Eating Out at Home - Smoothies!

I have been on a smoothie kick lately. It all started with the fact that I am awful about not eating breakfast, so smoothies seemed like a good idea. I also thought they would be good for the kiddos. Here are a few of our faves from the ones we've tried, as well as some I intend to try. Bottoms up!

These we have taste tested:
The Elvis Smoothie - In my opinion this is more milk shake than smoothie, but it's still yummy!

Orange Julius Smoothie - This was not what I had in mind when I started trying smoothie recipes, but I like it a lot. Not the greatest thing nutritionally, but a great treat.

Blueberry Blast Breakfast Smoothie - Oh my, this is good! A great way to start your morning!

Banana Oatmeal Smoothie - This was really good and filling.

Breakfast Smoothie Quickie - This was a huge hit with the kids!

These are on my to try list:

Best Breakfast Smoothie - Don't laugh, but I've never had tofu and I have this mental thing thinking I won't like it. Real grown up, right? Anyway, I am going to suck it up and try this one soon.

Alien Gut Smoothie - I really want to try this one, especially for Tristen. I am not so sure that I'll be able to find all the ingredients here in Podunk, but I plan to look the next time I go into Stephenville to HEB. I think it sounds yum! The title alone will get him to drink it! I also love the blog I discovered when I found the recipe, A Battle Worth Fighting. If you have an ADD/ADHD child it's a great read!

Finally, I want to try one of the green smoothies like those listed here. The problem is, if the kids see me make them, they will not drink them. So, I am having to be creative on this one. I may just start by adding some purple puree to one of the smoothie recipes above.

I'd love to hear what ya'll put in your smoothies! These are something I can see myself getting really creative with.
