To refresh, since January 1, we have been trying to have smoothies “mostly” for dinner. We eat either a granola bar or granola with milk or yogurt for breakfast, salads for lunch and a hearty (pun intended) smoothie for dinner. Here is a round-up of what we have tried so far.
Please note it is impossible for me to take a picture of a smoothie that is either good or appetizing looking. Also please note that these were much more appetizing than my previous smoothie post. In fact, almost all of these could be made for dessert.
Kale-Ginger Smoothie (from Julia at The Roasted Root via Oh My Veggies) is delicious.
Chocolate-Avocado Smoothie (from Texanerin) is very nearly a dessert and actually reminds me of an avocado chocolate pudding that we make.
Apple Pie Smoothie (from Hummusapien) is another near dessert smoothie but it is really filling with one raw apple, oatmeal and flax seed.
So, I thought my picture was better for this apple pie smoothie but then I noticed how all the wrinkles showed up in my nearly dearly departed apple. (Be assured that these apples were Arkansas Blacks and they are still delicious and crisp inside.)
I obviously still need some smoothie picture taking tips! Please help!

Just a smoothie for the dinner? wow..I am impressed. I wish I am as disciplined as you.
The apple pie smoothie looks awesome, Debra.
Well, it’s not every night. 🙂
I’m jealous of your persistence and fortitude! The pictures are wonderful looking!
Thanks, Kelli.
I like your photos! Good for you, making it a dinner here and there. I could do with one for breakfast, especially in summer months.
I used to cut up bananas that were past the firmness for our liking, put them in baggies and freeze. Then you don’t need ice when you toss the frozen banana chunks in. Yum.
I like to do that too.
I’m proud of myself if I have a smoothie for lunch. The hubs would keel over if I announced a smoothie for dinner. Love that little verbiage tag for the apple.
Poor little apple bit it after the photo.
That’s awesome that you are showing such dedication to a healthier meal plan 🙂 This is such a great round up of smoothies, thanks for sharing Eliot 🙂
Thanks, Kelly. I think the ginger one may be my fave.
Koodoos to you for still be drinking those delicious smoothies for supper! It is getting warm enough here to start making them and the chocolate avocado smoothies really has caught my attention. Dessert, supper, breakfast – they all work!
Yep, that chocolate one is perfect for dessert.
You’ve been keeping up with this so well, very impressive! Sounds like you’ve had a wonderful variation of smoothies to keep you from getting bored 🙂
I would like to say that we are having one EVERY night. I would like to say that….
that apple pie smoothie looks great! 🙂
Thanks, guys.
