Smoothie ideas

I need ideas for smoothies as meal replacements. I do not usually eat lunch, but I know I need to eat more often/get more calories. I had one smoothie today; it was banana, apple, peanut butter, ice, and milk. I am not sure about adding whey or any other thing like that. I am not really familiar with any of those products. Any smoothie ideas are appreciated :wink:

    1 cup fresh strawberries
    1/4 c egg liquid whites

    I have it every morning. It's delicious.

    My favorite smoothie (that I find filling):

    5 ice cubes
    1 cup pumpkin puree (the plain kind - don't get pumpkin pie filling by accident)
    1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    1 large banana
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp vanilla extract

    Super delicious, and full of fiber to keep you full.

    @ Pearsquared...I've never seen pumpkin in a smoothy, but what a GREAT idea! Guess it's time to go buy some pumpkin. :)

    Protein Sorbet
    Food processor with blade attachment:
    Drop in frozen fruit , then process until "snow" texture.
    Then add a touch of stevia and 2 scoops of protein powder,(I prefer whey); process to mix.
    Then process while adding a touch of milk until the desired consistency.
