Just wondered with Easter eggs behind us If a healthy recipe page for tasty smoothies would be welcomed...I've just made a lovely..smoothie that I found on the net ...it's called a
Clean Green chocolate peanut butter monster... ...I know peanut allergies have to be considered ...if not i won't post it but its lovely...almond milk ....and coco powder unsweetened but bananas sweeten it ...let me know ... .....I need to wean off a little the cadburys

I have nothing to make smoothies with. I sometimes order one on holiday but I can live without them Maxine.

Ok Karl if anybody else wants to great if not then i won't ........maybe its a girly thing

Hey smoothies aren't bad..i like a fresh fruit one every now and then. Robeks Juice Bar here in the U.S. makes a fab Watermelon Smoothie!!

Yummy The ones i do are made with almond or rice milk ...I'm doing a diploma in diet and nutriton and trying to practice what i shout about lolol .....

maxine, i just had a peanut butter and chocolate one which is called "The Gorilla" ha ha. for lunch!

I have tried almond milk but did not like it much. And where does the peanut butter come in your recipe Maxine ? i love peanut butter---too much, so I never buy it. But once a fortnight, Sue from my Hobbies group makes me a peanut butter sandwich for lunch---and my next lunch is due tomorrow ....

As for Smoothies, I tend to prefer fruit smoothies, although they are not as good for you as you would expect, as i think a lot of those you buy are full of sugar.

My friends has a juicing machine, and has lots of juices, quite different to a smoothie.,

That sounds better Eman ....

Eamon your peanut butter and chocolate sounds horrendously sickly, are you trying to pile on the pounds?

no Karl it's actually low cal and I've lost 10lbs recently. lol!!! I also drink wheat grass juice now that's an acquired taste. I think it's blehhhhhhhhhh but I drink it cuz I think it's good for me..

Lolol i put baby spinach into my smoothie but I cant taste ....it is very good for you ...but paper toy more nutritious when lightly cooked lol.....i love smoothies ...like healthy milkshakes ...even a little bit of agave honey can help but banana and pear makes my smoothie sweet ... Well done on the ten pound weight loss....unsweetened peanut butter in small doses is good for you as it feels you up more ....and has lots of nutrients ...and wheatgrass very nutritious ....

Paper toy? ......havnt got a clue how i typed that!!!'
