I’ve been thinking about having smoothies every morning for some time – or at least trying to create a routine that involves them. But I’m one of those people who easily forgets about something when they focus their attention elsewhere, so it’s still just a thought.

Still, I read that they are healthy and should be included in our diets, so I;m now very interested. I love fruit, I love milk, so I’d definitely love to drink a combination of them.

It’s a shame I still didn’t get to it, but as soon as I read the recipe for your Peanut Butter Banana version I felt my mouth watering. I think I’ll finally have to include this in my morning routine, starting with that one. Can’t resist peanut butter in any kind of way.

The smoothie recipe has my vote for a great reawakening at breakfast time! For a couple of months we have been living without homemade smoothies (my husband buys some bottled ones) because our Vitamix carafe cracked and I didn’t feel up to putting out $200 for a new one. However, it is getting harder and harder to resist ordering one. Like CynB above, we also include greens in ours. I just discovered that the mat of chickweed in my garden is a nutritious and tender green that is lovely steamed. I am going to try a handful in a smoothie as soon as I get that carafe. Thanks for the post!

I love this! The Peanut Butter Banana smoothie is simply to die for. I wasn’t really convinced about smoothies, though all my friends swear by them, until I tried it. Now I understand: they’re easy, convenient, and not to mention delicious. Thanks for sharing these recipes!

Thank you for sharing! You can never have too many recipes. I agree wholeheartedly that smoothies are a great, healthy option to replace a snack or a meal. The berry blend is a classic for me. That is probably one of the first I ever tried and still go back to with frequency. I have started to branch out a bit and have tried to go for a “green” version whenever possible for maximum nutrients. Typically, I start with a banana, add whatever I have frozen to avoid the use of ice (berries, pineapple, mango, peaches, etc), add my greens (spinach or kale), add flaxseed or chia seeds, and end with a wet ingredient such as almond milk or a 100% juice. Blend and serve. Has worked out every time and is something I try to have every single day.

I do enjoy a smoothie, and these recipes do sound delicious. Much more appetising than some of the concoctions my colleagues are bringing to the office lately. They are all-consumed by the NutriBullet and have taken to mixing up no end of odd combinations! As well as being a smoothie lover, I can quite happily get on board with juicing, but to mix the two – yuk! To destroy an otherwise tasty combination of pulverised fruit with the addition of kale or beetroot is way beyond my comprehension – it makes me shudder! Give me the peanut butter any day!

These look great! I’m a huge fan of fruit in general, and berries and bananas happen to be among my favorites! 😀 I also have a small blender that has the drink lid on top which makes it SUPER easy to take with me, and then I don’t have to worry about washing extra cups and such. I love it.

I’ve done berry and banana/peanut butter smoothies before, but I’ve never tried the orange creamsicle one, so I’m definitely going to have to give it a go. It looks awesome! I have a couple of red grapefruit in my fridge right now, so I think I’m going to use those and see what happens. Should be fun!

i think the berry smoothie is my favorite. I’m a huge lover berries over bananas so I would enjoy that more.

All of these seem absolutely delicious. I really want to try the creamsicle.

In reply to Jasmine2015.

I had no idea that something like “peanut butter powder” existed. The Chocolate Peanut Butter powder sounds exactly like the one thing my life has been missing all these years. I’ve always loved a nice, creamy smoothie, but never tried a peanut butter one before.
Besides from that, do you think a smoothie tastes better if you use fresh fruits or frozen ones?

Once again I learn something new here. I had no idea peanut butter powder even existed. I do love a good smoothie. I just hate having to clean the blender, no matter how easy it is. It’s still winter and I know some people don’t like cold beverages in the winter but I do.
