I've been making daily smoothies lately. I've never been a breakfast person and I take meds now that make me even less hungry, so being able to drink a real meal is a great boon to me. I'm going to document and rate my creations here, feel free to follow along or add your own of course. Smoothies are very easy, just throw your breakfast in the blender and drink it. Use frozen fruit, that's about all there is to it.

Today's smoothie:

Banana, Cantaloupe, and Strawberry


Add cooked oatmeal, plain yogurt, and some milk to thin it out.

Verdict:



Not bad, the cantaloupe was a little bland but all the flavors come through in the end and the flavors mesh well.

Pretty good. Banana could have been riper when I froze it and the pineapple flavor is a little hidden. Mango tastes good, a fine tropical mix

It's Monday, the worst day of the week. Or more accurately it's the day you have to go back to work. If you don't work, Mondays are just fine.

Banana, Peach, Blueberry, Spinach, Oatmeal, Yogurt, Milk

The peach and blueberry flavors destructively interfere or something, this one is kinda boring despite it's great color

I used to just use raw rolled oats but cooking a big batch once a week and using it from the fridge does make a smoother drink and it's only slightly less lazy.

Banana, pineapple, cherry, honeydew melon, spinach, oatmeal, yogurt, milk

This honeydew is downright tasteless. Thankfully it's a melon so I have a lot of it and get to use it for many days to come! The other fruits make it passable but it's a whole lot of nothing

Banana, Pineapple, Berries. The honeyglow pineapple is noticably more flavorful than whatever the typical cultivar is.

Not bad, not amazing. Perhaps too many berries, would consider omitting the strawberry. Better than any with honeydew still

Do you get bitterness with the pineapple and milk? My gf used to make a lot of smoothies, and she switched to almond milk because it got bitter as it sat and the bromelain broke down the casein.

Nope, I drink my smoothies immediately and haven't noticed any weirdness using pineapple. Sometimes I save some for the gf to drink the next day and she's never complained about it but I'll ask her to pay attention if I remember next time.

It's that time again. My gf used the last of the milk so I thinned today's smoothie with cold brew coffee.

Trying to get rid of this honeydew by disguising it with other, better fruits. Also out of bulk yogurt so using some raspberry and marionberry individual cups.

It's pretty good! The coffee flavor comes through and helps to cover up the blandness of the honeydew.

Banana, "daybreak blend" aka peach, pineapple, strawberry, mango. Last of the chia oat sludge, protein powder, and some Greek yogurt. Still out of milk so more cold brew to thin

Been doing smoothies a lot for breakfast the last several years and it has definitely helped me more consistently eat a good breakfast.

My default is: strawberries/blueberries/blackberries/raspberries (frozen mix), spinach (also frozen for shelf life/bulk buying), chia seeds (soaked overnight to soften), powdered collagen for my old joints, shelled hemp hearts, ground flax seeds, powdered peanut butter (easier to deal with), nonfat greek yogurt, water

sometimes I throw in whatever random vitamins my wife says I need

smoothies good!

The fruit does a little blender dance before it gets obliterated.

Banana, Costco daybreak blend, the last of some berry medley mix, last of my spinach, yogurt, new oats, protein and collagen. And of course milk

The collagen is a little gritty I think, I'm gonna try using less of it tomorrow. Almost like there's bonemeal or the grit from the stock when you use better than bullion. Flavor is fine but I brushed my teeth a little too soon before hand and I can't recommend that.
