    Currently chocolate soy protein powder, 1/2 avocado, small banana mixed with water is my breakfast. Makes a nice thick creamy chocolaty smoothie. Surprisingly filling.

    Would like to make a big green veg one for the mornings but I'm a bit limited with just having chocolate flavor protein in the house.

    Sounds nice!, does the protein powder help get you fit? I'm not currently using protein powder but thinking it may help?
    That's what I am wanting to try a green blast! But not sure it would taste so great.

    Do you only have one a day for you breakfast?

    I do a simple smoothie if I'm in a rush for breakfast, but not often because it doesn't seem to stay with me.

    Banana
    Bluebonnet Double acting Protein powder - French Vanilla
    3/4 cups 2% lactaid milk
    1 packet of Truvia

    I have been soaking 1/2 cup oats, 1tbs unsweetened cocoa powder and 1tsp cinnamon in 1 cup soy milk over night I'm the refrigerator (not necessary but softens oats) and freezing a banana. Blend it together in the morning. I freeze half and have it the next morning. It's kind of like a Mexican chocolate thing. I really like it :)

    this keeps me full for breakfast until my next snack or meal:

    Unsweet Vanilla Almond Milk
    Justin's almond butter
    Banana
    blackberries


    I would like to use protein powder, but I have not found one that taste good and falls into the category of being low in sugar/sub.sugar/and bad fillers...any suggestions? So for now I use the Almond unsweet vanilla milk.

    I'm surprised to see some people put 1/2 avocado in a smoothie. That seems like a ton of calories to me, even though it has some health benefits. My smoothie is

    1/4 cup dry old fashioned oats
    Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    Organic protein powder
    Frozen berries and
    PB 2

    A good protein powder is Terras Whey. They have organic choices and I think it tastes great. I'm currently using an organic hemp protein which is much less tasty but has more fiber.

    1/4 cup quick oats (I grind them in blender to make a powder before I add the rest of the ingredients and blend)
    1/4 cup frozen blueberries
    6-8 frozen strawberries
    1tbs natural peanut butter
    1/2 cup skim milk

    It tastes like PBJ and the oatmeal and PB keep me full!

    My mom and I have been using the green smoothie book, and I've finally tweaked my recipe where it works and is delicious!

    2 handfuls greens (I use organic spinach and kale)
    1.5 cups water
    1 cup ice
    1 frozen banana
    1/2 cup frozen blueberries (sometimes I swap out for raspberries)
    1/4 cup almond milk
    1/2 cup protein powder (I use designer whey vanilla)
    And a tsp of organic ground flax seed

    This makes enough for two smoothies, but I've found if you half it it doesn't taste as good. So I put it in the fridge and ice it over for breakfast on day 2. Stay full and energized until lunch! (About 5 hours)

    Mine at the moment:

    4 oz plain greek yogurt
    6 oz skim milk
    100g banana
    100g pineapple
    140g frozen mixed fruit
    30g baby spinach
    100g celery



    Protein powder increases your protein. It only "helps you get fit" in the same way that any other food does-- if it helps you meet your calorie/macro goals then it's helping you get fit. If it doesn't do either then it doesn't. I use Trutein-- tastes awesome.

    I actually don't like avocado but I love this new smoothie recipe..

    1/2 avocado
    1 Apple
    Blueberries
    Lemon juice
    Vanilla Greek yogurt
    Handful of spinach.

    The avocado really contributes in keeping me full until lunchtime.

    What are the total calories in these smoothies?
