Currently for breakfast have been doing this smoothie to get my greens in and it's pretty tasty, but looking for some other ideas. Today's smoothie came to 175 calories:

1 large handful Costco Kale & Spinach mix
1 cup Silk Cashew Milk Unsweetened
1 frozen banana
2 tbs. PB Fit
1 tsp. Blue Agave

    I've been doing cucumber, melon, kale, raspberries, and plain (basically flavorless) protein powder, with some ice. It ends up a pretty green color despite the raspberries.

    Mine is
    12 oz almond milk
    1 T almond butter
    Chocolate vegan protein powder
    2 cups of spinach
    1/2 c frozen blueberries

    I buy fresh spinach or greens and freeze them that way I don't need ice and my greens don't go bad before I use them.

    That's a great idea about freezing your fresh greens. I didn't realize you could do that.

    mine:

    half a cup of chocolate milk 2 go sport
    2 tablespoons of mocha flavoured instant coffee powder
    a scoop of berry flavoured protein powder
    a banana
    half a cup of whatever frozen fruit/berry mix I currently have

    sometimes I don't have bananas and then I'll do a full cup of the frozen fruit instead

    I'm currently drinking this right now :
    Orgain Organic Protein - plant based powder, 2 rounded scoops
    Simple Truth Organic - Vanilla Almond Milk, 0.5 cup
    Kirkland - Costco - Three Berry Mix, 0.5 cup
    Wholesome Garden - Organic Baby Spinach, 42.5 g (guesstimate on that one)
    Total: 215 calories, and 24g protein. :yum:

    I buy 2.5 lbs of fresh spinach at Costco for $4.29. Very cheap for how much you get!

    Both are also currently extremely available fresh (no need to go to walmart), which is how I prefer them. I'm also pretty sure walmart is not the exclusive purveyor of frozen greens.

    Just a banana on it's own can be 100-120 calories. Plus almond milk, powdered pb, the kale, agave...can't imagine it being 175 calories.

    Yes, and the cashew milk another 60, the PB fit another 65, another 20 for the agave. Unless this makes 2 smoothies?
