Wake-Up Smoothie

Very good smoothie to start the day with. I used frozen strawberries that I let thaw a biit, yogurt instead of tofu and about half the sugar. Added everything to my VitaMix and gave it a whirl. Great tasting and like that it is such a versatile recipe. Made and reviewed for the Alphabet Recipe Tag Game.

Such a great recipe! I loved it just the way it is, though have tweaked a bit here and there occasionally. First, I never use sugar of any sort in almost any recipes. I raise bees and only use fresh, organic honey in recipes. Also, depending on my energy level that morning, I may add a bit of kale or spinach for a bit more energy. Also, the only reason that this recipe doesn't have 5 stars, respectively, is because there are two or three reviews who gave it a 1 star rating for the worst reasons: Case #1: "Breakfast smoothie is not good for diabetics too many carbs and sugar in Orange juice and berries." - if you are a HEALTHY diabetic and take care of what you put into your body, then you know what you can and cannot eat. There are hundreds of thousand of diabetes-friendly recipes on the internet that you can try. If you come across one that doesn't work...and DOES NOT CLAIM TO BE DIABETES-FRIENDLY, then just pass on it to another recipe. Don't go off on a tyrant of how unhealthy it is for someone with diabetes. Case #2: " Don't use Soy or Splenda Soy is GMO, very dangerous to your health, as is Splenda, which is a neurotoxin. Better to use one date, honey or Stevia as a sweetener. Omit soy; use banana, or chia seeds as thickener. Pros: Soy & Soy products are detrimental to health. Spenda is aneurotoxin Cons: Berries are healthy"  Though I agree with you on the soy and the splenda, there is no need to be a jerk about the fact that they added it on the recipe. But the ki

It's great but I don't agree with the calories. Berries are at least 100 and so is banana.

Delicious!I made this the night before work for my partner and I. I doubled the ingredients and got 2x 500mL cups and 1x 300mL. I had the 300mL this morning and feel satisfied and awake. It is a great way to start the day! I will be making again! Instead of tofu I put in Symbio yoghurt and I left out the sugarPros: Taste, Very filling, Great start to the day

Nice refreshing,fruity taste. I did everything but add the sugar orange juice has enough sugar in it. Pros: easy,healthy, tasty. Cons: didn't like the seeds of the fruit.

What kind of orange juice should i use? freshly squeezed or are juices like tropicana ok?

Delicious I have made this recipe quite a few times,except I don't add sugar. If I do,I add honey,but I don't think it needs any sweetener,it is sweet enough. This morning I used 1 cup orange juice,1 cup mixed berries,1/2 cup mango yogurt,and 1 banana. It is so easy to blend,and it makes enough so I can have some tomorrow.

Oh so delicious! I thought this was sooo good! I used vanilla flavored Activia yogurt and one packet of Splenda and kept all the rest of the ingredients the same. However, next time I will leave out the Splenda. It doesn't need it at all. I felt energized and very full after one serving! What a great way to start my day.

This smoothie is quite tasty. I didn't add any sugar but did add a bit of toasted wheat germ. Sweetness was perfect for my taste, but the kids thought it was a bit tart. Either way we all loved it and have made a few times.q

Now this smoothie is much better than the citrus one with 77g of carbs. I personally use Greek yogurt because of the higher protein content that balances the carb to protein ratio. I also put one scoop or half a package of Advocare's chocolate or vanilla muscle gain shake to make full of nutrition. It makes a great pre-workout or post-workout shake. I drink about an hour before or within an hour after I work out and it gives me the nutrition I need for my sweat session.

This sounds like a delicious smoothie will try!

I have been making this recipe for myself and my kids minus the added sweetner and with nonfat yogurt. I also add in fresh spinach which adds more nutrients and my kids can't even taste the difference. Also, mix it up with 100% juice cranberry or pineapple juice for variety.

I love this smoothie! I did not add any sugar or sweetner and I thought it was plenty sweet. To make sure I didn't go over on the serving size I poured my smoothie equally into 3 seperate glasses and covered 2 for tomorrow and the next day. I hope they taste just as good!

This is a 2 serving smoothie. I make versions of this for breakfast rotating between blueberries and strawberries, orange juice and plain low fat soymilk and yoghurt and tofu. I prefer yoghurt and soy milk over orange juice and tofu. I top it off with a tablespoon of sliced almonds

Easy, delicious, and low calorie. Perfect.
