Great choices! I have to make meal shakes for my dad because he's 92 and bed-bound. He has two smoothies per day. I add water and almond milk and a bit of pineapple orange juice. I switched up the fruits and vegetables and always I'm sure to put in flax seeds, hemp seeds and chia seeds in every smoothie as well as either vegan meal powder or vegan protein powder and everything that goes into the smoothie is organic.❤
Awesome! Smoothies are so versatile, which is one of the main reasons they're so good! Love those add-ins you mentioned :) Thanks for watching!

Love your videos - very informative! Will you be filming more cooking videos in the future?
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! I just posted a new video today :) hope you'll enjoy!
@@toastyapron Thank you! Can't wait to watch it… 🙂
It's 2:30 am where I live. My mouth is watering.
Haha amazing! Thanks for watching!
I was wondering ,what would the carbs be in a cup of these smoothies.Iam diabetic,but I would love to drink these smoothies.I like all the flavours and also like the over night oats to.Thank you for the great recipes.
Hi there! Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to calculate the carb breakdowns for each of these smoothies, but I'll try to include them in future videos. Thanks for watching!
Healthy
Thanks for the beginners tips. I just got my blender and looking for simple and healthy smoothie. Will try the choco-banana first to be safe. 😂
Fantastic! Good luck and hope you enjoy the recipes - I hope the new blender works out well for you! Thanks for watching 🙂
What a great video. Im new into making smoothie. I got a lot of whey protein powder. can it be used also?
Thanks so much for watching! Yes whey protein powder can definitely be used as well - in fact, since it typically already contains sweetener, you can use it as a substitute for maple syrup and reduce the sugar content in the process (with the benefit of extra protein)! It's a great choice :)
@@toastyapron thank you. Now i can have a smoothie after or before work out with whey protein
I really like your channel its already so professional, almost like its not real😮.
Are you a one person brand? Or are you working with a company?
Wow thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm a one person brand doing this on my own, so your support means a lot to me :) I really appreciate it!
Can you make a dedicated video on flax seed recipes
Thanks for the suggestion! I can definitely keep it in mind for a future video!
I make smoothie with seasoning fruits with a flavored milk powder with Oats. 😊❤🇯🇲
Amazing! It's great that it's so customizable, for sure!
These looks delicious. As a newbie. I was wondering, do you strain your smoothies after making them? Or straight into the glass after blending ?
I throw them straight into the glass after blending! They taste perfect to me :)
What type of blender are you using?
Hi there! I am using a Vitamix Ascent A3500 - I've included product links in the video description if you'd like to check it out (amzn.to/42siXiJ), as well as a more budget-friendly option that I use and recommend as well! Hope that helps!
What kind of protein powder do you recommend?
I try to stay away from any that have more than 20grams of carbs. Thank you 💜
Hi there! I typically use vanilla natural whey isolate protein, I like it for its clean nutritional profile! I like brands such as ON, which is one of the better tasting brands to me. Hope that helps!
@@toastyapron Thank you so much!💜
For someone using a bullet blender instead of a full sized one, how would you suggest changing the proportions?
Hi there! Great question. It would depend on the size of your bullet blender (mainly the size and capacity of the cup) as I've seen quite a variety of different sizes. I have a Nutrubullet that comes with a 24-oz cup, and I find that it generally works well for the quantities suggested. Again, depending on the ingredients you use - if you use some larger ingredients (like the large, bulky frozen spinach blocks that I use) and find you run out of room in the blender cup, you may just want to reduce everything by 1/4 or 1/3 to start. Hope that helps!
So good thx..what blender are you using ..
@patriciastaimee I use a Vitamix Ascend A3500. I've included a product link in the video description in case you'd like to check it out!
@toastyapron thank you very much.
Wow excellent brilliant shareing I sending my gift see in next keep growing up stay blessed stay connected have a nice day hope to see you around thank you
Thank you for watching!
Is there a way to suggest what meals person could eat to balance out the day in healthy ways?
