I love making smoothies, so I thought we could start a thread with our smoothie recipes/ingredients. Here are my top favorites (all personal recipes created by me ):

Basic Recipe: Combine bag frozen fruit, scoop protein powder, 1-2 Tbsp each of wheat germ and flaxseed oil, and 6-8 oz. yogurt. Then fill with milk (or soy/rice milk as an alternate) until fruit is almost covered. Blend until smooth and enjoy! Really fills you up and a great way to get lots of nutrients. Makes 3-4 glasses.

Favorite Frozen Fruits to add:
blueberries
organic strawberries
pineapple
tropical fruit mix
peaches
