    This is the easiest smoothie I have ever made.
    Ingredients:
    2 cups banana, chopped
    5 tablespoons Milo powder
    1 cup of ice
    1 cup milk

    This is a good energy booster and a great refreshing drink especially hot climates.

    I recently made a smoothie with just frozen mixed fruit, coconut milk and spinach. My kids and husband even loved it!

    These are great! I use the Costco fruit explosion base and mix with 2% milk (cup), 1 banana and sometimes substitute probiotic yogurt for some milk. Simple and I always have ingredients. Dying to try the others. Thanks.

    My favorite is a banana, a cup of unsweetened original almond milk, a carton of yogurt (usually vanilla - though other flavors work too), a dash of vanilla extract, and a tablespoon of peanut butter, plus maybe some crushed ice.

    My absolute favorite one is definitely a protein shake versus a smoothie but I use Syntha-6 Chocolate Peanut butter flavor protein powder, half a banana, some extra PB2, large handful of spinach, soy milk and ice. It would be a meal replacement but it really tastes like a Sonic milkshake. :)

    1/4C old fashioned oats, half a banana (frozen) 1 scoop double chocolate whey protein powder, 1T pb2 chocolate and 1C unsweetend original almond milk. It's one serving about 300 calories.

    My current favorite is 1/2 c. greek yogurt, banana, and either TBS of peanut butter or Nutella. Add a little water and some ice! Gets me going in the morning!

    I might have to try that

    I'm a big, big fan of using green smoothies as meal replacements. I have one every morning, and for the first two weeks in January, I replaced two meals (breakfast and dinner) with them everyday. It helped me a lot.

    My main squeeze:

    2 cups coconut water (this can get pricey, so I just use filtered water. Buy a Brita water pitcher for $10 instead of using bottled, or getting an expensive filtration system).
    2 cups of organic kale or spinach (if you can't afford organic, wash your greens with vinegar and water).

    1 frozen organic banana (it used to be two, but I was kind of worried about overdoing it on the sugar)

    1/2 frozen pineapple

    1/2 cup frozen mango

    1 tsp chia seeds

    1 tsp of bee pollen

    handful of fresh cilantro

    2 tbsp. ground flaxseed (DO NOT buy the packaged stuff. You're just wasting money by doing that. Not only do you not get your money's worth, but the pre-ground packaged stuff is not that fresh.) Buy a pound or two from the bulk section (it costs less than $3 per lb.), grind some in the blender, and keep it in the freezer.)

    I'm low on kitchen space so I have a food processor but not a blender. Are food processors able to handle these kinds of recipes?

    "Husky Purple Smoothie": vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, frozen blueberries, greek yogurt, and H2O
    I just use one serving of each, and water to liquefy
    (*) I have one almost every day! (*)

    Here's a Powerhouse Pineapple Shake from my Zumba book, it's Delicious: 1/2 avocado, 2c frozen pineapple, 16 oz. coconut water, and 2c. spinach or kale ( I use an Organic Powerhouse mixed greens blend) adding on my own, a dash of cinnamon, 2 tsp. milled flax, 1 tsp. chia seeds. This is a keeper and even my partner liked it as well :)
