protein-packed all-natural smoothies ideas???

So I'm a big fan of fruit smoothies for breakfast, and I like coming up with a bunch of new recipes and such. A frozen banana with berries/another fruit or 2, spices, a dash of milk etc, sometimes a spoonful of PB if it fits with the whole thing. I also usually pair it up with a toast or egg so i don't feel like i'm on a liquid diet (which is sad).
I'm really not fond of protein powders, and I don't add enough milk (it ruins the thickness, since the water in fruit also has a diluating effect) to get enough protein out of it, but I'm trying to up my protein intake lately. So I was wondering, does anyone have (preferably fruit-based but i on't care as long as it tastes good n sweet) smoothie recipes with ingredients/ideas of single ingredients I could add to make my breakfast more fulfilling, ensuring I don't get hungry too early before lunchtime?
thanks!

Oatmeal, ground flax seeds, hemp seeds, coconut, greens - those all bulk up smoothies, though aren't exactly protein-rich, and the smoothie remains sweet. If you add them and it's not sweet enough, you could always add a date for sweetness.
Aside from peanut butter, you could also add silken tofu, if you eat soy.0 -
Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are packed with protein and both pair really well with fruit.0
