespoons (30ml) vanilla protein powder

I was in a rush to make and drink this after gym as I had quite a lot to cross off my to-do list before I could go out for the evening.

It is so yummy and I wish I had made more.

Banana Melon Smoothie Recipe

This is another smoothie recipe I have created.

Banana Melon Smoothie

1.5 cups milk (dairy, soy, or almond)
0.25 apple
0.5 banana
1 slice of melon
1 teaspoon (5ml) ground chia seeds
1 teaspoon (5ml) ground flax seeds/linseeds
3 teaspoons (15ml) vanilla protein powder

The finished product is slightly orange and smells of melons.  It is quite liquid in consistency and this can easily be altered with the addition of more fruit or less milk at the start.

I devoured this one before I had a chance to take a picture.  I was ravenous and it was delicious.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

I love a fruity smoothie after a long workout.

I have been experimenting for months with different fruit combinations and want to share my favourites here.

I recommend preparing (peeling and chopping) all fruit in advance and freezing in zip-seal freezer bags.  It's helpful to freeze fruit separately so that it's easy to combine different fruits depending on what you're adding to the smoothie.

I make all my smoothies in a standard blender.  No other special equipment is necessary.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

1.5 cups milk (dairy, soy or almond milk - this is dependent on your preference)
0.5 banana
3 strawberries
1 teaspoon (5ml) ground chia seeds
1 teaspoon (5ml) ground flax seeds/linseeds
3 teaspoons (15ml) vanilla protein powder

The consistency is quite liquid and easy to pour.  If you would like a thicker smoothie, add more fruit or pour less milk into the blender when you start.