That's a great suggestion for a future video! Thanks for sharing and I'm glad to hear there's interest in more healthy recipes. Generally, I like to stick to whole foods every meal - a typical meal for me has some source of protein (chicken breast, turkey, fish, etc.), a portion of carbs (brown rice, quinoa), and unlimited vegetables. I can definitely come up with more content in the future to offer more suggestions on how to achieve this, but I hope that helps for now!
Where do get the frozen spinach cubes? Because I'm looking a walmart and other places, and I'm not seeing them
I actually got mine from Walmart! Perhaps it may be a store-by-store (or regional) thing as far as availability goes? I'm in Canada, and they're called Great Value Natural Chopped Spinach Nuggets here :)
@@toastyapron Yeah I think Its a Canada thing because the us walmart website doesn't have it. That's weird that its not in the us. Thanks for letting me know though!
Drinking the apple kiwi right now. Oh so good! Planning on trying them all.
Hey there! I'm so happy to hear you loved it! And so healthy too. Thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of the smoothie-making!
Where do you find the spinach? What's the name brand?
Hi there! I get the frozen spinach from Walmart - it’s their Great Value in-house brand! Hope that helps!
Plz do some for weightloss
Water
@@Andy-gc5dh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a question ,am watching from Kenya, I went to shop for a blender and was told there some that cant take frozen stuff as it will mess it up so they said I need higher wattage how many watts is your blender?
Great question! My Vitamix blender (the one shown in the video) is 1500 watts, but I also have a small Nutribullet Pro that's 900 watts that works for frozen fruits/vegetables in smoothies as well. Hope that helps and hope you'll be able to find something that works for you!
That helps ,the one she recommended was from 800 watts, I remember from one of your videos you said we need to use a powerful blender, thanks now I can go shopping ajf make the smoothies and icecream
👍
I would like to see new videos on dates with milk 🥛
Used this formula for my own green smoothie and LOVED it! However, I found it generates a LOT of liquid - like 3/4 glasses. Way too much for one sitting. Anyone else found d this and what do you do? Fridge or freeze the remains?
Hi there! Typically each recipe makes about 2 large glasses - you can certainly refrigerate the remains if consumed within a short period of time, however it's best to freeze them. I like to pour them into ice cube trays - it makes them super convenient, easy and ready to blend whenever you feel like having a smoothie!
🌸🌼🌺🌼🌸🌺🌼🌸🌺
We're do you but the spinach chunks
Hi there! I buy them from Walmart!
What name of blender is that?
Hi there! It's the Vitamix A3500 - I've included a link in the video description in case you're interested :) Thanks for watching!
Hey! Are you okay? You haven't released any new videos. Let us know you are OK.
Hey there! I appreciate your concern! Yes I am okay :) it's been a very busy and chaotic last couple of months on my end, so unfortunately I haven't had a chance to work on new content lately. But I will be back with a new video very soon that I'm super excited about - stay tuned! And thanks for caring and for checking in :)
@toastyapron I know busy. I'm glad to hear you're okay. That's the mom in me. 😉
Have a wonderful day. ❤
@kathleenbrown1395 - you as well! And thank you again :)
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son so that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life” God loves you no matter what, never forget that!😊😊..
Where are you. Love you channel
Much thanks for the support! I'm still here! :)
How come frozen foods are healthy?
Great question! While not all frozen foods are created equal, and some are definitely packed full of preservatives and other unhealthy things, frozen fruits and vegetables are not one of those! In fact, research has shown that frozen fruits and vegetables can have just as many (and sometimes more) vitamins when compared to fresh. Plus, they offer the convenience of being able to eat out-of-season fruits, and preserving their shelf life in the freezer so you can enjoy them any time. You can also buy your own fresh fruits, and then freeze them yourself for the same benefit. Hope that helps!
Carmal mccafe my name is Heather ha
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
With all of those fruits, doesn't your smoothie have a lot of carbs??
I've heard repeatedly that watermelon,Canteloupe and another which slips me now are whole fruits and should be had by themselves. Are you aware of this information?🙄🇯🇲
Too many carbs!
No
Milk mixed with lemon? Yuck no way!
That’s a milk shake 😂
