    Protein powder
    1/2 cup cottage cheese (got this idea from the famous Cake Batter recipe)
    1 TBL cocoa powder
    1 tsp Splenda
    Splash of coffee
    1 cup vanilla almond milk

    Chocolatey goodness. :)

    I add about 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract to my vanilla protein mix with ice to make a homemade shamrock shake without the green coloring. Refreshing!

    I definitely have not been creative enough in my smoothies! I just tend to throw in some milk, protein powder and frozen fruit. (This is a thread about vanilla powder, but if you've got chocolate then try the following: 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup frozen raspberries and 1 T peanut butter. Tastes like dessert!)

    I always mixed it with OJ and thought it tasted like an Orange Julius!

    Or use Cooled herbal teas as your liquid (like chai)

    Also, you can add a handful of baby spinach to anything and you won't even taste it.

    I also do the spinach!

    And I never thought of doing it with Chai! I will have to give that a shot. Like a chai frap or something.. Mmm.

    Thanks! :drinker: I've been using it to make 'proatmeal', but these sound so much better. Never though about using pudding mix; sounds delish. BRILLIANT!

    YUM!

    I'm pretty boring with my smoothies, the most inventive I get is PB and a banana... but even that's not actually inventive because it's my fav drink from Jugo Juice :$

    Yummy, wonderful ideas..

    I like the Snickers recipe by Body By Vi...I just substitute in my own protein powder instead of using theirs..Even my kids love this one.

    1 TBSP sugar free caramel syrup
    1 TBSP peanut butter ( or PB2, I haven't tried the PB2 yet)
    1 1/2 tsp sugar free chocolate pudding mix
    8 oz almond milk
    1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (or 2 scoops of Body By Vi mix if you use it)
    ice to your desired thickness
