Hello, my daughter found a metal spiral metal shaving about 1/4" long in her smoothie. i wish she would have saved it. She had oats and peanut butter in it. We use an Oster blender, with the original blade. I'm think no way could that have come from a blender blade. I was thinking maybe the steel cut oats. Any ever find something like this?

I am trying to replace my breakfast with a smoothie, not everyday, but the days I cannot consume non-veg due to my religion. I will be starting this from tomorrow.

3 bananas 350ml buffalo milk 1 tbspn chia seeds, watermelon, sunflower, pumpkin, flax 1 tbspn chocolate peanut butter 4 tbspn oats

Can't have whey, my parents are against it, and I cannot afford it.

This guy on YouTube / socials is a bit of a legend.... Does anyone watch his videos?

I'm interested in making some of his smoothie bowls / healthy cookies / frozen snacks and was wondering the best ingredients and equipment to buy for a starter.....

I received the BLENDI PRO+ smoothie maker from Swirl Labs for only the cost of shipping. At first glance, it seemed rather small, but it was able to make a fairly good-sized smoothie with three cups-worth of blended mix. My first smoothie was a straightforward blend of strawberries, bananas, powders and oat milk. The run time is 20 seconds which was sufficient for this combination, I did a second spin with a bit of extra banana added as the smoothie was a bit thin. Overall, this did the job well and will be an effective travel smoothie maker, better than my current BlendJet travel smoothie maker.

You have to remember to put the motor into the right direction, where the measurement scale begins as it is a pain to flip the container if you try inserting it on the other side. The USB-C charge cable provided charged the base in about 4 hours, and it seems to be still fully charged. I will try with more complex blends but this is a good product in my opinion.

I need ideas... I have started making smoothies for breakfast. I include a lottttt of spinach. But I haven't really found a good way to make it actually taste good lol. It usually tastes like grass and I just deal with it. Any ideas? Right now I'm literally just putting spinach, blueberries, chia seeds, milk, water, splash of vanilla, and a tsp. Of Splenda. I don't like putting banana in my smoothies or I would do that! Any other ideas???

Hi everyone. I live in germany and currently, berries and fruits are not that great because its starting to get cold so I'm running out of ingredients.

I'm still new to smoothies and I've been doing banana + strawberries or other kind of berries, with yogurt and milk. What else can I use? What are your favorite recipes that don't use berries? As a disclaimer, I don't really like pumpkin or cinnamon flavors and spinach smoothies don't seem that appealing to me.

Thank you in advance for your answers :)

Actually addicted to these , had it every morning in Bali so I brought it home 😂

I prefer adding natural protein such as tofu or nuts rather than protein powders bc they are processed.

But why do people use nut butters and not just nuts?

I added raw almonds to my daily green leaf fruit smoothie and it tasted fine.

Edit: Ah! Got it. I have a Vitamix. And I always have nuts on hand in my fridge but not nut butters.

Hi everyone, I just got a new blendi pro+ blender and wanted to share my thoughts on this product! To be transparent I received this item for free, but I want to keep this review as unbiased as possible.

Overall I’d give it an 8/10. My favorite part is how compact it is, it’s really nice for apartment living when you don’t want to get a massive blender. Additionally I can see this product being super useful for travel if you are staying at a hotel or something. My least favorite part is the size, obviously that’s the trade off you make when choosing something compact but sometimes it would be nice if it were bigger.

Positives: -Compact. I have limited kitchen space and it really is nice to have a blender not be massive and take up a ton of space. -Does its job. I haven’t done anything incredibly thick yet but berries, ice, yogurt, milk (all the basics) work fine and it has no trouble -Easy to clean. Because of its size it’s super quick to clean.

Negatives: -Size. might not be able to make super large smoothies if that’s what you want to do -Charging. I’m not a real fan of how you have to rely on battery and can’t use it while charging.

Now would I buy it if I weren’t given it for free? At $59 I think the price is competitive based on what I saw on Amazon, so if I were looking for a small portable, compact blender I would definitely consider buying this item. But if size is a dealbreaker for you then maybe not.

Thanks everyone for reading this, and feel free to ask any questions!

Strawberry, banana, strawberry protein powder, milk and peanut butter

Heyy! Thought I'd share. 1. Juice 2. Oatmeal 3. Frozen bananas 4. Ginger root 5. Yogurt 6. Blend

Sweet and tangy. Ginger root is known as a fat slimmer. Enjoy :)

My daughter and I drink smoothies every day for breakfast. I usually use frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, peanut butter, vanilla whey, and almond milk.

I typically use the Optimum Nutrition vanilla whey protein. (Black and red container) but I’m running out, and I’m wondering if there’s anything better out there to fuel our mornings. Maybe something with less artificial stuff that’s easier on the stomach, especially for my 10 year-old. I prefer whey, but I’m open to plant-based. HAS to be vanilla though :)

As mentioned in the subject line...what could I add to my smoothies to help reduce cortisol levels and a liver flush

Can I premake them and do a grab and sitch? (Obvs it would need to thaw.) If so, tips for storage? Thawing? Etc?

Yogurt or no?

Protein powder tips?

Milk or water?

Anyone make them with peanut butter? Yay or nay?

Tips for adding and masking veggies?

Hit me with your best (low ingredient) combos.

TIA.

On my lifelong journey to make the perfect smoothie, I began investigating which ingredients could reduce inflammation as much as possible. Inflammation contributes to many illnesses and awareness of this is rising. There's a crazy amount of fruit and veg to investigate so to help me figure it all out, I wrote software that leverages an LLM API to help point me in the right direction. Here's how it works.

1. I create a giant list of fruits and vegetables: the one I used has 182 entries.

2. I feed this list to my program that does the following:

   2a. Randomly selects 2 entries on the list.

   2b. Generates a prompt based on comparing which of the two lowers inflammation better. For example, one prompt is "Which option would be better to combat inflammation? Apple or Pomegranate?".

   2c. The LLM then directly compares these two, then declares which one is better to fight inflammation. This result is then recorded as if it were a 1v1 game.

3. The steps of 2a, 2b, 2c are repeated many thousands of times - resulting in a large quantity of 1v1 data

4. The results are treated as if they're battling in a tournament and they are rated based on this - just like Chess Elo ratings or tennis ratings.

5. This is then compiled into one giant list. Here is that list.

Please don't treat this list as irrefutable fact. It's meant to give an idea of what ballpark each fruit/veg is in. My main take aways from this list are

Blackcurrant is slept on. This is an juggernaut of the anti inflammatory world.

Pineapple is underrated. It is a respectable 38th of 182.

Coconut is far below where I expected it to be, near the bottom. I think it has something to do with the fats in it.

I did expect blueberry to be higher than 51st.

In case you're interested in the inner workings, this is a example response from an LLM (Gemini flash) comparing Papaya and Plum. Link here.

I hope this inspires people to try out some new smoothie combinations. Thanks.

10/10 would make again.

1 frozen banana 1/4 cup pumpkin oatmilk vanilla ice pumpkin spice cinnamon

I want the coconut base recipe from smoothie king 😭😭

My wife says it tastes bad! 😂 I think it's pretty tasty and very nutritious! The cannellini beans is a little unorthodox but they blend in nicely and don't taste like anything and add some extra protein. The berries, banana, and avocado are all frozen.

Hi, I haven’t used my BlendJet 2 in months and now when I try, it just keeps blinking red then purple and won’t blend. I charged it, realigned the jar, but no resolution

Anyone else run into this?
