    I love the Cake Batter smoothie from the blog Dashing Dish. It is low in calories but uses protein powder to keep you full. I never skip the sprinkles!

    You can put in anything you like. I make them every once in a while and make vegetables the main ingredient ...usually spinach or bell peppers. Then I add either a banana or some raspberries and some water or unsweetened almond milk. Add some ginger root for a little spicy kick and unflavored protein powder to keep me full.

    There are 100s of threads with Smoothie recipes on MFP, and Google has even more!

    My favorite:

    3/4 C water
    1 container Dannon Light & Fit 80-calorie Vanilla Greek yogurt
    1 C frozen kale (I buy a large container and just throw it in the freezer)
    1/2 C frozen blueberries
    1/2 frozen pineapple (but if pineapple affects you, you can leave it out)
    2 TBLS PB2
    1 scoop protein powder
    2 TBLS Bob's flax seeds

    It is so yummy! About 400 calories, give or take. I'd have to look, but if you enter each ingredient individually, MFP will calculate for you.

    I usually try some combination of strawberries, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, spinach, cucumber, carrots, greek yogurt, almond milk, and protein powder. I try to put in at least one berry, a banana, a green, and a protein source at a minimum. If I don't have fresh fruit I'll buy a big bag of frozen mixed fruit and use that.

    almond milk or skim milk, protein powder base, 1/2 avocado and lots of ice. Or really just the almond milk, lots of ice and protein powder. I like to freeze coffee in an ice cube tray and add that to my drinks. It makes it thicker, taste better and gives me a boost. I do this 2 times a day.
