Getting started with smoothies in the morning and can use something simple that obviously doesn't taste bad. Any ideas?

The one I started with was:
  • Frozen Mango
  • Banana
  • Greek Vanilla Yogurt
  • 1/2 Avocado or Oats
  • Mango Juice
  • 6 Ice cubes

THANKS!!

    I use a protein shake, similar to Shakeology, in chocolate flavor. Do one scoop of that, 1 cup of unsweetened Almond Milk and a handful of ice cubes and it's fantastic.

    I like this one my friend gave me, very refreshing and packed with good stuff :)

    1cup spinach
    squeeze of lemon juice
    1/2 cup frozen/fresh blueberries
    1/2 cup frozen/fresh pineapple
    basil leaves
    1/2 cup cucumber
    3/4 cup water or 1 cup ice cubes.

    makes 2 servings, add anything else you like but the cals will change.

    works out to about 70cal a serving from what i can see on mfp,

    Here is my quick go-to recipe for smoothies:

    1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
    8 oz Vanilla Almond Milk
    6 oz cup of Dannon Light & Fit Yogurt
    1 splenda packet (if desired)

    I put all of the above ingredients into my Magic Bullet and blend it. If desired, you can use fresh fruit. The frozen fruit gives it that thick, milkshake consistency. If you use fresh fruit, you may want to throw some ice cubes in to thicken it up.

    This makes 1 serving at 195 calories.

    My morning smoothie was 2 cups spinach (or spinach/kale mix), 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, blueberries or a banana (about 1/2 cup), some cinnamon ... and occasionally some flax seed. Tastes great!

    My go to smoothie is half a banana, Greek yogurt, berries at the moment I'm using strawberries and blueberries and some spinach couple of ice cubes and water if I want it sweet as the Greek yogurt I use is very tangy I add a few drops of liquid stevia some times I add some low cal coco powder to to change it up.

    Cashew Milk
    Cottage Cheese
    Protein Powder
    Berries/Bananas
    Kale

    You can't tell it's cottage cheese and you get added protein. I also like to make a milkshake version where you add a bit of xantham gum and omit the kale. It's super thick and lower calories.
