I just started doing smoothies for breakfast about two weeks ago, and just started MFP earlier this week (so feel free to add me as a freind!). I really like having my smoothies in the morning because I have an hour commute and its a great grab and go, and I reuse my tumbler cup to encourage me to drink more water throughout the day and on the ride home.
So far I have been making my smoothies with
1 cup light and fit strawberry greek yogurt
1 medium banana
1 cup frozen fruit (no sugar added) - peaches, strawberries or mixed berry
1 1/3 of 30 calorie almond milk.
All around 300 calories makes a huge smoothie and keeps me full from 7am to 10ish (till I have an apple or something for a snack)
Just curious if anybodt else is doing smoothies for breakfast and what they use in theirs.

Protein powder! Vanilla flavored works great with most fruit-based. Sometimes after a long, hard run, I use bananas with chocolate milk for muscle recovery.0

I just tried my chocolate whey protein with almond milk, couple ice cubes, and a half of a frozen banana. Very filling!0

I use 1/2 cup non fat plain greek yogurt (chobani), 1 cup 1% milk, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, and 1 banana (room temp). Mine is about 350 calories. I love it!0

I too make a smoothie in my vitamix every single work day. My basic "recipe" is as follows:
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
fresh pineapple (about 1/2 cup but I don't measure
a handfull of spinach (I would guess about a cup but again don't measure)
about a half a frozen banana
1 cup some type of frozen fruit (no sugar added)
1 scoop of protein powder
I swear you will not taste the spinach if you think that sounds "gross" The pineapple adds sweetness. I always cut up and freeze bananas to have on hand.
I like chocolate protein powder when I used blueberries. I prefer vanilla when doing the tropical flavors such as mango or pineapple, but honestly, you cannot go wrong starting your day this way for about 300 calories.0 -
I have a lot of options on this page:

Mine have been pretty simple lately. I put two scoops of Body By Vi shake mix and one 6oz container of Chobani nonfat Greek yogurt in a blender with ice and water. I drink it on my way to work (7:00am) and it satisfies me until around 10:30.0

I make virtually the same smoothie every day. This serves 2.
1 tbsp White Chia Seed
1 tbsp Ground Flax Seed
1 Banana
1.5 cups Frozen Berries (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry & strawberry)
3 tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder

I put the ingredients in exactly that order into the blender (I've found it blends better). Blend & then split into two 16 ounce cups.0 -
