    My favorite (though no one else in my family likes them) is strawberry peanut butter. 1 c milk, 1 c strawberries, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1 tsp sugar (or other sweetener). I could eat this every day. It's kind of high is cals, so I also make a half batch sometimes.

    Chocolate protein powder, almond milk, granola and peanut butter = like a peanut butter cup

    Right now I'm doing Vega Vanilla Chai powder, almond milk, banana and strawberry.

    If you don't mind a lot of sugar, vanilla protein powder, orange juice, mango and banana are yummy together.

    One of my faves is a basic green ~ and no, you can't taste the spinach. I know you don't like blueberries, but you can use other berries to change the color if the green is bothersome :)

    This makes two breakfast smoothies (one for me and one for hubby).

    1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
    handful of spinach (washed, of course...raw)
    1 small banana
    1/2 cup of pineapple chunks (in pineapple juice....or fresh if you have it)

    Blend with ice (dunno how thick you like it...so that all depends on your taste :)).

    I have also added a 1/2 cup of frozen berries in there and reduced the ice. You can replace the spinach with kale as well.

    I like to use 1/2 banana, fresh pineapple (frozen),1 scoop of GNC unflavored whey, 1 T sugar free Chocolate Torani or any flavor will do. Add ice and some water, I like mine thick so I add lost of ice. Blend in blender and I only drink 1/2 of it. Not to get too many calories.

    My fave is super simple.

    One EAS AdvantEdge protein drink-strawberry flavor, and 1 cup of frozen sliced strawberries. Blended in my ninja blender. Yummy!

    I also use a vanilla flavored drink with frozen bananas, or peaches, or strawberries and bananas

    I'm all about sweets.

    1 frozen banana
    1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter
    1 cup almond milk (You could user regular as well)
    1/2-1 scoop protein powder chocolate or vanilla (I usually put in 1/2, but most people are bigger than me and would benefit from a whole scoop)
    Cocoa powder to taste

    I especially like this when I'm eating vegan, because it packs a great protein punch. You can also add a cup or two of spinach, doesn't affect the flavor much.

    Another one I like:
    1 large frozen banana
    a mango
    1-1/2 cups almond milk

    Not as protein-full as the first one, but it tastes really good if you just want a smoothie.

    Note: I also imagine you could use dairy milk, I just prefer almond milk.

    The key to my smoothies tasting good are raspberries. So my recipe goes like this:

    2 scoops Visalus powder (using up what I have right now)
    3/4 c. Raspberries
    3/4 c. Other fruit
    1 tbsp chia seeds
    1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    and sometimes, I add a tbsp of oatmeal.

    In the morning I drink this awesome smoothie. So healthy.


    1/2 cup strawberries
    1/3 cup raspberries
    1/3 cup blackberries
    1 banana
    1/3 cup POM juice
    1 scoop 21 grams vanilla protein

    My advise is to buy those small blenders that is a cup to go so that you don't even have to pour out into a different cup, you can just take it with you for your drive to work or whatever and only have to clean one cup.

    Let me know how it tastes. Gives me so much energy and convenience in the morning.

    313 calories today when I used mango as "other fruit". Mangoes are high calorie so you could go lower with another fruit.

    Chocolate protein powder + 1 tbsp peanut butter + 1 cup skim milk or almond milk + 2 tbsp cooked oats + ice =
    A shake that tastes like a No-Bake Cookie.
    You will think you're eating ice cream.

    I just throw in whatever is in my fridge. :)

    I always start with a handful or two of spinach with some water or almond milk. You can use greek yogurt but I don't like the added calories. I always throw in a banana for "body" and then just toss in whatever fruit I have on hand: frozen berries, pineapple, strawberries (stems and all), and/or oranges. Top off with a couple tbsp of chia seeds and it's awesome! :)
