Yeah if I’m spending that much time on a smoothie it better help me ascend to a higher plane of existence or something 
Mine goes:
Almond milk
Frozen banana
Big handful of spinach or kale
Big spoonful of peanut butter
Tablespoon chia seeds
Couple shakes of vanilla extract and cinnamon
Sometimes a little Greek yogurt
A few more possible ingredients you may have overlooked:
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,–
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble
Where can I get them?
Bannana
frozen mixed berries
strawberries
soy milk
chia seeds
hemp seeds
I tried getting creative with my smoothies and it wasn’t worth it… i’d give up on doing them completely.
2 bananas
1/4 avocado (or half if it’s a tiny avocado)
Fill with water to avocado level
1 tablespoon of plain greek yogourt
1 scoop of chocolate protein whey
if bananas are not ripe, 1 teaspoon of honey
2-3 ice cubes
Often times, this is what i’ll have in the morning. If the coffee maker was off and coffee had time to cool down, i usually will replace half the water with coffee.
Hm hm hmmmmm
Try kefir instead of water. Have you tried - or had the time - to work work out the nutritional values/macros of your daily morning smoothie?
No, but I would estimate (by calories):
15% fat by calories (seeds, cacao and avocado)
15% protein (pea protein powder, and traces from vegetables and seeds)
70% carbs (but with tons of fiber)
700 to 800 calories per 50 ounce bucket.
I want to keep out all dairy, but maybe goats milk kefir would be okay, just too expensive to add every day.
Make your own kefir. Ridiculously cheap and easy, nor does it have to dairy-based. Packed full of nutritional goodness.
We do make kombucha (about $1 per gallon). I’ll look into coconut based kefir.
Good thought! Thanks.
I’m with you on that list. Way too much! Bit whatever floats your boat.
I like your list, but I would definetly add some sort of greens to it.
The more colorful, the more more benefits.
I cosider my smoothies as “Drinking” my salads.
Add some cinnamon and powdered peanut butter to it.
It’s all good–no matter how big or small the list is!
My favourite smoothie recipe - Strawberry Banana Spinach Smoothie
Needs:
1 cup Strawberries
1 ripe Banana
3 ounces Baby spinach
½ cup Almond Milk
1 cup Water
Try!))
I use pretty much the same ingredients most have posted above with the addition of hemp seeds and spirulina in every smoothie. Most a just baby spinach, banana, berries (usually blue), spirulina, hemp seeds, and water.
mixed nuts
raw oats
frozen mixed organic berries
banana
organic spinach or salad blend
water
you forgot the unicorn horn!
chocolate protein power, peanutbutter powder, oats, peanut butter, almond milk, ice, banana
This one is more of a warning…grabbed what I thought was the Cinnamon this morning, dumped a descent amount into my smoothy and blended it up.
Took a big sip…turns out that the Cinnamon bottle looks remarkably like the Cumin bottle but Cumin doesn’t taste nearly as good in a smoothy. Definitely an ingredient to steer clear of in case anyone was thinking of trying it.

Just a dumb question, but if I make one up before I workout, store in fridge, leave for hour or so, is it going to go off or something compared to drinking it straight away?
I would say no. A thin layer of the smoothie might oxidize where it is exposed to the air, (still edible, just not as high a nutrient content) but under that layer should be fine. I make enough for two days and put them in sealed containers and they are fine.
Was thinking something with a lid, thanks for that.
