Smoothies/Shakes As Meal Replacements?

Options
Just got a new blender but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or recipes for smoothies or shakes you make at home, that don't thwart weight loss. Do smoothies work? I'm not really big on protein shakes or anything like that. I'm on 1,200 calories per day and I'm looking for something as a meal replacement. Thanks!
