Add 1/2 cup of any frozen fruit, low fat yogurt,small amount of juice and ice in a blender and blend away..
I love mangos, strawberrys and peaches with strawberry yogurt. no sweeteners needed because they are already sweet..

This is the one I always make.
whole banana
handful of spinach
celery stalk
handful of baby carrots (they taste sweeter than a whole carrot to me)
handful frozen berries
plain greek yogurt (about 1/4 cup)
I used to add pb, but don't really like it any more.
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
protein powder
Very filling and lots of fiber and yes, it tastes good. To me, at least.

1 x cup of Unsweetened almond milk
half a cup of frozen wild blueberries
1 scoop of 4EverFit Fruit Blast Whey protein (cranberry-raspberry)

My favorite one, that I make almost every morning for breakfast, is this one:

3/4 or 1 cup of Almond milk
One container of vanilla Greek yogurt
frozen strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries

It's about 350 calories and tastes great!

Frozen strawberries and fresca...Very low calorie, easy, and yummy!

1/2 frozen banana
1/4 cup canned pumpkin (also frozen)
1 cup skim milk
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

plenty of vitamin A, and not too many calories (it's my fall breakfast regular)

1/2 cup frozen strawberries - 50 calories
1 individual lo-fat strawberry yogurt (Wal-Mart has one that is 80 calories)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk - 30 calories
Sweetener of your choice (I like the Wal Mart stevia) - 0 calories
ice
(I also use Jillian Michaels Whey Protein powder sometimes - 100 calories a scoop)

One banana, 2 tablespoons bran, half cup frozen berries, 1 cup lite cranberry juice - about 270 calories, but very filling so great as an entire breakfast. Makes quite a big smoothie too, so you could half it for half the calories :-)

My favourite one to make is super simple...

1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp low fat greek yoghurt
a handful of fresh blueberries

Blend with water and ice and it's delicious!

I make this every morning:

1 ripe banana (100 cals)
1/4 cup Sambazon Acai juice (Costco) (35 cals) This is one of the super foods - high in antioxidants
1 cup baby spinach (5-10 cals) I get the organic baby spinach at Costco
1/2 cup Kirkland brand (Costco) Frozen berries (70 cals)
I add about 1/2 cup water to make it thin enough to drink through a straw.

I use the mixture of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries but I also use frozen strawberries or blueberries or mangoes. No need for ice with frozen fruit. The total caloric count is 215 but the nutritional count is awesome. I go for easy...I cut up bananas when they are getting too ripe to eat and freeze them to use for my smoothies - just like popping ice cubes in the blender. Kale is also a good green substitute for spinach. Some people think spinach gives them gas so kale is a good alternative. I also add a TB or raw cocau or flax seed for higher nutritional count. Takes me all of 3 mins to throw everything in a blender. You can also substitute any meaty food for the banana - peach, apple, avocado. Will change the caloric count, of course, but, again, it's more healthy than store bought smoothie mixes, etc. Hope this gets you started!

These all sound so good! I want to try them all
