swanheartJust collecting it here for my own sake, but others might find it useful... I mentioned some smoothie recipes in the previous entry. So, here are the ones I found.
"Life-saving electrolyte smoothie" (from the PrettyThin forums, I'm swanheart on there though I don't post on much)
1 banana
2 - 3 dates (dried or medjool)
2 tsp. cocoa powder
1 cup crushed ice
1/2 cup of calcium-enriched milk/milk alternative
I'm drinking this now, this one is really nice. I make it with almond milk because I like it soooo much more than actual milk. And I have Godiva's cocoa powder (uwaaaah) so I used that O.O
This is supposed to be a life saving recipe for restoring some vital things in the body after purging (although if you binge on weird things, I don't think it's a good idea to have in the house any Godiva's chocolate powder, that stuff is so expensive!), but, I don't purge so for me, it's just good for recovering from being deydrated after a lot of sickness and stuffs. And, just tastes good ^^
Oh, with this one, do add a bit more ice than you think you would need, or, it's too thick. And ice is no-calories so, add as much as you want really as long as it doesn't spoil the flavour ^^
Tropical smoothie
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
3 oz key lime yogurt (I doooon't like this stuff so, I would use a fat free lime sorbet instead)
1/4 cup lite coconut milk
1/2 cup ice cubes
1/4 cup water
This one came from the back of my pineapple chunks packet ^^ I didn't try it yet, but, coconut milk and pineapple... so summery... this can't possibly not be good, right? Unfortunately, I could not find coconut milk at the store today, so, I can't try it soon ;w;

Date: 2011-06-26 03:36 am (UTC)I love smoothies so much ;w; It's one of my favourite things. I'm always happy to share recipes.
My usual "do it as I go" recipe is just: whatever frozen fruit I feel like, enough to fill about 1/3 of the blender, but, depends on blender's size. Often, one or two of: peaches, pineapples, strawberries, or mixed berries. Each of these can make something different and good. Then fill it up with orange juice (fresh as you can get it) until the juice is the height of the fruit, then blend it. Doesn't need to add extra ice, doesn't need to add any sorbet or yogurt or milk, you can add a few chocolate chips if you want, and if you don't, it's completely fat-free, natural, healthy and tastes delicious ^^

Date: 2011-06-26 03:52 am (UTC)GUHHHH I KNOW. When I worked at the coffee shop and got free bananas and soy milk, I had a smoothie every day. I LOVE putting bananas in them. I don't usually go for them, but in smoothies....YES PLZ. *grin* I had mangoes and oranges and berries a lot, too.
O_O You know, I never really thought about using orange juice. That...is rather a brilliant idea! O_O I must try this! I like using Silk vanilla soymilk myself, too, because...well, vitamins. Our body's so deficient, and Silk is really tasty for us. ^_^ Buuut, orange juice...*drools* Augh, and now my brain is working again. *droolface*

Hehe, definitely let me know any ideas that you think of!
