    My vegan version is:

    2 tablespoons nutiva organic hemp powder (the 15 gram one, 60 cal)
    1 cup almond milk (60 cal)
    half a banana (55 cal for half a large organic banana)
    2.5 tablespoons organic raw cacao powder (60 cal, antioxidants)
    1 tablespoon organic ground flax (30 cal)
    5-6 ice cubes

    blend.

    My base is 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, 1 cup of almond milk unsweetened (or 1/2 cup sweetened to control calories) and a tsp of matcha powder. I then either add in natural PB (1/2 serving) or 1/2 a frozen banana. If I have fresh baby spinach, I add 1/2 to 1 cup of it since it adds nutrients without affecting the taste.

    My go-to right now is:

    1 TB Chocolate Shakeology
    1/2 c almond milk
    1/2 c water
    1/2 c frozen cherries
    1 TB SF FF Cheesecake Pudding Mix

    ^^Love Shakeology!!! I dub this recipe Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake...who wouldn't want that!

    I mix it up every day. However, I do have my basic mix.

    Basic Mix
    1 scoop Vegan Tropical Strawberry Shakeology
    2 scoops Beachbody Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
    1 c. So Delicious Unsweetened Vanilla Almond +Protein milk
    1 c. water

    I add any one of the following. For fruit, I may do half and half.
    1 c. frozen fresh strawberries
    1 c. fresh pineapple
    1 whole small banana
    1 T. cashew butter <--my FAVE
    1 T. almond butter
    1 large peach
    1 c. frozen cherries
    1 c. raspberries, or other fresh fruit

    These can be added to the above...sort of like condiments.
    1 T. FF SF Cheesecake pudding mix
    1/4 t. cinnamon
    1/4 t. nutmeg

    Mix and match and never get bored with breakfast again!

    I use this recipe for my lunch replacement! It's really filling and it's been great while I've had the flu recently.

    1 scoop of coffee flavoured protein powder (I use BSC Nutrition's Body Shaping Protein for Women in Cafe Latte flavour)
    1 cup of unsweetened Almond Breeze
    1 shot of cooled espresso
    1 tsp of bee pollen granuales
    Sprinkle of ground cinnamon

    Lots of metabolism boosting ingredients, low cal, high protein and low carb! Perfection.

    Filling and low carb: 2 tbsp. whey protein powder, 1 tbsp. cocoa powder, 1 tbsp. peanut butter (i use organic) 1 pkt. stevia, 1 cup of either skim milk or almond milk, 4-6 ice cubes. Blend all in the blender and pour into a tall glass. It tastes amazing and it's got good fats, and hardly any carbs. AND NO SUGAR! YAY!

    Banana split smoothie. Unsweetened chocolate almond milk, frozen banana, frozen pineapple chunks, a few walnuts and protein powder. Tastes like a banana split in a glass.

    ^^^ this

    Call me boring, but I have never had any problem with 1 scoop of vanilla powder and water. Keeps the calories & carbs down, gives me fast yummy protein and takes literally no time at all to make. Plus - no blender to wash! (LOL - that may be my true motivation - I hate doing dishes!)

    I chose the vanilla flavor originally because I thought I would add stuff - like fruit or peanut butter - but love it straight. Recently, I've tried other brands/flavors of protein shake - they're fine, but once they're gone, I'm going back to my EAS Whey formula.
