robert Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I normally go with a chocolate theme or even more commonly a fruit theme with my smoothies. Tonight I was motivated to "throw everything in there" So I put in: Chocolate VegaVitamineral Green powderNew GreensL-GlutamineCreatineRice milkWaterFrozen fruitBanana It is brown/purple in color and tastes mostly green. But it is packed full of protein, essential fats, antioxidants, recovery amino acids, vitamins, minerals, etc. Now I gotta go drink it! Yams are on and maybe some fieldroast wheat protein will be made and Jay Cutler's video is about to go on Yeah buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xveganjoshx Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Cool! Be careful of the simple sugars though, and the huge serving sizes, as they tend to promote fat retention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Being fat is a lifelong goal of mine. Someday I'll achieve it. That smoothie was totally sick, probably the worst tasting one I've had in years. But it's in me now. I'm really focusing more on drinking foods (fruit, powders, etc.). It allows me to get more fluids in during the day, more protein and overall calories and quick nutrition that will be quickly absorbed and used. I'm also pumped on carbs. I went out and got more yams, Yukon Gold potatoes, and I have rice and oats. Things should be good as I get more focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I don't think rob has to worry about simple sugars. Nothing wrong with a banana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 It doesn't sound too gross, frome time to time I put everything I can find in the kitchen in the blender. most of the time it tastes surprisingly well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 I know. I looked at it and it didn't look too bad, but I put tons of grass powders in there, along with the choc and fruit like berries, it just didn't come out well at all. I made some amazing smoothies last week, and Josh made better ones, but this one sucked. I slept for 8 hours last night and let those ingredients soak it up inside me Now I'm off to the gym and I'll make another smoothie when I get home. I ate a huge breakfast of solid foods (thanks to mishe). Fruit smoothies are my favorites by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 pouring coconut milk in the smoothie mostly rescues the nice taste have fun at the gym! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hey Lelle, I drive to Nuernberg now and then to visit friends. Where do you reside in N.? Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeVegan Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 some fieldroast wheat protein will be made and Jay Cutler's video is about to go on I almost bought one of those fieldroasts today, but decided to pass. Now I wish I would have got it because it sounds damn good, and I'm hungry!!! -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odidnetne Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I would just use some soymilk instead of rice milk and water, I think that might've helped. Fruit smoothies are the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Dude, I've got it down pat now. Is that the term, "down pat?" Anyway, I make a huge, beautiful pink/red colored fruit smoothie twice a day that looks like this (each one is about 20 ounces, so 1/3 of a gallon total smoothie liquid goodness throughout the day). Orange Juice2 BananasFrozen raspberries, blackberries, blueberries (sometimes mango and strawberry)3-4 scoops Vega Smoothie Infusion5-10g Glutamine5g CreatineOccasionally post-workout powder mixed in too like Cytomax (pre/post workout drink) Good stuff!
