      All of the smoothies sound appealing, definitely a few I want to try, sound yum.

      Miramarmari 1 Mar 2020 12:55 PM

      I need to make some of these more often

      Miramarmari 1 Mar 2020 12:54 PM

      Omg yum!

      Jessica Alba's is the closest it comes to putting the required amount of greens in. A lot of these are fruit smoothies with added greens as an afterthought!

      You can reduce the fruit content and they will still taste delicious!

      Coles has got a green smoothie frozen pack that is handy in the morning

      I have some green powder but I dont put it in smoothies anymore, I drink them separately as the taste is just so strong

      Shop A Everyday 3 Jan 2018 12:38 AM

      All look so good, i seem to be seriously addicted to banana smoothies

      SuziEllie 16 Nov 2017 3:17 PM

      Thank you all for these Tasty recipes. Now which one first.

      joannachiem 4 Nov 2017 3:41 PM

      love all but the kale

      CaitMay 5 Jul 2017 3:40 PM

      I liked the other ones too but I would leave out the coconut water. Besides the fact that I'm just not a huge coconut fan the saturated fats and high sugar content offset many of the benefits of drinking it in the first place. Would also save money by adding regular water or ice if it needed extra liquid.

      CaitMay 5 Jul 2017 3:30 PM

      Could make a mix of the first smoothie and the last one with an addition of chai seeds. That would be good.

      Nice. Tried the Blackmores green smoothie from a special event they held. Love the visuals in this article too.

      blackkittykat 14 Mar 2017 9:11 PM

      Yum! These sound so delicious!

      Yohanna 14 Mar 2017 3:34 PM

      Just decided to make smoothie this morning....placed some superb aussie walnuts in, then looked around what else to throw in....then added some chia, then fresh black Iranian dates....then I thought....naaaaaaaaa, if I throw anything fruity of green, it will ruin it, and threw in coconut water and raw cacao nibs (huge handful). So yup, ended up getting thick chocolate 'drink' =D

      I love smoothies, green smoothies too, in the morning I like to start my day with a very easy smoothie/ drink made of water, ice cubes, whole lemon or lime ( skin too), a spoon of honey and a big bunch of parsley. It is yum and so healthy.

      Loving the goodness me box blog for recipes

      I have been doing smoothies and juicing as my nutritionist said it absorbs a lot better in liquid form than actually eating it whole

      Chicklet 17 Mar 2017 1:40 PM

      That's interesting to know. I have wondered whether it is just better to eat the ingredients whole or blended into a smoothie.

      Love the sounds of Jamie's one!

      Edit: just made it and drank it - amazing! I also put some frozen chunks of mango in it and a whole apple and topped it with lots of ice. Gave half to hubby and we both loved it. Will be doing this again - great for a hot day like right now - 41.5 degreees.

      I have a nutribullet now so will give some of these a go

      Nice cool breakfasts for summer

      Ellie585 18 Nov 2016 6:57 PM

      I have started making more smoothies not only for myself but for my family

      Chicklet 12 Nov 2016 10:17 PM

      I've gone a bit off green smoothies lately but some of these sound delicious!

      Simonja 2 Oct 2016 10:20 PM

      Yummmm I just made Jamie Olivers Smoothie as I had all the ingredients here. However, I didn't have a frozen banana so I used a fresh one from the fridge and added a couple of ice cubes! Perfectly delicious!
