I’m going to try the post-workout smoothie with kale it sounds so good! I usually make mine with spinach but haven’t had the guts to try kale yet😀

Have no fear, you can’t taste it at all in this recipe! I’m going to make True Food’s famous Kale Salad some time this week, it’s a great recipe to get anyone loving kale – even kids! I’ll post it asap🙂
Thanks for these – I am trying it next week!!!!!! I also shared on the Femme Fitale Fit Club public Facebook page. YUM!
These all look great! One of these days when I have time for a pre workout (um, a workout in general) I will definitely make one of these. Well, I might make one anyway since carrying around my 15 month old is sorta like a workout🙂
That is DEFINITELY a workout! I had no idea how much running around was involved until I took care of a friend’s 16 month old last weekend!
Lots of love and respect for you and all the mamas out there🙂
Kale is great in smoothies as long as it is pulverized!! 🙂. Your recipes look delish. Every now and then when I have a very ripe pear l’ll chop it and mix it with raspberries and almond milk.
Brilliant, love them all!
love smoothies and all sound good!
I made #1 Pre Workout Smoothie this morning….Very Yummy, quick & easy to make! Hopefully it will provide me with the energy I need to make it through my Zumba class🙂. Thank you!!
How much orange juice for the first pre workout smoothie?? 1 cup or less?
Hi Lisa, thanks for your comment. I just eyeball the amount of juice, but I would say it is roughly 1/2 cup. Hope this helps!🙂
Thanks for all these great recipes… I love smoothies!🙂
What are chia seeds & where can i get them?
Hi Krysten – thanks for your comment! Chia seeds are these tiny seeds that provide a huge dose of omega three fats and fiber. You can find them in the bulk section at whole foods or any health food store. I hope this helps🙂
I’ve got to get into chia seeds. I KEEP reading about them! These recipes sound brilliant – I’ll give a couple a go this weekend. Thanks for following! x
You can save a ton of money if you buy them in bulk at a health food store🙂 I know Whole Foods has them…
I’ve never tried chia seeds, I think I will! And I LOVE peanut butter in a smoothie. I get lazy because there is a great organic smoothie place across the street from me here in NY. Only lived here a year and I am already so spoiled! This is inspiring me to make some though. Thanks!
I am a smoothie girl too thank you for the recipes. I tend to have mine after yoga, rather than before…
For me, it depends on the day! Thanks for your comment🙂
Do you literally mean TWO kale leaves? Or two CUPS of kale leaves?
I meant 2 kale leaves. I was using Dinosaur Kale so the leaves are rather large. By all means add more kale to it if you want to do that!🙂
Can I have one smoothie before and one after or is it either or? I’m having the worst time trying to lose weight. Perhaps I’m over doing smoothies? Is that possible?
It could be possible… it may be possible that there is too much fruit or sugar in the smoothies. Have you tried juicing? Personally for me, if I do a pre-workout smoothie, I will have a green juice (made with mostly vegetables) after my workout. If I do a juice before my workout then I will have a protein packed smoothie afterward to help with recovery. All bodies are different though – and our workout regimen may be very different from one another. I practice astanga yoga at least 6 times a week, so I need to consume something before and after my practice. I hope this helps🙂
I love peanut butter and bananas in my smoothies too! I usually only get to enjoy them on a Sunday after a long run or walk though because I don’t have time to make them after a morning run and before work. I’ll have to try making them the night before perhaps..
Thanks for the great smoothie ideas!

thanks for the smoothy ideas. I imagine you can add more greens to any one of these to increase the vegetable content.
