But I am announcing a new addition to the format here at SGET (gosh, that just does NOT roll off the tongue like I wished it did). I have decided that for someone who, in a moment of smug self-importance, named herself "SmoothieGirl," I am woefully lacking in smoothie recipes for the blogette. As I've discovered my favorite PB&J smoothie that I make every.day.of.my.life, I rarely venture away from it except when I'm craving chocolate, so I make a............
(drumroll)....................................
(drumroll).....................................
CHOCOLATE SMOOTHIE!! Genius, I know.
Well, I think that I need to grow as a Smogger (hmm, I was shooting for Smoothie Blogger but it didn't work very well), so I'm going to challenge myself to create some new and interesting smoothies every week. From now on, Saturdays shall be deemed...
(more drumrolling.......................)
SMOOTHIE SATURDAYS!!!
(and the crowd goes wild)
...or if I get busy on Saturdays it might be........
SMOOTHIE SUNDAYS!!!
Anyway, the point is, one of the days on the weekend I will offer up a few recipes that I will have guinnea pigged on myself the prior week. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.
If you have anything you think you'd like me to try (and don't say eye of newt with frog legs or anything like that) then shout.
I'm thinking I need a cute signature like all the other big-girl bloggers. How about this one:

A smogger? I LOVE it!! And love the signature!
LOVE this idea! :-D
Sadly, I don't have a blender! I bought a mini food processor for the singular purpose of making banana soft serve, but now I might have to buy a cheap blender for the sole purpose of making your smoothies...
I never really got into them because they make me so full for too long--not good when I have to eat so much--but I'm open to change!
Look forward to Saturday :)
Mmmm...smoothies!
So your comment on my chocolate PB post just cracked me the heck up! Especially since that's exactly the way I felt when I posted it. It felt like chocolate nut butter porn. lol.
Here's a challenge for you: A smoothie with less than 5 ingredients and they all must be able to be purchased at a regular groc store or WF. I already have XG and GG so I'm good there. No weird syrups you've had on hand since 1984. LOL Kidding! I love ya girl and thanks for all your wonderful support the past 24. And your siggy? Hmmm, I just put a siggy up too and I like yours too! Although as I emailed you, the way that I have to scroll and navigate around it with a couple extra clicks annoys. LMK if you figure out how to drag the skinny blogger box of right-center-left-remove around the page. I can't drag that stupid thing. GRr :)
Protein Girl! A huge Welcome!! I loved perusing your site and you're on my G-reader- I'll be back for sure! I'll need to make sure that I don't copy any of your recipes (and if I do I'll LiNK LINK LINK!! ;-) )
VG- thanks, I'll try to think of some vegan smoothies :-) But with gluten free etc you might have to do a little modification...
Abby- Yes, I can see where smoothies would NOT work for someone trying to eat MORE rather than less. That's my MO with the smoothies- they keep me full for hours!! PS You can by the Back to Basics blender for other things- so cheap and so good. Check my Tale of Two Blenders post if interested.
Jogger- Hee hee! :-D Bowm-chickie-bowm-bowm!
Averie- good point- less than 5 ingreds (I'll give bells n' whistles options afterward). thanks for the info re. the signature. I got one up, but then it went poof into the bermuda triangle known as my computer. will have fun with that another time :-) Thanks for the help though!
Yay for changes! I think this is a great idea! I love smoothies? Tell me you've tried the green variety??
deb i love you. first off i LOVE that you combine words together and are an advocate of acronyms. we are meant to be buddies. and second i love that your new feature works with saturdays AND sundays, hooray for the word "smoothie" for starting with an S. if it was an M, T, W, Th, of F you would only have one day! <3
Low- yes, I do a green shake every single day (before my pbnj). It's not that thrilling but I can certainly give the recipe. Actually I've tweaked it so that it's quite lovely now! :-D I know you said you have that every day.
Janetha- you are a sweet heart, really! Thanks!
Now I gotta start getting creative now that the whole blogosphere is watching- or at least the 7 folks that I know of! :-D Eek the pressure is ON!!
Deb - my favorite Smogger.
Oatgurt smoothie anytime soon? ;)
HEABS- eek, send me a good (EASY) oatgurt recipe and I'll see what I can do!!
Yay! I can't wait to get in on your smoothie secrets!
I LOVE the Smogger thing!! I'm very excited about your idea...you always make me laugh. :)
