    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!

    Slice those bananas before they turn brown and freeze them! You won't believe the difference in the consistency of your shake!

    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 sweeter

    I have, and the frozen banana takes DAYS to chop up in the blender. I'll freeze the ones I have left and try it tomorrow. I'm also going grocery shopping tonight to pick up lots of frozen fruits! lol

    I love a good pumpkin smoothie - I use Almond Milk, vanilla protein powder, canned pumpkin, stevia, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger to taste + Ice of course. Mmmmmm.

    I also love me a good Chocolate Banana smoothie. Unsweetened Chocolate Almond Milk, a banana, Chocolate Protein Powder, Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa, and stevia to sweeten to taste. And ice.

    Berry smoothies with Vanilla Protein Powder and frozen berries of any variety

    Mango Strawberries - Again with frozen fruit if fresh isn't available

    Another one that I love is an egg nog smoothie with milk, a raw egg (yes, I know), vanilla extract, nutmeg and sugar, splenda or stevia to taste. Ice is good in this one too. YOu can add vanilla protein powder to it to boost the protein if desired.

    I am a fan of the body fortress cookies and cream chocolate. It's pretty sweet on it's own. I use a scoop of that... 4 oz of vanilla almond milk, 8oz of reg almond milk and half a cup of frozen strawberries and blend it together for my breakfast in the morning. It usually holds me over til lunch.

    Because I am doing that - I have stopped eating my greek yogurt with the fruit in the morning to cut back on sugar.

    My typical smoothie is whey protein, almond milk, honey, strawberries and flax seed. Pretty filling with some nuts as a snack.

    If you like International coffees here is one that my best friend uses and she has lost over 40lbs. I taught it to her.

    1 tsp of chai International Coffee sugar free
    1 scoop of vanilla protein (designer whey GNC or Vanilla Torte Nectar)
    4 oz of Soy Milk or Skim Milk
    4 oz of Water or Ice
    1 tbsp of Chia Seeds - keeps you full for 5 hours
    4 oz of Greek Plain/Vanilla Yogurt

    if you want it stronger add extra tsp of Chai International Coffee powder.

    This is awesome! I have done this before and it totally tastes like an orange creamsicle. And I LOVE creamsicles. I have to cut back on the OJ though as I didn't try it with 1/2 cup.

    I smash mine up in a ziplock and flatten it in the freezer so it's frozen but not very thick. Before I toss them in the blender you can even break it up a bit just by bending the baggie.
    I make smoothies for my son with the frozen bananas, milk, and a squirt of chocolate syrup. I call it a Monkey Shake and he loves it. More of a treat than a meal though.

    I actually have a large list of yummy/filling shakes my husband and I drink. I would be happy to send them to you. My husband is a fitness professional, so as you can imagine he needs something filling. He enjoys my vanilla protein powder, with a scoop of fiber,,Almond or rice milk, a packet of organic oatmeal, and 3/4 cup of frozen mixed berries, I use chocolate protein powder in mine. I also enjoy chocolate protein powder, almond milk, banana, and tablespoon of almond butter. These shakes fill me up and help me fill up faster at my next meal. :) Hope these help.
