Need a new SMOOTHIE recipe

So I REALLY need to take my vitamins and supplements. I know I need them but I'm not good at swallowing anything bigger than a tylenol. I'm hopping to find some yummy, low cal smoothie recipes that I can sneak them into. I did it before and loved it. Any tips?

I have a lot of protein in my diet, so I should personally stay away from protein shakes, but feel free to add them for others on this thread

Thanks!!

    Chocolate PB2 or regular peanut butter if you prefer
    Cocoa Powder (I use chocolate peanut butter syntha-6 but you said no protein powder)
    Banana
    Skim Milk

    Try my Greeen Monster Smoothie. I can't remember where I found it but I do know I adapted it to my liking.

    1 cup Silk Almond Milk
    1 cup vanilla yogurt
    1 bananna
    2 cups of fresh spinach
    2 scoops of crush ice

    Makes 2 servings.

    you can add 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed or honey it if you like.

    I take a ripe banana, ice and skim milk. It tastes like a banana milkshake, very thick and noone can believe that it has no icecream. I sometimes add flax seed and it doesnt alter the taste. Very easy

    When I was younger I did this too.

    I would use
    1/2 cup papaya juice
    1/2 banana
    1 cup of strawberries (or mixed berries)
    1/2 cup coconut milk OR water
    and ice

    Then just blend it all together with my vitamins. I also used grape juice and apple juice sometimes. It makes a lot though.

    no matter what the smoothy is, I always add spinach. It literally disappears (unless you put waaay too much)
