I'll bet fish taste better though.

It really doesn't have much of a flavor at all. I used to eat it on top of peanutbutter crackers. They make tablets though... for the wussy at heart...

mix it into your rice with a little salt, pepper and butter. its slimy and green and oh so yummy.

shina · 02-26-2008, 11:27 AM

Green and slimey. Not two words I would put with tasty.

Sorry, I thought this thread was about women shaving pubic hair.

hahahahaha,
hahahahahahaah,

i've never had a smoothie, (meaning the drink - not Merc's genious misconception) although I think i'd like a banana one....

LabRat · 02-27-2008, 11:54 AM

In the summer after a run I like to have a smoothie for breakfast. I usually make mine using various amounts of the following:

-ripe banana
-frozen berries (blue, rasp, black rasp, straw, cherries) that I buy on sale, prep and freeze in individual containers
-1-2 spoonfuls of frozen OJ concentrate (WAY easier and faster than peeling a dang orange)

--vanilla SILK soymilk. I like the added sweetness this gives over plain soymilk, and yogurt makes them too thick for me.

I have a 'smoothie' blender, that has a spigot at the bottom so you don't get all that foamy crap at the top. I don't usually have to add ice unless I'm using fresh berries.

I drink this in the car on the way to work. I do not recommend leaving leftovers in a hot car for a couple days.

I don't like any dairy in mine... I don't know why, I just would rather eat my yogurt out of a carton. I usually do all fruit and juice or add a bit of sorbet for that extra yumminess.

As for Jamba Juice... I could totally go for an immunity boost smoothie right now!

Urbane Guerrilla · 03-01-2008, 10:15 PM

Now me, I like drinking the yoghurt. Most of the time I go for the smoothie with yoghurt or banana or both in it. Gives everything a nice foundation for the fruit flavors to dance on.

Cloud · 03-01-2008, 10:48 PM

me too. but for some reason my local store has stopped carrying low fat yogurt. Whole milk--yes; nonfat--yes. But no low fat, which I think tastes better.

Tho I suppose you really can't taste it much with all that other stuff in there.

DucksNuts · 03-02-2008, 03:54 AM

I like juice and vegie smoothies.

Dairy ones make me feel bloated, which is weird, coz I can drink milk by the litre and eat plenty of yoghurt with fruit....just cant do them together for some reason.

this is one I'm going to try, based on the "Superfoods" theory that pumpkin is a superfood (along with oats, spinach, oranges, soy, turkey, nuts, etc.). Cheap, readily available, low calorie, and all that beta-carotene:

# 4 whole wheat graham crackers (squares)
# 1 cup frozen banana slices
# 1/2 cup ice
# 3/4 cup canned pumpkin (unsweetened)
# 1-1/2 cups orange juice
# 1/2 cup nonfat vanilla soy milk
# 1/2 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
# 1 Tbsp. brown sug
