    1/2 cup orange juice
    1/2 cup skim milk
    1/2 banana
    1/2 - 3/4 cup your favorite frozen fruit (depending on the consistency you like)

    The key is to start blending on a low speed and then slowly raise the speed - blend at a med-high speed for 30 seconds or so to get a good emulsion. Super easy and yummy - I drink this every day

    I'm in love with green smoothies (check out the green smoothie queen, lots of ideas there)
    This morning I had : A massive handful of mixed baby greens, approx. 1/2 cup pomegranate juice, blueberries, blackberries, ground flax seed and yogurt. Yum!

    mine pretty simple and one I got from Alton Brown:

    8 ounces Unsweetened Plain Soy Milk - look for one that is just soy bean and water (I use Westsoy) and not full of all the other stuff

    smallish banana

    1/2 frozen blueberries (lots of fiber and antioxidants)

    1/2 frozen colorful fruit - strawberries, mangos, peaches, black berries, raspberries - you get the idea.

    blend it up!

    Very filling and yummy not too sweet -

    I do:
    1/2 C Plain or Vanilla greek yogurt-lots of protein
    1 small banana
    a good handful of baby spinach
    1 C frozen fruit-whatever I have, blueberries, mango, strawberries, blackberries
    about 1 TBS flax seed,
    some honey for sweetness if I'm using the plain yogurt
    a dash of cinnamon (heard it's good for you)
    I then add plain green tea if it needs some liquid to blend
    I really don't measure so this is a guesstamite.

    Here's a simple Smoothie I make sometimes for breakfast. It's from the Zone diet - this would be a "3-block Breakfast".

    Blend together:
    1 cup milk
    2 Tbs protein powder
    1 cup frozen strawberries
    1/2 cup frozen blueberries
    1 scoop cashews


    Instead of the cashews, I use Sesame Seed Butter or Almond Butter - both give a yummy flavor!
