    If you want to use a protein shake as a meal replacement, I'd suggest cutting the fruit in half (or not, depending on your daily calorie allotment)and adding a tablespoon or two of nut butter. Works well with fruit and will add some healthy fats to keep you full longer. ;)

    It's true that most smoothies you'd purchase at a fast food place or a 'smoothie place' are full of sugar. At some of the places that specialize in smoothies, you can ask them to not add any sugars and to add some protein powder(which costs a nominal fee) to make it a better choice.
