    Here are some of my favorites (all under 250cal) - the mango/avocado and PB/berry one are awesome (we do them in the single serve Ninja attachment or double in the larger blender).

    Six Star nutritional'sVanilla creme whey protein, frozen cherries, water or milk

    Vanilla or unsweetened whey protein, frozen blueberries, orange juice (higher in carbs, great for post workout)

    Vanilla whey protein, frozen strawberries, 1tbsp natural peanut butter, water/milk - tastes like a PB&J in a glass

    Vanilla whey protein, frozen raspberries, frozen mango, water/milk.

    I usually use 1 scoop of protein, 1/2 cup of fruit, and 1 cup of liquid

    I try to add a small handful of mild greens like baby spinach. You really don't taste it if you don't use too much.

    My standard smoothie:
    1 cup frozen blueberries (or strawberries)
    1-2 cups spinach
    1 tbsp almond butter (or peanut butter)
    1 scoop protein powder (I use vanilla whey)
    Add water for consistency

    New favorite:
    1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
    1-2 cups spinach
    1 banana
    1 scoop protein powder
    Water (or ice)
    Sometimes I add in a little pumpkin pie spices like cinnamon and ginger
    I think this one is best when I first make pumpkin ice cubes out of the puree and/or freeze some banana slices (my blender seems to do better with frozen fruit than ice cubes). But if I didn't plan in advance, I just use ice instead of water.

    OJ
    Coconut milk
    Banana
    Vanilla extract

    Tastes just like an Orange Julius but without the chalky texture and cloying sweetness.

    For breakfast I make a smoothie with kale, spinach, flax, pineapple and kiwi. I use just water and ice for the liquid so as to not add calories. I use more veggies than fruits so it is a little on the green side but it tastes so good!! Then for a protein smoothie I mix my gnc chocolate fudge protein powder with almond milk, peanut butter and half a banana. Tastes like dessert but good for you. So happy I bought one and I didn't spend a lot of money either. :)

    Here's one to satisfy a sweet tooth!
    Chocolate Banana Smoothie
    1/2 cup of cashew milk
    1/2 cup 0% Fat Greek Yogurt plain
    1 cup spinach
    2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 tbsp honey
    1 frozen Banana (cut into pieces beforehand)
    Since my single serve blender is a bit weak I usually blend all the ingredients except the frozen banana, then add it in at the end.

    My favorite breakfast smoothie:
    1 banana
    1 cup skim milk
    1 cup raw spinach
    1/4 cup oatmeal
    2 tbsp PB2-- the chocolate kind is my favorite, or you can add in 1 TBSP cocoa powder

    I was making this with 1 TBSP regular peanut butter before I discovered PB2. With the PB2, the whole thing is down around 300 calories.
