favorite smoothie recipe

[Reesha]

Ha, made my boyfriend a 'hangover cure' this morning: 1 banana, 1 cup strawberries, 1 lime, juiced, 1 tbsp raw honey and a cup of water. We'll see how it works.

Made something similar for myself for pre-ride fuel.

I remember reading somewhere, and being told by a foodie friend, that we should not eat fruit and vegetables together as they require different digestive enzymes & digestion times. I think there was some concern of the different enzymes cancelling each other out & upsetting the digestive process.

However - I LOVE spinach & strawberry salad, and can't say I had a bellyache afterward.

At any rate - I keep my morning smoothies all-fruit. DH doesn't like to eat in the morning so this makes us both happy:

2 bananas
1 cup frozen blueberries
handful of strawberries or 2 plums, or mango, or 2 peaches, or whatever looked good
2-3 tbs peanut butter
almond milk

Yum baby yum!

my smoothie recipe comes from the website "Oh She Glows"...
2 cups spinach, microwaved for 2 min to wilt (blends better this way)
1 scoop EAS whey protein powder
1 cup frozen fruit (I really love blueberries)
1 banana
2 tbs ground flax seed
1/2 cup soy milk, or whatever it take to get it blended.

wilting the spinach really makes it pretty much liquefy once you blend it, and between the banana, protein powder and berries, I don't taste it at all.

It keeps me full until about noon if I eat it at 7:30. Of course, I have to force myself to eat breakfast instead of just drinking coffee most days (even if I don't eat, I still get hungry for lunch at about the same time), but I've learned the hard way (bonked rides) that I have to start fueling early.

1 cup froz peaches
1 cup froz raspberries

Throw all into the blender and whizz until you like the texture
