Anybody have some good recipies ideas for Protien Shakes and Smoothies that stay under 250 cals (or thereabout)

I am completely burnt out on my whey, yogurt, and frozen berries.

I know you people must have something up your sleeves. I would like to try something new. I have nearly turned into a blueberry.

    Higher in calories than your target, but

    1 cup chocolate soy milk
    1 scoop protein powder
    1-2 tablespoons peanut butter
    water or ice to taste.

    My favorite! Tastes like a Reese's cup milkshake. I have one after a hard workout, when I can afford the sugar in the soymilk.

    Also good is half a frozen banana
    protein powder
    peanut butter
    and water or ice for consistency.

    Frozen mango is also super good.

    oooh, chocolate! I can't wait to try that one! Thanks!

    If we could get a recipe thread going that would be great. I live off of these things durring the summer. Here's a recipe I love and it is around 150 calories!

    3/4 cup frozen berries or fresh berries (blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, or mixed berry)
    1/2 cup fat free vanilla yogurt
    1/2 cup cold pinapple juice
    1 tablespoon wheat germ
    1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder

    (you can opt out on the yogurt and use orange sherbet but you'll lose some nutritional value...maybe save this one for a "treat" day)

    Throw in some ice lastly to chill it up. My daughter loves this one too. Did you know that the typicall Jamba Juice smoothie has over 400+ calories!
