if you add a little bit of skim milk and some fat free pudding mix, and i only mean a teeny tiny bit, it should help with the blandness, my mom did the herbalife diet, and their shakes are horrible! she started adding only a teaspoon or so of pudding mix and it makes it taste so much better. fresh fruit is also a great option. i hope this helps!0

Even though I love spinach, the thought of it in a smoothy was nasty. However, I have recently started making shakes with a cup of spinach, a half cup of blueberries, 1/4 of an avocado, 1/2 of a banana, scoop of protein powder, and 1/2 cup to 1 cup of almond milk. It's delicious. You don't taste the spinach or avocado at all. It's smooth and yummy.0

I love Total Lean from GNC. I use one scoop, milk, and frozen strawberries. Very filling and very nommy. Not too expensive, good source of protein, and low on sugar.0

if you have a blendtec, you can make the following
2.5 cups fatfree milk + 240 g frozen strawberres(2cups) + 4 cups Novus Whey Isolate(any protein coated with lechithin works too) + 3 tbsp splenda
That usually gives me a very thick jamba juice like smoothie, makes a bit over 1 liter of smoothie0 -

I love love love this one.
1/2 c. plain yogurt
1/2 c. frozen fruit (i love raspberries, strawberries or blueberries & sometimes use a little of all three)
1/4 c. non dairy milk (I love coconut milk)
1-2 handfuls of spinach
scoop of greens powder in berry flavor
scoop of whey protein powder in vanilla flavor
splash of pomegranate milk.
throw in blender in the order listed and blend for 30 seconds. Add more liquid if necessary... I usually add more milk if I need it. If you need it a little sweeter you can use some stevia or raw honey.0 -

Thanks everyone, I'm going to try all of these. I just want something more filling, which is why I use bananas (plus they are turning brown) but I'm tired of my shakes being not so tasty!0

I use AdvoCare Meal Replacement shakes, and they taste awesome. The chocolate and berry ones are my favorites. They have 24 g of protein. Sometimes, I blend them with fresh fruit and/or mix them with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I'm a busy person in the mornings, so these types of shakes are very convenient for me.0

If you add a spoonful of chia seed to your smoothie it will help keep you full as well! Here is what I make for me and DH.
water or carrot juice
3 cups spinach-fresh
2 cups frozen fruit (strawberries, mango, peach, pinnapple)
1/2 avocado
1 scoop chia seed
1 packet truvia
This combo is sweet and packed with vitamins.0 -
easy and inexpensive smoothy (no fancy powders)
2-3 handfuls fresh spinach
half of a frozen banana
4 frozen strawberries
1/4 cup vanilla 0% greek yogurt
1 tbs. peanut butter
Stevia
couple ice cubes
milk/orange juice/water (for liquid)
Throw it all in the blender, makes a big cup of delicious smoothy, about 250 calories0 -
I have sweet cream, but I am not in LOVE!!!!0

These all sound so good! I know what i am adding to my menus for next week Thanks everyone!0

A fairly simple one that I like:
Frozen mixed berries (no sugar added)
Plain non-fat kefir (kind of like liquid yogurt)
1 tbsp on sugar free or organic jam preserves to sweeten.
It's really good and filling, but it is around 180 calories.0 -
Ingredients:
1 banana
1 cup milk (I use skim or 1%)
2 Tbs. of honey or sugar-free honey substitute
1/2 cup granola
1/2 cup of ice
It can seem weird drinking granola, but it really just gives the drink a nice texture. You also might want to try adding 1/4 or 1/2 cup of plain yogurt to add a bit of tart flavor or to help smooth it out.0 -

have you tried freezing the banana. I had almost the same shake as you this morning but used a frozen banana and vanilla coconut milk for sweetness. the frozen banana adds a creamyness
edit to add i also added a serving of protein powder which makes it thicker and sweeter0 -
Sorry I let some suck job scammer bait me into re-advertising for them, so I edited it!0

My shakes are simple.
1 6oz container of light yogurt
1 medium banana
6-10 ice cubes
Makes a perfect 1.5 cup smoothie for about 180 cals or so. I recommend strawberry, or other flavors of yogurt that complement bananas.0
