Smoothies
I know I’ve posted smoothies a lot on this blog. I think for me, its such a great way to get more veggies/fruits in PLUS they taste so awesome!
I decided to enter my favorite smoothie into Calorie Count to see how many calories it is:
Ingredients
1/2 cup orange juice
3 big handfuls of fresh spinach
1/2 cup frozen mango
1 cup frozen mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries and blackberries!)
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
I love this combination because its sweet, but so good for you!
In order to figure out the calories in a meal you like on Calorie Count, just sign up (its free!) and under the FOOD tab at the top, scroll down to NEW RECIPE and start from there.
I’ve had a bag of frozen raspberries, strawberries and blueberries in my freezer now for the past 2 months. I keep wanting to make a smoothie, but it’s so cold here, all I want is something HOT to drink!
I have a smoothie every day… I am a banana man myself
I haven’t had smoothies in ages. It’s just so cold, but I know I would still love it!!
A great combo of ingredients in this smoothie, very yummy with mango!
I never thought to use OJ in a smoothie! Usually I just use milk or water. That sounds sooo good!
Calorie Count sounds great. I’ll have to figure out the stats on some of my recipes…
Your smoothie sounds good!
The spinach is an unexpected ingredient. So good for you, too. Popeye would approve, no doubt!
Spinach in smoothie surprised me….
I love that color – it looks delicious!
My smoothies are normally my morning protein shake with what ever freaking fruit I have floating around. I miss spring *cry*
