    Feel free to check my diary. I make a breakfast smoothie every morning. You can up the protein with more kefir or add a protein powder, I use liquid egg whites. You just need a good whole food blender, Nutribullet, Blendtec or Vitamix. I have a Blendtec.

    Love my morning smoothies! They are my go to when I'm working. Typically 1 scoop of protein powder, chia seeds & milk are the base and may add frozed berries, unsweetened cocoa powder or coffee powder. I always measure too so this helps with calorie intake.

    I can't stand any protein powder, so I opt for greek yogurt instead. I usually use unsweetened juice or almond milk, a small banana, frozen fruit...varies every time and loads of spinach!!

    I love my Ninja single serve cups! Smoothie every morning for roughly 250 cal. My go to recipe: 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1 cup frozen fruit, 1/2 banana, 20g kale, and water. For tropical fruit I add 1 tbsp coconut flakes, otherwise I add 1-2 tbsp PB2.

    I make a smoothie every work day - using Bolthouse Farms Mango Protein juice, 1 banana, berries of choice & about 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. Delicious, you can use any juice but be careful of the sugars and try not to use a lot! Hope this helps!

    Smoothie base: 1/2 cup Greek, plain non fat yogurt & 1 cup Almond Breeze, Unsweetened Vanilla almond milk.

    I then add frozen berries/fruit and a Crystal Light Energy packet (Citrus, Strawberry or Peach Mango).
    Great combos: * Strawberries, Raspberries (frozen), Crystal light Citrus
    * Strawberries (frozen), banana, wild strawberry crystal light
    *Peaches (canned or snack cup size, no sugar added) Crystal Light Peach
    Mango, a few ice cubes

    You can also take a look at my recipes for a whole bunch of smoothie recipes.

    1 cup heavy whipping cream
    1/2 cup frozen strawberries
    1 large egg
    1/2 cup Kellog's Bran Buds

    If you blend it too much you have to eat it with a spoon. We're trying to put weight on one of my grandkids. He loves it.
