Help Me Study Smoothie
This smoothie will help you retain what you read and give you a quick pick-me-up. This smoothie is NOT for losing weight, it is for memory retention and cognitive support and is calorie heavy so don’t drink this every day. Think about blending this up with you have a study session or test the next day.
Help Me Study Smoothie Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup vanilla nonfat yogurt
- 3 tablespoons chocolate sauce
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon lecithin granules (why lecithin?)
Lecithin for the brain: When you digest lecithin granules, it is broken down into the nutrient choline before entering cell membranes. Choline is used to make acetylcholine, a nerve chemical essential for proper brain function. - 1 teaspoon flaxseed oil

Strawberry Peach Carrot Smoothie
Next time, I think I’d omit the yogurt in favor of a banana (not a big fan of yogurt’s tanginess in smoothies) and add an extra carrot for sweetness (this wasn’t unsweet, which is why I didn’t add agave nectar, but I figure an extra carrot for sweetness is still a sneaky way of getting more…carrot. Also, I know it seems odd that carrot adds more sweetness than the fruit, but it does).
Ingredients:
- 1 medium carrot (peeled)
- 1 fresh peach
- 6 or so frozen strawberries
- 1/2 container of vanilla nonfat greek yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon flax seed oil
Blend blend blend until somewhat runny (the frozen strawberries make this more like a frozen yogurt when first combined, needs a little more blending action to make it drinkable).

Strawberry Lemon Zing Smoothie Recipe
Okay, this smoothie may not be for everyone, but I was craving a taste of summer. It is 33 degrees today in the good old city of Richmond, VA and I’m feeling the strong desire for warmer weather. Lemonade stirs memories of warmer times so I felt strawberry smoothie with the zing of lemon was a good choice. Let me know if this smoothie made your day, cold or not.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups lemonade
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup strawberry yogurt
Pour all liquid ingredients into the blender. Add all frozen ingredients. Blend at MIX setting for 30 seconds then blend at SMOOTH setting until smooth. While the machine is running, move the stir stick around counter-clockwise to aid mixing. Serve immediately. Each recipe serves 2, in my opinion, your serving sizes may vary. ;-)
Dan’s Breakfast Smoothie
One of my clients knows I own a smoothie site, so he offered me the recipe for his breakfast smoothie. Dan knows what he is talking about when it comes to health and weight loss. He lost 80 lbs. Here is his story.
Ingredients:
- 3 scoops natural chocolate whey protein powder
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 4 tbsp. Psyllium husks – Buy Psylium
- 8 ice cubes
- 1/8 tsp. stevia
- 2 cups filtered water
High in protein and relatively low in calories. And it has to be to help Dan fun his successful business selling his cost estimation software products.
Blueberry Plus Smoothie
Here is a wonderful smoothie packed with fruity goodness. It all starts with the simple blueberry.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 1.5 cups orange juice
- 1.5 cup skim milk
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup frozen peaches
Put everything in the mixer. Blend. Drink. Serves 4 or so.
A pinch of salt will help bring out more flavor, but I usually avoid it. If you think the drink is still too sour (and it will have a bit of a tang to it) you can add honey or even sugar, but you really shouldn’t need to.
Using frozen fruit means you don’t have to use ice which waters down the drink.
