    I make the following smoothie each evening and refrigerate overnight in a 32-ounce Nalgene (which I then use to drink water throughout the day):
    1 heaping scoop vanilla protein powder
    4-6 strawberries
    1-2 clementines or equivalent citrus
    8 ounces organic soy milk
    8 ounces water

    As others have stated, depending on your preferences, eating habits throughout the rest of the day, and your nutritional needs, you can add flax seed, bananas, frozen berries, etc.

    I'd welcome feedback about my recipe since it's still pretty high in carbs.

    I keep seeing yogurt, yogurt and more yogurt here, and as most my MFP buddies know I just can't stand the stuff! =(

    My smoothie base is the following:

    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1/4 cup almond milk
    1 scoop protein powder
    5-6 ice cubes
    stevia to taste

    Then I add in fruit to taste - usually 1/2 - 2/3 cup, depending on the fruit.

    --OR--

    A tablespoon of sugar free pudding mix and a couple drops of an extract. Great for fake chocolate mint milkshakes, or chocolate hazelnut, caramel vanilla, whatever.

    I chuck in pretty much any fruit but always have flax seed, unflavoured whey powder and peanut butter (made only from peanuts, nothing else) in mine.

    I keep a list of some of them here : http://www.perfectfruitsmoothies.com

    Cheers.

    about 1/4 cup of strawberries, 1/4 cup of pineapple, sometimes I'll throw in mango if I'm feeling it...

    and a scoop of protein powder to finish it off.

    Mine are similar to the others posted, except I don't use any powders and do include tofu. The soft tofu I use gives the smoothie a really creamy texture and adds 20cal and 3g protein per ounce (I use perhaps 4 oz in a large smoothie). Add banana, pineapple, berries, Greek yoghurt, and ice to fill.

    If I were to make a smoothie the night before and leave in the fridge until morning, would it be good still? I ask because I live in an apartment and wake up before the birds... Don't want to burn any bridges by using a blender at 3am....
