    1 cup frozen pineapple, 1/4 cup frozen mango, 1 med banana, 1 med apple, 6 oz plain greek nonfat yogurt, 4 cups raw spinach, sprinkle of flaxseed and sprinkle of cinnamon. Filling and tasty...the fruit overtakes the spinach taste.

    Today it was a Mango Delight Smoothie in my Vita Mixer
    1 Medium orange
    1/2 banana
    1/2 peeled mango
    1/2 apple
    1 cup of ice

    Awesome!! I've learned from this post I should be adding protein so its more filling.

    My favourite at the moment for when I want something different to protein powder.
    Strawberry cheesecake smoothie (found the recipe on MFP)

    Cottage cheese
    Low fat milk
    Frozen strawberries
    Vanilla essence & Stevia

    Sooo yummy. 180 - 200 cals for 18 - 20g of protein (depending on low fat or regular cottage cheese).

    Definitely add protein to your smoothie. It aids with muscle recovery after a work out. If you are using them as a meal replacement, it will definitely keep you feeling full longer as well. I drink at least one a day as I am trying to increase my protein intake to help build muscle. Here is what is in mine:

    1 cup So Delicious unsweetened almond milk (has more protein than the other brands)
    1 scoop Pure Protein Whey Protein - Vanilla Cream
    1 tbsp ground flaxseed

    If I drink it after a long run, I add 1/2 banana

    I use an immersion blender to mix it up and make it nice and frothy (and to chid myself into thinking I am having a milk shake!)

    Hope this helps!

    My "go-to": Kale or spinach, cucumber, berries, banana or mango, and flax, chia or hemp seeds. And spirulina if I want to be extra healthy. :)

    Today, I made a frappie "smoothie". 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 3 ice cubes, and 2 tsp of instant coffee.

    I also use nonfat yogurt (plain) with the almond milk and frozen fruit (with or without protein powder).

    You can do so many different ones depending on what you have in your fridge or freezer, quick, easy, and delicious!

    My Smoothie is as follows:

    Ice;
    Triple sec;
    Tiquilla;
    Margaritta mix

    Blend until smooth. I enjoy it in the late afternoon, but it makes a good wake up smoothie as well

    1 cup almond milk or skim milk
    1/3 cup of rolled oats
    Strawberries, bananas, or blueberries, usually about a cup each
    1 tbsp of cinnamon
