    I consider myself; Queen of Smoothies" lol. I add anything and everything. Almond butter, those flavored packets u add to water, add to strawberries or other fruit so it has some sugary flavor. I love my sugar. I have also added those protein shots (sugar free) that come in those little bottles by the register at check out counters; I use "biggest loser or whey protein powders" or carnation instant breakfast (no sugar added) packets; McCormick flavorings; mostly fresh fruit and veggies. If you use spinach or kale and do not like the taste of any green drink----add an apple or cucumber and you will not taste it, u can also add Cheyenne pepper if u like it warm. Check out Dr. Oz recipes on www.sharecare.com they taste good even though the ingredients do not sound good together. You will certainly be surprised at the taste. I put the green drinks in a old micky d's Styrofoam cup so my husband does not see it and he freaks when he sees its green.

    I've been adding a variety of things, because I don't want to get bored with this great jumpstart to the day. Today, I added tbsp of Krema natural peanut butter, a half a tsp of Canadian raw honey, and about a cup of chopped carrots.

    Sometimes I'll add blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, or pineapple. I've tried it with the addition of coconut water too, for a more liquidy version. I almost always add chopped cucumber or celery, half a banana, and spinach or kale.

    It's fun to throw things and and see how they come out.

    I am sure it has been listed here but my favorite is:

    1 cup of ice
    1 scoop of Syntha-6 Chocolate
    cup or cup and half of almond milk- dont want too much - want to keep it thick
    1 banana
    1 big spoonful of natural peanut butter

    The key is getting the the mix so you don't have any ice chunks. Tastes like an ice cream dessert

    This is my favorite. One scoop of vanilla powder. One med. banana, 1/2 c of frozen blueberries, 1c low fat milk....blend. It is simple and delicious! I have one after every time I workout with weights, about three times a week!

    I always use non sweetened almond milk instead of skim milk - it saves a lot of calories.
    I always add ice too because I like my smoothies really cold.
    There is a great kindle download with recipes called Smoothie Recipes For Weight Loss - lots of good combinations.
