    I have a shakeology shake every morning after my workout. I rotate between my 2 favorite recipes:
    Banana Split
    3 ice cubes, i scoop chocolate shakeology, 5 medium to large strawberries, 2 pineapple rings, 1 cup water - approx 300 calories

    Reese's PB Cup
    5 ice cubes, 1 cup non fat milk or almond milk, 2 Tbsp PB2, 1 scoop chocolate shakeology - approx 270 calories

    The banana split makes close to 32 ounces so you can sip on that for quite a while or drink half and then finish other half later.
    Reese's PB Cup makes around 20-24 ounces. Both are FULL of nutrients and are filling.

    Also, in case you have not heard of it PB2 is a powdered PB that has 85% less fat and calories than regular PB but tastes the same. Cheapest place I found it is directly for the maker: http://www.bellplantation.com/

    You can get the complete magic bullet kits for under $50. Check sunday papers for sales.

    And if you get it at Bed, Bath and Beyond you can use a 20% off coupon so it is $40.

    I love mine. It's so much easier than getting out the giant blender, and makes me what to have smoothies/protein shakes every day.

    Ladies what type of protein powder are you using? Do you know of any that are high in iron?

    Here's my favorite (tastes like blueberry pancakes and is just under 300 calories).

    1 Scoop of Vanilla Whey Protein
    3/4 Cup Skim Milk
    2 Ice Cubes
    1/2 Cup Frozen Blueberries
    1 Tb Flaxseeds

    I have seen a lot of people on here use oatmeal in their smoothies/shakes. Stupid question, but are you using uncooked oatmeal? That would be a great addition to a breakfast smoothie/shake.

    I use uncooked oatmeal in my shakes every day...It does fill and cannot be tasted in the smoothy...

    My fav is
    NLY Natural live yogurt
    frozen blueberries
    frozen raspberries
    1 tablespoon oatmeal
    1 tablespoon chia seed
    coconut milk
    1 squirt of agave
    Little bit of water

    I use a knock off bullet from walmart. Works way better than the bullet I had. Makes a perfect amount and is a great meal replacement. All natural. You could add some spinach if you wanted....

    I rotate two smoothies...

    Low fat yoghurt, frozen strawberries, half a banana (frozen) and a little squeeze of honey

    Low fat yoghurt, frozen banana, frozen blueberries and a little squeeze of honey.....

    I buy fresh fruit and if it looks like it's about to turn, then I chop it up, pop it in a freezer bag and then put it in the freezer for smoothies :)
