Milkshake/Smoothie Suggestions

Chocolate cake milkshake = Awesome. and not just cos it rhymes.

What the hell.You actually mix the chocolate cake in it????

i have leftover chocolate cake but no blender :(

dippin dots + margarita fixins

blackberries, raspberries, black cherries. You can get 'em all in one bag at Trader Joe's.

cherries? but then you have to get the stone out first. :-(

No, they're pitted! It's a thing of beauty. I made popsicles out of them.

hold on, you put cherries (with pits) in the mixer? or does pitted mean the pit is OUT?

hash+shrooms+malt liquer+prozac

yup. just throw it all in. unorthodox granted. never be afraid of adding soft solids to a milkshake.

does pitted mean the pit is OUT?

yes, miss lincolnshire, that's what it means

man now i really want a choc cake shake from Portillo's

"Miss Lincolnshire"?

What the hell.You actually mix the chocolate cake in it????

We used to do this in my food service days for special customers etc, mainly when we had surplus chocolate cake. It worked wonders - not so much for chocolateyness as for texture. That crumblyness was just heavenly.

Thanks to this thread I just made a smoothie out of literally every one of the many fruits and vegetables in my kitchen, plus peanut butter and milk. I drank the whole pitcher, but I will never smile again. :(

I think the bad choices in the mix were cucumbers and grapefruit.

that sounds like a vomit-inducing combo.

nick, i'm convinced your chocolate cake milkshake could be the best thing ever invented. i'm making one tonight.

anything grape juice-related is a surefire smoothie-killer i've noticed. I bet grapefruit could fit in somewhere but you'd have to be artful about it.

orange juice, strawberries, peaches, vanilla frozen yogurt

I made a simple strawberry-banana-OJ smoothie last night, and I think it's the best of the three I've made since acquiring a blender recently. You just can't fuck with that combination.

frozen red berries and plain yoghurt mixes into a nice fuity ice thingy.

frozen raspberries, dollop of ovaltine, milk + bannana

cloud 9 with this shit here

whole yogurt and banana as a base - add fresh fruit or whatever

diced buttered toast + ice cubes + some pancake batter = daaaaaaaaaaaaaaag breakfast afterglow

nahh i'm lyin

I read that 4 times before scrolling down and being duly relieved.

haha

what's in shamrock shake?

pro tip, put some bashed up cardamon into fruit smoothies.

Stevie it is a vanilla milkshake with mint flavoring that only some macdonalds do around st Patrick's day. They have sort of a cult following and are amazing if u like mint ice cream.

In Brooklyn at a place called Saint Alps there is the most amazing milkshake thing called a double chocolate sorbies. So great.

i usually go for one of these:

coconut milk (or almond milk)
OJ
a handful of kale (or spinach, if no kale is available)
baby carrots
one or two bananas
spoonful of almond butter
couple scoops of ground flaxseed
couple scoops of protein powder
frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries)

I used to blend lime juice and strawberries when I had a cold. Didn't do a thing for my symptoms, but it was a pleasant way to spend an evening in.

just made a shamrock shake. so easy and delicious!

shamrocks, milk...right?

I realized this too (shamrock shake) when I got my blender for xmas. You can make a healthier version with yogurt, you can put soy milk in it. All you have to do is get mint at the store. Also I use soy shake powder a lot and flavor it with syrup or fruit. I add a bit of peanut butter for texture and protein.

I used to be so lazy about the blender but then I realized it is cleaner and easier than making an omelette in the morning.

Holy crap @ the incredible-sounding first 2 suggestions itt. Came here to rave abt a smoothie I made last week. Best smoothie ever imo. Subbed fzn mango and mixed berries 4 straight blues recipe calls for. And subbed hemp milk for coconut milk and c'nut water. It had such a lovely consistency and flavor! https://www.rebootwithjoe.com/cacao-blueberry-smoothie/

oddly appropriate revive timing - out of nowhere i have been making smoothies the last 3 days in a row, for the first time in years!

my recipe is lame but tasty. i am trying to put on some pounds so that some of the dumbest people in society can consider promoting me to full-fledged adult status, so i've been going with

¾ cup plain yogurt
5 large frozen strawberries
2 tbsp organic peanut butter
2 tbsp full fat milk
WHEY PROTEIN POWDER FOR FITNESS TUFFS
1/4 cup blackberries

i've been fuckin w/this for the past couple weeks

1 cup almond milk
2 big handfuls spinach
1 tsp chia seed
1 tsp hemp seed
1 scoop protein powder
1 tbsp almond butter
1 banana, broken up

blend till smooth; add 7-8 ice cubes and blend till cold.

My breakfast lately has been a thermos of the following, which I call "Banana Nut Coffee Cake"

1 cup strong coffee
ice cubes
2 scoops vegetable protein powder (I switched to this from whey because whey made my BO stink)
1 banana
1 handful unsalted mixed nuts
a lot of

Sometimes I alternate that with

1 cup strong coffee
ice cubes
2 scoops veg protein powder
2 heaping tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder
agave nectar
1/2 cup plain yogurt

Basically we’re all huffing protein powder in the back alley

Was gonna ask abt that. Satiety?

my hangover go-to:

a cup of soy milk
two scoops of frozen yoghurt
honey
two spoons of chocolate powder
three bananas
half a cup of ice (for texture)

as a general rule if you substitute soy milk for regular milk and use more than the recipe suggests then you'll always win

went from never makin a smoothie myself to making one every day for breakfast:

almond milk + ice
touch of honey
peanut butter
banana
oats (still have a bunch on hand cause prior go-to breakfast was oatmeal + applesauce) or whey powder
sometimes cocoa powder + lil bit of cinnamon but actually prefer the more banana-y version without them

honestly i would make smoothies more frequently if my little blender was easier to clean. also if someone would go to the store and pick up the ingredients for me regularly. i guess i could take on the task of adding the ingredients to the blender and making the magic happen, if pushed, 4-5 times a week

If you're using protein there's a "ONE NEAT TRICK" you can do with frozen berries that somehow interacts with the protein and the chopping motion of a blender to form a kind of whipped dessert. Look up "protein fluff"

I don't know if it matters that it is a milk-derived protein or not.
