What Do You Like In Your Smoothie?



Recommended Posts

So I'm totally not a whey Protein kind of person. Makes me nauseous big time. So I decided to make a healthy fruit smoothie for myself.

I use frozen fruits, freeze Greek yogurt in silicone ice cube trays, v8 fusion light, ground flax seed (must be ground ), & green tea extract. Sometimes I use choc almond milk or vanilla instead of v8 fusion.

So I'm curious besides whey protein what do yoi put into your smoothies? !

I dont like Protein shakes but I do like Optifast, and often use it as a base. I get weird comments when i buy it along the lines of, oh, you dont need this stuff but the thing us, becuse its a Meal Replacement, its very nutritious! And it doesnt taste like eating candles which is how Protein Shakes taste to me.

I like vanilla opti with frozen berries or with Peanut Butter and banana (often use the PB2 powder to save calories and about half a frozen banana)

strawberry is good with frozen berries too

And i love the coffee flavour with a few walnuts

I too always add ground flaxseed and a few spoonfukks of psyllium.

smoothies are great for bandsters because using something like Optifast you get a fruit serve, a huge whack of fibre and a large total of ypur days Vitamins and minerals in a meal that goes dcown without drama and is less than 300 calories.

As a bancdster smoothies

I love my "Super Shakes". Full of super foods! - Spinach, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, fage plain yogurt, ground flax, coconut Water, and bipro unflavored whey Protein. I love them. I can't taste the spinach or the protein. I also take a probiotic and Vitamins at the same time.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
