    aaaah. Interesting idea with the almond milk or yogurt... I woulda never thought to try adding that! Someone one said they put coconut milk in them too which sounds good!

    My favorite post workout smoothie is 89 grams spinach, 140 grams frozen fruit medley from Costco (one is peach, pineapple, blueberry, strawberry and melons, the other is mango, papaya, pineapple and strawberries. I use one or the other.) 24 grams rich vanilla protein powder (MRM), 4-8 ounces unsweetened coconut milk and sometimes a handful of flax seed or a scoop of Amazing Greens (powdered super green stuff). It tastes like ice cream and it's so refreshing after a workout!

    Another good one that I got from the Vitamix guy is spinach, a wedge of lime, slice of fresh pineapple, a whole orange with just the peel removed but not the pith (white part). I think he also used apple juice and/or honey to sweeten but I never used them. He did say you can add a scoop of protein powder to it but I always drink it without. This one is really yummy too.

    If I do my post workout smoothie without the mixed fruit but toss in an orange instead it tastes like an orange dreamsicle with that vanilla powder. :)

    Spinach, (or other greens) cocoa powder, a seedless date or two for sweetening and some blueberries, strawberries or banana (I skip the dates when I use banana) is really yummy too.
