Hey guys, so I wanted to make breakfast smoothies before my morning walk. I need some good recipes. With protein incorporated. I'm allergic to kiwi though.

    My favorite:
    1 scoop of protein powder of choice: I use vega sport vanilla
    1/2 cup egg whites
    1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    Handful of spinach
    1 cup frozen mixed berries
    Liquid stevia to sweeten, I like vanilla cream or English toffee
    Ice
    Blend together!
    If super think I add a little water
    High in protein, low in calories and very filling

    You can play around with berries and protein flavored to make different combos

    Frozen mango + a dollop of yogurt + two large handfuls baby spinach + a splash of orange juice + vanilla protein powder. Oh and a dash of cinnamon. Add water to loosen as needed. The mango/spinach combo is amazingly good, and really healthy.

    My recent discovery/fave:
    1/2 container silken tofu
    1 large frozen banana
    1 tablespoon cocoa powder
    1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
    1/4 cup dry oats
    1/4 to 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    Water as needed if too thick
    Touch of raw honey if you like it sweeter

    This makes two servings. About 185 per serving, filling and tasty.

    This is great. I just got a bag of baby spinach, so it's convenient as well.

    Every morning my husband and I drink a smoothie :)
    You can split this recipe in two as it is intended for two people:

    1 cup whole milk (or yogurt)
    1 cup frozen blueberries
    1 cup frozen strawberries
    2 ripe bananas
    blend in a vitamix or blender

    YUMMY!!!

    Here are 2 of my favs:

    Chocolate/PB/Banana Smoothie
    1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk
    1/2 cup water
    1/2 banana
    1 tbps of peanut butter
    1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
    1 handful of greens (spinach, chard, rapini, baby kale etc.)
    Optional: A 1/2 tsp of any of the following: chia/flax/hemp seeds, collagen powder, turmeric, a superfood powder etc.


    Butterfinger Shake
    1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk
    1/2 cup water
    1 tbsp peanut butter
    1 tbsp butterscotch instant pudding mix
    1 scoop chocolate protein powder
    1 handful of greens

    Blend in a Nutribullet with a couple of ice cubes. Both tastes really good like a chocolate shake and I can't taste the greens or the optional items.

    Sometime I make fruit based smoothies, but I'm thoroughly enjoying eating all of the summer fruits that are in season right now!!!

    Good luck!

    I second the chocolate/PB smoothie, I use unsweetened soy milk and add raw cocao powder. Also really good with a shot of espresso if you like coffee.

    Baby spinach, low fat kefir (liquid yogurt-ish, plain un sweetened has 10.5 grams a serving - one cup...but start out with less because the stuff is TANGY), a dash of honey and frozen berries. You can add protein powder if you like, but I usually just add the kefir & PB 2 for my protein.

    1 Frozen Banana
    1 Cup Dark Chocolate Almond Milk
    1 Serving of Chocolate Syrup (optional)

    1.5 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries)
    1 scoop chocolate protein powder
    Water

    Total is 225 cal/serving, I drink one every day on my way to work.
