    Totally stealing these ideas! I have a protein shake/smoothie I'm trying later today. If it is a success, I'll come back and share the recipe. :)

    I am definitely not looking for a low calorie smoothie when I make them, but it delicious and filling when you are on the run and need a meal replacement:

    A Bit of Sugar Free Maple Syrup
    1 Banana
    Tablespoon of Peanut Butter
    Cup of Soy Milk
    Hemp Protein Powder

    I pretty much always make a shake with unsweetened almond milk, a banana, a tablespoon of natural peanut butter, a scoop of protein powder, a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder, and a bunch of ground cinnamon. Oh and a couple of ice cubes.

    Thanks for starting this topic so I could get all these great recipes!

    My latest favorite is what I call an 'apple pie smoothie' and I got the recipe from one of my MFP pals.

    2 apples
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp nutmeg
    5 pecans
    1 frozen banana
    8 oz almond milk (I use unsweetened)

    It has lots of calcium, potassium, iron and 3 grams of protein while being low in sodium and only 7 grams of fat. Yummy!

    I have been using Pb2 in my smoothies and I am loving it. It is powdered peanut butter. Only 45 calories for 2 Tblsp, and it tastes yummy with half a banana, flavorless protein powder, 1 cup of almond coconut milk and some ice. You can also add a tsp of cocoa powder if you want. Only about 210 calories.

    Water
    Handful Almonds
    3 dates
    Pinch sea salt
    1 Frozen Banana
    1-2 TB almond butter
    1TSP cinnamon and vanilla

    You can use almond milk instead of almonds and water if you want.

    I like Rachael Ray's Green Machine Avocado Smoothie. Here's her recipe:

    1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
    1 ripe avocado, coarsely chopped
    1 small bunch spinach (about 2 cups of leaves), coarsely chopped
    1/2 small bunch watercress (about 1 cups of leaves), coarsely chopped
    A handful of seedless green grapes (about 1/2 cup)
    A handful of flat leaf parsley or kale, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
    1 cup ice cubes
    3/4 to 1 cup water or orange juice
    2-3 tablespoons agave syrup or honey, as needed


    I have since modified her version to use Greek nonfat honey yogurt instead of plain yogurt and to add dandelions (about 1 cup). I don't use ice cubes or agave syrup/honey. A little water is necessary because it will be quite thick in consistency.
