Your best/favourite vegan smoothie recipe

Hi everyone,I would like to hear your oppinion on your smoothies. I went vegan around 3 months ago. I had a previous attempt but that lasted just one week. On my second try even before starting I bought a blender some seeds,nuts,peanut butter etc etc. That played a major role for me. Smoothies would just give me that little extra kick during the day,and since then I'm hooked.


Cheers

I use a soy based protein powder (spiru-tein) often which contains Stevia with almond milk and i like to add a few radishes, some carrot and frozen or fresh fruit like mango, banana or berries.
If you don't like stevia, i always think that smoothies need a bit of sweetening with agave syrup or honey.
Ground, Flax seeds are good, but you want it to be very fresh, as the ground seeds have a short shelf life.
Happy Blending!

Any way you go about it, use lots of spinach, kale, or your favorite green, leafy choice. This is the most essential part of any recipe.

I used to do spinach or kale with one whole cucumber, a bit of aloe vera juice.

and your favorite fruits to flavor.

Sad to say, but it got too expensive for me doing these juicings 3-4 times a week.

You can make your own V8 juice without all the salt.

A Real V8 Juice Recipe This makes enough for 2 glasses of juice or one large glass (16 ounces) INGREDIENTS 5 tomatoes 1 beet (greens optional, but I left them out), cut in wedges 4 long carrots 1 bunch of spinach, equal to 2 cups 5 celery stalks 1 small bunch of parsley, about ¼ cup METHOD Prepare the tomatoes and beet by cutting them in wedges. Cut the carrots and celery into 3-inch pieces. Juice the tomatoes, beet, spinach, celery, carrots and parsley, alternating. Mix to combine. Serve immediately.

A personal favorite I have flavor wise is apple and ginger with crushed ice.

My very simple go-to smoothie:

Almond milk
Banana
Strawberry
Kale

Enjoy

ETA:

If your drinking a smoothie as a meal supplement, just follow this basic formula and mix and match whatever you want. Half the fun of smoothies is exploring new recipes.

Almond/soy milk
Some type of protein(nuts,seeds,peanut butter, etc)
greens and fruits of any kind
Optional: rolled oats or some other type of dry carbs.

Enjoy

I was thinking of going vegetarian for a month, but I have a serious question about it.

Is it possible to turn vegan or vegetarian without turning into a self righteous asshole?

Yes, it is possible.

Yes, of course it is. Same with any choice that may bring some ego issues with people. Become educated on the subject also realize not everyone will agree with your choice. Don't buy the hype that it happens to everyone as it creates more division.
