does anyone have any good frozen shake or smoothie recipes for this (choc) or any other flavor?

I am obsessed with the chocolate greens and have been using them for years. I have a few favorites. In my nutribullet I out the greens water and banana with peanut butter. It's quite delicious. If you want it thicker, add more banana or less water. Coconut and almond milk work well also. Another favorite is the greens with pineapple. There is something about the combo that is delicious. Again, add more fruit or less liquid as desired. This only works really well in the nutribullet because it liquifies and pulverizes everything. An "amazing" blend indeed. Enjoy

I just add a frozen banana and 2 tbsp. PB2, I like my smoothies thick so I add ice also.

I don't follow any recipe but here are my basic ingredients and the amounts depend on whether for one or two. I start with some orange juice, 1/2 cup or so, 1/2 to 1 banana (ripe), small bunch of kale or spinach, then blueberries other options - frozen cherries, an apple, a carrot, then ice cubes, a splash of real maple syrup for sweet, maybe a few dried apricots, could substitute a cucumber or a carrot in other words you sneak in some vegies, use your imagination - experiment and don't forget a scoop of Amazing Meal. I use a Vita Mix. If the smoothy is too thick add water, juice or more ice. Have fun!

If your not too concerned about calories, blending almond milk, a banana, peanut or almond butter and some ice is really good!

I add a scoop of protein and have it before bed. Add little water and it becomes like pudding. :) Pop in fridge and if your protein is ISO 100 Fudge brownie it literally tastes like brownie batter with same consistency! I've also added to yogurt with blueberries and couldn't taste it.

I personally like the chocolate peanut butter- richer flavor. 2 teaspoons in my morning ViSalus shake with unsweetened almond milk- Delicious!!

I use this primarily for protein shakes in the morning, but decided to try a smoothie so I could answer this question. We first tried making "snow" with two ice cubes, it worked pretty well although it did leave two small ice cubes. Then we tried a smoothie (which we had no clue how to make), however I believe we learned that it can be done very well. We put frozen berries, almond milk and four ice cubes in the large container. The consistency was perfect with no ice chunks, but we really should have checked the cookbook that came with the Magic Bullet because our recipe tasted horrible. I have to say yes it does make smoothies (just don't try my recipe). I love the Magic Bullet and am glad we bought it.

I always drink it from a shaker bottle. I think it tastes best with just a bit of ice in the bottle, 1 scoop of powder and then milk. Its really yummy that way. I put some milk in before the powder though so it won't clump to the shaker ball in my "blender bottle"

I just put it in water to boil, then it cools down, and to the fridge. Tne next days I add two or three soup spoons to my morning shakes.. just add water, a fruit like mango, papaya, banana, pineapple. or strawberries, etc. and stevia. It has more calcium than milk, strenghten your bones and your health in general.

Not a good idea...when you make the smoothie, after a period of time there will be a separation of the heavy/light ingredients.you can probably remix with a very short mix again

Tastes pretty good in my opinion...like vanilla and whatever you mix it w/if anything. I'm usually in a hurry so just dump in a few organic frozen blueberries or whatever I have. I also plan on trying a new one I just found out about called SFH...check it out at www.SFH.com

The website for the ice cream maker has some recipes (www.nostalgicelectrics.com). I used the chocolate ice cream recipe. It was delicious!

Yes, I recall getting recipes in mine--though, I tossed it :) I'll bet if you ask Sunsella, they'll gladly email you a PDF of the recipes? If you don't ever look into it or they don't, let me know as I'm going to order more and will keep the next one and either can mail or email it to you :) *** update, after I sent the message here, I quickly googled to see if I could find the pdf online--YAY--I found a FIFTY-recipe link--you should download ASAP, in case: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sunsella/50-ice-pop-recipes.pdf

Smoothie is a great idea. I tried putting them into a "chocolate pudding." I liked it the first time, but the family didn't & have to admit it was a bit funky. I'd suggest including them in a home-baked healthy muffin, cookies, or hot cereal. Good Luck!

Hi Elizabeth, if I'm only going to have a smoothie as a meal, then I normally blend in lots of frozen fruits and mix with juice. At other times, I add vegetables. It's very filling.

There are no recipes for ice cream or sorbets on the directions in the package. you can make freezer jam, but you must add the pectin to boiling water and dissolve completely in a blender or food processor before adding to fruit. It might work for sorbet therefore, or for ice creams that are based on a cooked custard. You might try instant clear jel instead as it doesn't require heat to thicken. I haven't tried it myself, so I can't guarantee results. If it works please let us know-great idea!

For making smoothies, I usually include some yogurt, frozen or fresh fruit and sometimes a little protein powder. If you use frozen fruit, you need to put it in first, a little at a time, to make sure that it is a chopped up. Then add the other ingredients. Then push the "frozen drink" button and your done when it stops.

I make mine with 10 oz milk, 3-4 ice cubes (I use a personal blender) and sometimes I'll add a drop or two of mint extract. It tastes pretty good that way. I have made it a time or two with just plain water and it is too think and drinkable but not great. I have also heard that adding a tsp or two of PB2 powder gives it a nice chocolate peanut butter flavor so maybe try that too?

This is my favorite. To make it more filling, I use almond milk and a handful of ice, put it all in my nutribullet and end up with an amazing shake. For added fun I buy sugarfree syrups like banana and pineapple and add it to the mix...yum!
