fastfoodaddictnomore 66 Posted January 24, 2018 Does anyone make green smoothies? I had the DS on 12/8/17 and want to use my Blendtec. I’m interested in any DS friendly recipes. Thanks.

FluffyChix 17,415 Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I make a "green" smoothie. Here's my recipe for it: Base: 2oz frozen spinach 2oz frozen blueberries 30g (or about 1 scoop) Isopure banana cream Protein Powder (or any flavor) 1 eyedropper vitacost liquid vanilla stevia 16oz Water (or coconut milk or Fairlife fat free milk) 4-6 ice cubes Nutrition with water as the base: 140 cals; 25g protein; 6g carbs; 2g fiber; 4g net carbs; 4g sugar naturally occurring Variations: 6g whole psyllium husks (makes it thicker and lasts with me longer before hunger) - 21 cals; 5g carbs; 4g fiber; 1g nt. carb 6g vitacost Peanut Butter slim powder - 22 cals; 3g protein; 1g fat; 2g carbs; 1g fiber; 1g net carb Nutrition when I'm doing a peanut butter banana blueberry with psyllium and water as the base: 183 cals; 28g protein; 1g fat; 13g carbs; 7g fiber; 6g net carbs; 4g sugar. Nutrition when I'm doing a peanut butter banana blueberry with psyllium and 8oz Fairlife Fat Free Milk and 4-8oz water as the base: 263cals; 41g protein; 1g fat; 19g carbs; 7g fiber; 12g net carbs; 10g sugars (this would last me for 2 meals at least). I know for DS you can have extra fats, so maybe add 1 tbsp or 2 of whole peanut or almond butter rather than the peanut butter slim powder. You can also add coconut oil if you feel like you have to have it or I sometimes add 1/4 of a ripe avocado.
