Smoothies / Protein Shakes / Meals On The Go

[harmor515]

i just drink it with water, that's all

[makinMYway30]

my question is can i use this as a meal replacement but i know i need something with little carbs and will it help me tone my body and lose weight especially in my stomach area. I'm also on thyroid meds. for hyperthyroidism which i was dropping weight fast and my body was on hyper drive. So i have to stay on the meds. but i need to tone up and lose weight

[33candie]

That is a great idea to grind the oatmeal first. I add oatmeal to my protein shake and sometimes chucks of oatmeal are in the shake. thanks

[Blood2pac]

i have that blender(:



[kattemissen]

Very good ideas, I can see that you also have some nutritional knowledge! - I just wanna make a suggestion.. The Syntha-6 you use consists og half protein/half carbs, and you already have enough carbs with the seeds and fruit, so you could make a more ideal smoothie with a protein powder with more protein value, for eksample the optimum nutrition product, or dymatize! - Thanks for the video

[kattemissen]

@kattemissen But if you like BSN you could use their Dessert product... but that is expensive

[20pearlsNcurls]

@kattemissen Thanks for the suggestion but I'll stick with Syntha-6 because it's the best protein that I have tried and I've been drinking protein for 20 years. Because I have such a high metabolism, I need more carbs. Can't afford to lose any weight. LOL! Besides, 13 grams isn't bad when you include the fiber which I don't think Dymatize has any (can't remember). Syntha-6 is easy on the stomach too. Thanks for watching!

[kattemissen]

@20pearlsNcurls Indeed, the fibers are very good!

[alakalach1]

delicious very good simply and good !!!

[20pearlsNcurls]

@alakalach1 Thanks!

[elj31326]

are the shakes to be used as meals or snacks?

[20pearlsNcurls]

@elj31326 They can be used for either. I mostly make them as a quick meal to keep me from going to a fast food restaurant or immediately after I workout.

[loveLoveLiveLaugh]

where you get the protein powder

[20pearlsNcurls]

@loveLoveLiveLaugh I get it from The Vitamin Shoppe

[20pearlsNcurls]

@ChristinaHappyGirl Thanks! I hope you like them.

[elj31326]

i did not see the measurernts for the liquid , the oatmeal, and powder can you please tell me

[20pearlsNcurls]

@elj31326 Sorry about that! The milk is between 8-10oz and I just used 1 scoop of the oatmeal and protein powder. The scoop came inside the protein container.

[DCtoons]

the song is epic

[FrozyWozy]

This video was great! Did u only use one banana each Smoothie? I love Smoothies and actually just had a banana and blueberry one for dinner/dessert. Def took away the hunger. I'm gna try some of ur recipes.

[20pearlsNcurls]

@FrozyWozy Yes, I only used 1. I hope you like them. If you try the green one be sure to blend the heck out of it b/c those greens are tuff. LOL!!! It's very good though.

[MzBarbiiebella]

Thx you so much fir this video you are my inspiration . But why do you use almond milk ? Soy milk is good or no? I don't drink dairy and it's so difficult for me to know which one is the best

[20pearlsNcurls]

@MzBarbiiebella Awww, THANKS! I use almond milk because I am lactose intolerant and I haven't found a dairy milk that doesn't mess up my stomach. I have tried dozens. LOL! The taste of almond milk is great too and I don't have to add sugar when I use it in my cereal.

[dsugartwist]

Love this! After swimming class today I'm going to the health food store to look for the protein powder, berries and flax seed oil. Thanks a million. I hope it comes out great in my big blender but I'll put the single use one on my gift list.

[20pearlsNcurls]

@dsugartwist I'm glad this was helpful! You shouldn't have a problem using a regular blender. I have used one before and it was fine. I hope you get the single use one b/c it's VERY convenient to travel with for places like the gym and work. Enjoy!

[cmedger]

This was so helpful, and I have replaced a meal with the help of your ideas here!! I cannot thank you enough!!!! God bless... 

[20pearlsNcurls]

@cmedger WOW! That's great! I'm glad this was helpful for you :o)

[cmedger]

This was an awesome and very helpful video!! Thank you.

[20pearlsNcurls]

@cmedger Thanks so much!

[ltate0515]

Thanx so much for this video...I went to walmart and purchased the exact same blender and i make smoothies for breakfast EVERY single day now lol. I love them! My favorite thus far is fresh mango,frozen pineapple, lite vanilla yogurt, with a splash of juice...so good and filling! Thanks again...keep up the good work :)

[20pearlsNcurls]

@ltate0515 You're very welcome! Aren't they great?!  LOL! I haven't tried one with mango and pineapple but after seeing your ingredients I'm definitely going to now. Thanks!

[20pearlsNcurls]

@mesham25 That's a good price, especially when you compare it to the Magic Bullet. I actually got mine on sale for $17.99. They have similar brands at Walmart for $19.99 Thanks for watching!

[msisis12]

Great video! How much oatmeal do you add?

[20pearlsNcurls]

@msisis12 Thank you! I just add 1 scoop which is about the same amount as the scoop of the protein.

[MISSDEEDEVINE1]

thank for making that video! iam so sick of eating bagels and sausage egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast and snacking on CRAP and then inevitably feeling like it as well -- going start tomorrow being a healthier me with your smoothies

[20pearlsNcurls]

@MISSDEEDEVINE1 I'm glad this was helpful to you. I get tired of cooked breakfast's too so this is a perfect replacement. These smoothies keep me from going to fast food places too since I drink one before leaving the house. Thanks for watching!

