I've been making one that is about 278 calories, but I use it as my meal:

Berry Smoothie
1/2 cup 0% fat plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup frozen peaches
1/2 cup frozen assorted berries
1 TBSP of honey

Blend and enjoy

Handful of leafy greens
Sweetener to taste

My tastiest smoothie recipe is anything with a thawed yocream vanilla yogurt base, just add your favorite fruit and a bit of ice it's so delicious.

A more healthy smoothie I like to make is:
1 cup vanilla soy milk (I prefer 8th continent light vanilla)
1/2 of an apple
12 grapes
Small handful of frozen blueberries (maybe 1/3 cup)
2 handfuls spinach (you could use more or less depending on your taste)
1/3 cup unflavored protein powder

I love making smoothies for breakfast! I usually throw together whatever I'm feeling instead of a set recipe but something along the lines of:

-a handful of mixed frozen fruit (this way no ice to water it down!)
-about 1/2 to 1 cup juice
-a tablespoon of flax seed or flax seed oil
-a scoop protein powder or a few spoonfuls of greek yogurt

Yum!

I also like to do a chocolate-bannana (sometimes PB too) smoothie that looks something like:

-1 frozen banana
-1 scoop choc. protein powder
-milk or almond/soy milk, about 1/2 cup to 1 cup
-flax seed or flax seed oil, 1 tablespoon
-1 tbsp cocoa powder or PB if I'm feeling it needs more flavor
-a small handful of ice cubes OR greek yogurt frozen as ice cubes

1 cup Frozen Strawberries
1 cup Frozen Raspberries
1 cup Cucumber
100g Low Fat Greek Yoghurt
150ml Skimmed Milk
3 tsp Sweetner
1 tbsp Cinnamon

About 264 calories.

I tried it with Spinach once, I didn't like the texture of the leafs, perhaps I didn't blend for long enough but felt like I was eating hair *shudder*

200ml soya milk
20g oats
150g low fat greek yoghurt
1 banana
a dash of agave nectar

I go for high vitamins, protein, and fiber in my morning shake recipe. I use a 3 veggie 2 fruit ratio and look for fruit with a strong flavor and color.

1 cup raw spinach
1/2 cup baby carrots
2-3 spears of raw broccoli
2 TBSP of 0% Greek Yogurt plain
1/8 cup Pom Wonderful pomegranate juice
1 apple or pear cored sliced
1 cup frozen Maine wild blueberries
1 scoop Cytosport Whey Protein - Vanilla

Makes a 32 oz shake or smoothie if you add a cup of ice

Thanks for asking this question. I was looking for recipes too.

I read another thread this morning that mentioned a smoothie with spinach, yogurt and berries and became very interested.
I am glad I found this thread.
My interest is in adding more power rich nutrients- so I will be looking for veggie fruit combos.

Just realized I put ''two stalks of lettuce''... i meant celery.......

Anyway mostly if you just use 3 fruits and 2 veggies it's a delicious green smoothie! Or purple if you use blueberries

I love smoothies! I have them for breakfast often, or following a long run. I usually make the recipes up myself. Here are two that I made recently:

Berry Kale Smoothie
- 1 cup of frozen berries (I like strawberries or blueberries best)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 cup of kale leaves
- 1 tablespoon of ground flax
- 1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil
- 1 medjool date
- 1/4 of a vanilla bean

Mango Berry Smoothie
- 1 mango, chopped
- 1 cup of frozen berries
- 1 1/2 cups of vanilla almond milk
- 1 tablespoon of ground flax
- 1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil
- 1 medjool date
- 1/4 of a vanilla bean

These make pretty large servings so you could probably use a little less of everything and save a few calories. However, I use this as my meal and I am a distance runner so I need something that is packed with nutrients and filling. I follow mainly a macrobiotic diet so I don't use any powders or dairy in my smoothies. My base is usually vanilla almond milk, ground flax, coconut oil and a date - then I switch it up from there! Also, I suggest a Vitamix if you are really getting into smoothies - best thing I ever purchased!
