    I made these to put in the freezer..
    1/2 cup of frozen mixed berries
    2/3rd of a banana
    then using a muffin tin I froze 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt.

    On work days I'll throw that in the blender (new too!) with a cup of milk and maybe a handful of rolled oats! About 400cal worth of breakfast - less if you omit the oats (which I'll keep as I'm planning on having them on workout days!)

    Hiya! We have lots of smoothies around here, my son and husband LOVE them! I usually make a banana and berry smoothie for them in the weekends. I use (for one serving) plain yoghurt (2-3 tablespoons), low fat milk (0.5 cup -1 cup), squeeze of honey, one banana and a few handfuls of berries (mainly blue berries or strawberries or s berry mix from the freezer. Super yummy and really healthy too! :)

    Well done - try adding 20 g of oats to increase the slow release carbs and to reduce your blood cholesterol.

    Don't forget that smoothies break down the cell walls of fruit and starches. This means that you absorb the nutrient and sugars much faster than if you had eaten the fruit or starch as a whole grain. This means that you get a feel good sugar spike and then you get the related dip that makes you have cravings.

    I love bananas in smoothies.

    Got this from a guy named Olly Foster, so credit to him:

    A Brazilian friend of mine recently made me a milkshake made of avocado. Avocado of all things and it was absolutely incredible!

    1 ripe avocado
    A handful of crushed ice
    Sweetener to taste (though my friend did use sugar, so this is a healthier alternative)
    A small cup of coconut (or try almond) milk

    Seriously try it guys, its absolutely delicious and full of healthy muscle building fats!

    me too!! I bought a couple of smoothie recipe books on Amazon--they have a lot of different ones. I keep all different kinds of fruit and berries in the freezer ready to throw in. Apple, pear, banana are a great combination. I also like vanilla protein powder, chocolate PB2, banana, and almond milk. Also throw in some flax seeds or chia seeds. Love my fruit smoothies!!

    Diet 7up or sprite, frozen strawberries, yogurt, ice= AMAZING for barely any calories (add different amounts for your taste)

    The base to all my smoothies is usually skim milk, ice, greek yogurt, and splenda. Add banana, berries, pineapple, orange, peanut butter, almonds, grapes, cuties, raisins, peanuts, walnuts, cooked oatmeal, or any combination of these! LOVE smoothies.

    very true...but i train for 2 hours a day(more than an hour of weights/resistance), hence why i need the calories and sugar just after my workouts. even after im done, im on a deficit on most days. i suppose this shake is mainly for people who are building muscle and losing fat. you can go healthier by cutting out whatever you think is too high in sugars and cals from that list obviously and add in healthier substitutes like more berries, almond milk and so on. whatever fits your macro nutrient requirements at the end of the day i suppose :)

    You might think I'm crazy but try this smoothie. It is great for building lean muscle, and it tastes like a milkshake. Also, tons of vitamin A. :)
    1/2 ripe avocado
    1/4 cup coconut milk
    3/4 cup almond milk
    1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
    1 teaspoon stevia or splenda
    1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

    Instead of coconut or almond milk, cows milk or soy works fine, too.

    I didn't read all the responses so I apologize if someone responded with this but it is so good!

    1 whole banana
    1/2 cup almonds
    3-4 ice cubes
    splash of yogurt if you so desire

    Just enough protein and a great taste!
