    I love peanut butter in my smoothies too, but it has a lot of calories, subbing peanut butter powder (pb2) will help with that, less calories and fat, but still a lot of that great peanut butter flavor, it works awesomely in smoothies!

    That's a great idea for something like a smoothie! Does anyone know if the PB2 powder is fairly "natural?" I can't eat dairy (boo) so I try to limit my processed products to cheese substitutes.

    How do you freeze your spinach? Is it just frozen leaves or is it cooked?

    According to their website (and the label) the ingredients are only Roasted peanuts, sugar, salt. More information is at http://www.bellplantation.com/nutrition

    My standard is 6 mint leaves, a good dollop of lime juice, about 150g of frozen summer berries, a few nuggets of frozen spinach, water or almond milk and yoghurt. Sometimes with a wotsit of chocolate protein powder. Its the mint and lime juice that are most important.

    oooohhhh

    Mine is just a strawberry banana smoothie. Boring but so so refreshing. :)

    2/3 cup almond milk
    1/3 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
    1/2 cup frozen sliced strawberries
    1 medium banana

    Clocks in at 195. :)

    And obviously, you could add spinach to it to make a green smoothie, or peanut butter for some more protein, etc.

    I use a store brand fat free blueberry or strawberry yogurt (best consistency for me!), a banana or two (depending on how hungry I am), and a mix of berries. My favorite is strawberry and blueberry so far. Generally comes in at a reasonable calorie count!

    Now that I've discovered melting peanut butter and chocolate together, I now want to see if I can perfect a banana-chocolate-peanut butter one with good macros. 8)

    Last night I made a really good smoothie
    a small frozen banana
    a tablespoon of peanut butter
    half cup of unsweetened almond milk
    240 calories and it tastes great!
    Did you use that PB2 stuff or something like Jif?
