    Keeping 1 cup of greens is a good start if you're not in to the 'green taste'. I usually stick to spinach or kale. Let us know how it goes!!!

    A banana is key. Also, I like either cinnamon, cocoa powder, or both.
    For protein use soy or cow milk or chia seeds.

    I can't remember the site this recipe came from, but it's pretty good...can be a lil thick, so you may want to play with the milk to fit your taste.
    1 c almond milk
    1 scoop vanilla protein shake
    1 c spinach
    1 c pineapple chunks
    1 c banana
    1/2 avocado (optional)
    1 tbsp chia seeds
    3 or 4 ice cubes

    Apple, avocado, spinach, soy milk, vanilla, honey. Varying amounts depending on calorie goals. Usually I use half avocado and half a small apple. About 15 grams of honey and about 30-50 grams of spinach. I also use only about 100 grams soy milk and the rest water.

    It's delicious and refreshing but it's something I consider more of a treat as it's high in calories considering it's not filling at all :/

    For a tasty and higher calorie bonus, add almond butter.

    I tried collards with apple and banana, was really awful :cry: probably because I used a large amout of collards :lol: wish I'd seen this sooner
    Thanks!

    Sounds good, thanks! :star: what can I use in place of chia seeds? Or can i omit them all together?

    Thank you so much :smiley:
    Are avocadoes good in smoothies? I find they taste bland when used on their own :pensive:
