So, I need to pick your nutrition educated brain!

If I wanted to make a good-ish meal replacement type smoothie at home, any suggestions on what to put in it?  I've got vanilla whey powder and plenty of fruits.  FI has been doing the slimfast shakes once every day or two, but they make him stink like a mofo (tmi, probably), so I wanna come up with something else that he can take to work in a thermos.  Plus I'd just rather him not be on manufactured food.

SPINACH!!!


how did your interview go btw?

mocha beans

Pretty good, they're gonna set me up with a second interview beginning of next week to meet with the supervisor and see the house I'd be working at.  So, sounds pretty good.

Also, I supposed to be at work.  I have *food poisoning*.

Spinach I have tons of, but does it taste weird with fruits?

Nebb

Nope, you dont even taste it. Theyre called green monsters. I did one last week with blue berries, spinach, 1/2 banana, yogurt, milk, chocolate protein powder and some water and it was delish! You can put virtually anything in it - I want to try one with carrot and cinnamon.

Nebb

Awesome about the interview, good luck on the next one!

maggyruth

Actually, it doesn't...you can't really taste it once it's blended up really well.

I know I'm not Ricksang, but I like Green Monsters:

11/2 c milk (I use unsweetened vanilla almond breeze)
big handful of spinach
banana
ice

Blend it up...tasty.

I substitute the banana for other fruits...still delish (though I don't recommend LOOKING at the smoothie w/ raspberries...kinda looks like baby poo...)

ricksang

Spinach, as nebb said also

Bananas
Peanut butter
cottage cheese
grape nuts
uncooked oatmeal
flaxseed
strawberries
dark chocolate
 
NOT ALL TOGETHER THOUGH LOL!
let me think some more .....

ricksang

canned pumpkin

pumpkin spice

Yes making him smoothies would be much more filling and healthier than slim fast BUT IDK if they will help with the gas!

Ooohh, pumpkin sounds good, I never even thought of that.

Thanks my dear, I'll be experimenting this weekend!  Gonna have to try one of those Green Monsters.

Nebb

I bet the pumpkin with shredded carrot, cinnamon and vanilla protein powder would taste incredible. OMG I want.

Ang! I thought of you today!  I read they are coming out with a True Blood drink!

ricksang

OMG Shelley that looks good! I'd so try it! I have always wanted to try a blood orange too.

ricksang

Nebb we can't get pumpkin in Jackson right now until Aug. The pumpkin crop froze and there is a shortage   Pumpkin is like my favorite too.

Nebb

I tried blood oranges recently and I dont knwo if I got one that was a bit off but it wasnt that exciting - the flavour was a tad bland and I didnt raelly like it.

shellydiane820

I see blood oranges and think of Dexter.

The beginning of that show always makes me want breakfast.

ricksang

Nebb that info makes me kind of sad.

Shelley, yes! Dexter= blood oranges.

Nebb, are you missing Food Rev?

Nebb

Nope, its on at 9 here.... to my knowledge. Now i have to go double check.

ricksang

Ohhh okay.

nda_roxybabe

I want a smoothie but I have none of the above. *pouts*

ricksang

Roxy, if you buy fruit make sure to let the FI/FH know that is IS NOT pizza!

nda_roxybabe

He will get so upset that I'm throwing his "pizza" into the blender

ricksang

LMAO Roxy!
