I want to make vitamin fruit smoothies in the morning----?

Question

Are there any powders or otherwise flavorless vitamins that I could add. I am a octo-lacto vegetarian. what vitamins should I use? can you buy these vitamins at the grocery store?

I just wanted to add these to a fruit smoothie

Answer 1

Most components of smoothies contain a variety of vitamins/minerals. If you make a smoothie using frozen fruit (buy bag peaches, berries, freeze bananas, mango, what ahve you) and use yogurt and milk to thin it so it will blend, this contains a great deal of vits/mins as-is.

Answer 2

here are some recipes for fruit with veg smoothies...

Ridgerunner's Blended Spinach Salad

1 cup pineapple
1 orange
1 pear
1 apple (or a couple carrots)
1/8 slice lemon with peel
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 large handful raw spinach (about 8 oz - yes, 1/2 lb!)

First blend the pineapple, orange, pear, apple, lemon and flaxseed to a nice fluid. Add the frozen blueberries and blend them in. Last, add the spinach and blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth. It looks horrible (purplish brown) but tastes delicious! (and you will be surprised how much it "compresses down" with blending - 1/2 lb compresses down to about 1 cup fluid).
I started off just adding spinach to the carrot citrus cocktail we all love, but gradually started adding more fruits. The secret is to have lots of sweet and fluidy fruits to overwhelm the subtle flavor of spinach. You CANNOT taste the spinach - I guarantee it!

Answer 3

If you make your smoothies using the correct ingredients, you won't need a vitamin powder.

Fiber or protein, but not vitamins.

Well I used to drink this one smoothie... it was a banana smoothie. I forget what it was called, but it was really good!!
