well, I think I will try this. But I must say it doesn't sound all that great. But I am into feeling full for much longer. I seem to be always hungry. Thanks

Yes...this recipe does make a lot of drink. It actually said it was 1.5 servings, but I seem to have no problems finishing it...however feel free to trim it down to lower the calories and portion size.

could I possibly use frozen spinach?

I haven't, but I don't see why not. The spinach is for nutrients only. It adds no flavor and grinds away to nothingness. Since you're adding ice and making it the consistency of a smoothie anyway, seems frozen would work just fine.

just have to say i tried this today for the first time and i love it!
i did use regular milk instead of almond milk...and i guess my bananas are huge, because half was like 80 grams lol so the whole thing came in a little over 500 calories - will definitely split it with my husband next time i think.

Just a note, I wasn't happy with the amount of calories either so I cut out one of the tablespoons of peanut butter and it made no difference in taste but eliminated about 100 calories and a ton of fat....so there you go! And you can do a 1/4 banana as well.

This is pretty much how I make my protein shake now but not quite as much. For those of you who want to tone it down do this

1 scoop of protein powder (I use GNC amp whey chocolate protein.
1/2 banana (You can freeze the other half)
1/2 C almond milk
1/2 C water
1 tbs of pb2---This has significantly less calories and fat then regular pb but tastes amazing!
ice
handful of spinach
tastes like a chocolate pb shake..

Thanks for the recipes, I am going to try these shakes too, I have heard alot of good things about them, mostly that people stay full.

I do one where instead of peanut butter, I add frozen berries. Super good!

What function does protein powder serve? Is it mostly for body building? Will it help burn more calories?

Thanks,
