What kind of blender are you using?
We have a vitamix--so I include a lot of greens in my smoothie. Kale, spinach, dandelion greens, parsely, etc. Experiment until you find a combination you like. Tea is a great base... Green tea or Ooolong tea. Lemon juice (organic) helps me lighten up the flavor of the greens. I find that cucumbers give the whole thing a refreshing quality :-)
A "smoothie" expert is David Wolfe...he's a little weird to look at but he's very knowledgeable :-)

There is so much to a smoothie. There is an app for both android and I believe iOS called smoothieRX it will give you 100's of ideas based on many different health concerns. I use it daily.
Here's another thing I've had to over come. Some of them just wont taste as good as you like. Take for instance mine this morning
peach, onion, kale, watercress, blueberries, rasberries, strawberries, orange, chia seed
Did it taste good, well, not really. Is it totally healthy YES!
For me (on my way to beating type 2 diabetes) its worth it. I suck it up - keeps me full for 4 hours.
Mind over matter0 -

can you put splenda pack in your smoothie? It will probably taste better.0

I have a fruit & yogurt smoothie every day (it's the only way I like Greek Yogurt which is really good for you).
1 cup Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Greek Yogurt
6 med/large strawberries
1/2 cup blackberries/raspberries (depends on my mood)
1/4 cup Mott's for Tott's reduced sugar apple juice
1 splenda package
3 ice cubes
This is 130 calories and fills my GNC Live Well Blender Bottle, and is very satisfying and tasty0 -
The BBC Good Food breakfast smoothie is delicious. The recipe is on my food diary blog - ameliasfooddiary.wordpress.com - as I had it for breakfast yesterday morning

Based upon some things I've listened to on podcasts or read about, I do basically this:
1 cup almond milk, unsweetened, or unsweetened coconut milk
1 scoop protein powder, unsweetened (low carb, like 1 g carb)
2 T. chia seeds
1 tsp. powdered chlorella (basically it's the benefits of greens, in a powder form)
1 scoop of the Samozan (? forgot brand) powdered acai
About 1/2 cup of frozen fruit of choice--berries, or banana, or pineapple/mango--change it up!
Top it off with coconut water
Love it.0 -
For weight loss, keep the fruit at a minimum.
And why exactly is that?
I've successfully lost a significant amount of weight consuming 3 to 5 fruits a day.
OP: I like to freeze my bananas, blend it with milk and protein powder. It comes out with the consistency of a milkshake.0 -

But, but, bananas are one of the 5 things you must never eat if you want to lose belly fat! I know. I saw it in an advertisement.0 -
Good luck on the coffee habit, I'm still at two large cups a day (keeps others alive and in one piece).
My "smoothie" is as follows:
1 scoop Total Lean Vanilla
1 scoop Gluticor Max
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup frozen strawberries0 -
I haven't tried that many yet, but this one was my favourite so far:

0.25 cup blueberries
0.25 cup raspberries
3 medium-large strawberries

0.25 cup coconut milk
palm full of small ice cubes
In fact, I'm probably going to make this for breakfast :happy:0 -
