Does anyone else just supplement half their caloric intake with smoothies ?

2 Upvotes

I've been on a weight gain journey for a couple months and have made it to 112 pounds, I'm also autistic so I find it physically hard to eat some foods

I require about 1,800 calories a day, so I just make a smoothie worth about 700-800 calories and it really energizes me for the rest of the day and takes the burden off of having to cook. Anyone else do this?
I dunno if it's healthy but it makes things far easier for me

My ingredients are: 1 cup of milk, 1-2 cups of fruit, 2 tbsp almond butter, 1/2 cup blended oats, and sometimes 1-2 tbsp olive oil/honey if I have it

My blender broke, so I tried making a smoothie with my canoly juicer

3 Upvotes

My old nutribullet hadn’t been working very well recently. It had started struggling with frozen fruit and would often leave a few chunks at the bottom, even after blending for longer.

I was originally going to buy a new blender, but I’d also been thinking about getting a juicer. Instead of buying two separate machines, I decided to try a canoly 3-in-1 and see if one appliance could handle both.

Today I made a smoothie with frozen apple, fresh banana, and Greek yogurt. It isn’t a dedicated blender, so I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but the texture was actually pretty smooth and creamy. No complaints so far.

Does anyone else regularly make both smoothies and juice? Do you use separate machines for each, or have you found one appliance that handles both well?

A few times people said that smoothies spike blood glucose, and I shouldn't have one daily. Just wanted your opinion on my typical breakfast?

Need recommendations

My 3yo & 14mo have smoothies everyday to get fruit + veggies. I use Zaks cups and overall enjoy them because they don’t leak BUT the straw is constantly falling out when my 14mo is using the cup & he gets really frustrated.

Any cup recommendations?

\*Easy cleaning preferred

Thank you

So i know smoothies are still liquid kals and won't help with fat loss/ burn. But is it healthy to drink like 2 smoothies a day to get my vitamins, fiber, iron and protein a healthy choice? I really want to better my health and any time i try and take vitamins whether its with food, after food or before food i always get a really upset stomach. I make my smoothies with soy milk, Greek yogurt, frozen berries, frozen avocado, spinach, grapefruit, mangos, etc... then I add chia seeds and a collagen peptide protein powder. Am I making the right healthy choice? I really just want my skin to feel a little better and maybe not feel so drained all the time

Help me re-create my favorite green monster smoothie, please.

0 Upvotes

There is a local coffee shop near me that makes the best green monster smoothie. I've tried re-creating it but I'm missing the mark. I know some of the ingredients are 1/2 bananna, spinach, liquid yogurt, PB, sweetener which I believe is honey, apple juice and ice. Any suggestions on measurements or a smoothie similar to this? Thanks!

I can't be the only person who gets way too excited about trying new smoothie combinations. 😄

What's your current go-to recipe that you keep making over and over?

Mine usually starts with frozen berries, a banana, Greek yogurt and a splash of almond milk, but I'm always looking for new ideas. Bonus points if it's high in protein or sneaks in some veggies without tasting like a salad.

Also, what's one ingredient you tried on a whim that ended up becoming a permanent part of your smoothies?

Let's share some favorites- I could definitely use some inspiration for my next blend! 🥤🌱

Yet another blender recommendation

3 Upvotes

So I have dwindled down my options to these 2. No I dont want to get a vitamix. I understand its the best but its overkill for my situation, I also need the ease of cleaning and using. I understand it comes with an attachement but this is easier to manage for me and carry around.

The nutribullet pro plus has bigger cups 24 and 32. and has the 1200 watt. It says there is the push to blend one which is cheaper but idk if that keeps the same wattage and cup sizes Can someone confirm. When I click the option it looks like a completely different model.

The ninja pro autoiq is cheaper but has 2 24oz cups and 1100 watts. That should be fine for smoothies but I plan to mix a whole 10 oz bag of spinach to freeze into cubes. I am not sure if that will fit into one of these 24oz cups. In which case the nutrilbullet 32 oz cup would be helpful.

If anyone who has had these give sone insight onto the stuff Imentioned above.

In general I am looking for one that can fit the whole 10 oz bag of spinach, and when making smoothies, not chunks are flakes of spinach are left over. I dont care about loudness.

Very important: it has to have a good record of not being defective overtime like leaks happening, lids getting stuck, lids breaking or not fitting. I am seeing alot of these types of complaints with these 2. So which has a better track record for this stuff and has a better warranty success rate if it does break. If someone who has owned these exact models can shed some light onto this I would greatly appreciate it.

When I was a kid I went there a lot with my dad and thats what we got maybe its spelt with just the number 50 I'm not sure but they always got what we were asking for and they do it at every location I've been to except one so like at least 5 stores throughout my state, but I can't find the drink written down anywhere even the secret menu, anyone know where to find the recipe?
