Best Fruit Smoothies

Smoothie Diet Without question, the number one challenge about dieting is managing hunger. While feeling hungry all of the time is something most can deal with for a while, after a few days of dieting it becomes impossible to ignore the hunger and we fall off our diet again. But incorporating a smoothie diet with another, more traditional diet, offers a hunger-reducing plan that prevents those annoying hunger pangs and helps you stay on track to meet your weight loss...

Orange Spinach Salad Healthy Smoothie

I really enjoyed the fruity spinach smoothie we posted on Tuesday this week-and it reminded me of my favorite salads. It is a cold spinach salad that is made with citrus, a tart citrus dressing – topped with glazed pecans. I also have a great salad recipe using spinach, apples, walnuts, and onions. Looking at the recipes made me hungry so I decided to make up another healthy smoothie recipe using my spinach salad recipe....

Orange Pineapple Smoothie

Easy, refreshing and a great recipe for an afternoon treat! In your blender mix: 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks 1 1/2 cups orange juice 1 cup of low fat yogurt (plain, vanilla, mandarin orange or pineapple) Because the pineapple might be very juicy, only add about 1 cup of orange juice to start. Blend and if you need to smooth out the fruit, then add some more orange...

Delightful Banana-Chocolate Smoothie Recipe

This is a great afternoon, after-school treat smoothie! 2 cups low fat or fat free milk 1 cup low fat or fat free yogurt 4 bananas (diced) 6 tablespoons chocolate syrup (low fat if you are being good) Put everything into your blender and mix until smooth....

Carrot Smoothie

Most recipes for a carrot smoothie add apple juice, some yogurt and maybe a sugar substitute like Splenda or Stevia. This one goes a lot farther and adds some more really good ingredients. All are low fat, low calorie so its safe to add to your smoothie diet recipe collection. It might also work as a hangover recipe too! Whatever you use it for, it is very good and a real treat anytime for any reason. 1/2 cup chopped...

Cucumber Smoothie

Serving a cucumber smoothie is a little out of the ordinary but still good. When mixed with another fruit, like it is here with blueberries, it takes on a very unique flavor. Try this one the next time you are looking for something a bit different. This recipe will also work very well in your smoothie diet recipe collection. 1 cucumber, peeled and sliced 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries 1 cup apple juice Ice to...

Pear Smoothie Recipe

Here is a pear smoothie recipe to help celebrate the mild temperatures and lack of significant snow (for most of us anyway). Pears are one of the best winter fruits, coming into their own in the winter and early spring months. Pears are loaded with dietary fiber and antioxidants such as vitamin C. Besides all that, they taste great either by themselves and especially in this pear smoothie! 1 Bartlett Pear 1/2 cup plain Greek...

Plum Smoothie

A plum smoothie recipe that is very easy to make and has quite a bit of nutritional value too. Of course, when plums are dried they are called prunes but they are tasty too. But this is a plum smoothie and also makes use of some leafy greens . I used baby spinach but you can really use anything you like. If you are expanding your smoothie diet recipe collection, this one is good to use. 2 deseeded plums (leave the skin on, it...

Corn Smoothie

A corn smoothie is obviously made with corn. Amaze your friends with these corn facts! Corn (0r “maize” if you prefer) is more widely grown in the Americas than any other crop. Corn is technically a grain but is most often used in food as either a starch or a vegetable. About 40% (130 million tons) of the corn grown in the U.S. is used to produce ethanol fuel (and you wondered why food prices keep going up) The...

Apple Smoothie Recipe

Apples are so available that we sometimes overlook how healthy they are. Apples are quite low in saturated fat and have no cholesterol. Apples are also a good source of vitamin C. And the same can be said for apricots as well, no cholesterol, low in saturated fats and sodium. Put together in one good Apple smoothie recipe, these two fruits are as tasty as they are healthy. One note: If you are thinking about adding this...

Guava Smoothie With Lime

Guava is more often found in salads and even some spreads but it also makes a great smoothie, especially when used with Limes. This guava smoothie is very easy to make and tastes just great! 2 ripe guavas, peeled, seeded and chopped into pieces 1 1/2 cups of cold milk (soy, low fat or evaporated) 3 Tbsp of honey (if counting calories on a smoothie diet, use Stevia instead) 2 limes Ice to taste 1 tsp Chia seed for...

Banana Ginger Smoothie

Ginger comes from the root stock (or “rhizome”) of the Ginger plant (“Zingiber officinale”) and is a really good spice that gets used in a lot of ways around the kitchen like, for instance, this Banana Ginger smoothie. This recipe has a wonderful snappy taste and we’ve used it both as a snack and as a planned dessert. If you are planning on a smoothie diet, you would probably want to replace the...