[siamese4life]

Thanks for this vid!Off to find to find that blender and some of these ingredients.My blender doesn't blend the rough stuff so well.Is it only me that doesn't like the 'bits" in the fruit smoothies? lol.I blend the mess out of fruit smoothies! They all look great.

[20pearlsNcurls]

@siamese4life You're welcome! I don't care for bits either. LOL! I heard they have a blender similar to this at Walmart for $19.99. These single blenders are wonderful! I will never be without one.

[naturalhairful]

You are just a wealth of information Ms Lady!!! I love it. I do smoothies also. I never thought about the protein powder. Where did you get that? I have some here that my husband ordered, I may try that in my drinks And I never thought about flax oi. I have to try that. I have used plain yogurt I wonder if that is like protein?? hmmm

[20pearlsNcurls]

@naturalhairful Awwww, THANKS! I got the protein from The Vitamin Shoppe. Yogurt does have protein. Greek yogurt actually has a higher content. The one I had earlier is by Danon and it had 12g compared to Yoplait's 6g. I personally wouldn't substitute yogurt for protein powder b/c I need extra protein after working out to rebuild my poor lil muscles. The benefits of flax seed oil are great but I hate the taste so I put it in my shakes and never know it's there. LOL!

[aloe4radiance]

Girl that look hecka good!!!!! Ok I gotta make a list so I can make these as I am always on the go and this would be perfect! Not to mention fast!

[20pearlsNcurls]

@aloe4radiance Thanks lady! You'll love the taste AND the convenience.

[1LUV7]

Why was my mouth waterin? lololol, thanks for sharing, my son is gonna loooove this!

[20pearlsNcurls]

@1LUV7 LMBO!!! Everytime I reply to a comment and look at the screen MY mouth waters. LOL!!! Kids usually love the banana and peanut butter or the strawberry and banana.

[lilallnatural1]

OMG these smoothies look great!! You have given me some great ideas!!! Thank you so much:)

[20pearlsNcurls]

@lilallnatural1 Thank you! You're very welcome. Enjoy!

[javajive01]

Excellent! One of the best smoothie videos around. I love that it's straight forward and easy to follow.

[20pearlsNcurls]

@javajive01 Thanks lady! I'm glad you liked it.

[MissLeeLee37]

All of these looked appealing until you got to the green one. I have a very low tolerance for taste and I tried a green drink b4 that I could not even take down. I just started using the Jillian Micheals Whey protein and am still adjusting to the taste. Every other one I tried I gave away after one drink. Thank you for posting this and love the info on the oatmeal.

[20pearlsNcurls]

@MissLeeLee37 LOL!!! The green one taste great!!!  But you have to blend it much longer than the others. The apple juice helps with the taste. I haven't tried the JM Whey protein. My favs are Syntha-6, Matrix & Muscle milk. They ALL taste amazing and don't give me gas. I'm glad you like it and THANKS for watching :o)

[MeekInWisdom]

@20pearlsNcurls Great video! How did you get your apple juice to look like that. Normally when I juice apples, they don't have the brown store bought looking color. What type of apples did you use and did you strain any residue of pulp?

[20pearlsNcurls]

@MeekInWisdom Thanks! I used red rome apples. The juicer that I have has a froth separator on it so the brown foam never mixes in with the juice. I didn't have to strain because the juicer does such a great job. I have a Breville.

[MeekInWisdom]

@20pearlsNcurls Awesome... I'm gonna have to invest in a Breville.... Thank you for sharing!

[MissLeeLee37]

@20pearlsNcurls You are very welcome!

[Sheslocdup]

I love you for this video sis : ) I will be trying the oatmeal asap. Where did you get that wonderful blender??? I love it.

[20pearlsNcurls]

@Sheslocdup Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I got the blender from Kohls a little over a year ago on sale for $17. It has all of the same pieces as the Magic Bullet but for a lot less money. I just couldn't see spending another $60. Adding the oatmeal is great b/c it keeps me full. Sometimes I grind granola w/nuts, kashi, etc and add it. There are soooo many things that you can do with a smoothie.

[20pearlsNcurls]

@jasalyssa Thanks lady! Go for it!

[thecreativelady]

You better work girl! I love this. I was just in Target Friday debating whether or not to buy a single blend n go for $13. I opted not to buy once since we already have a regular blender. I'm rethinking that now. The way you blended that oatmeal was genius! I thought it was some already powdered stuff! Don't you make me get out this bed and go way 'cross town to that Target looking for the blender! LOL! Great video!

[20pearlsNcurls]

@thecreativelady You need to get on up and rush over there. LOL!!! You should check Kohls too. That's where I got mine.  It has the same attachments as the Magic Bullet, which I had but I burnt the motor out from using it so much. The Bella was much cheaper. The single blenders are so convenient b/c you can take them to the gym and to work to give yourself a quick healthy fix. Glad you liked it!

[haffilvgrls]

Thank you so so much for sharing miss lady!!! I have been trying to research going vegetarian, and these recopies are great!! Can't wait to try them.

[20pearlsNcurls]

@haffilvgrls You're very welcome! Let me know how you like them.

[LuBellaCoils]

All of those looked so good!

[20pearlsNcurls]

@LuBellaCoils Thanks! They ARE good. I'm getting cravings just watching this. LOL!

[louloumatou]

super great video, i have never tried the almond/peanut butter one, will do tomorrow!! :)

[20pearlsNcurls]

@louloumatou Thanks!  You're gonna LOVE it! It taste good if you add honey to it as well.
