    Half a avocado & unsweetened almond milk. Thick, smooth & taste great and helps get the good fats in.

    My smoothie today had 35 grams of protein and not a bit of protein powder.

    What was in it?!? That is an awesome amount of protein!

    4 oz whole milk kefir, 1 oz hulled hemp seed, 30 g PB2, 1 oz frozen berries, 1 banana, 60 g kale, and 2 scoops, about 16 actual grams, of Liv Fit - Superfood Blend With Protein, along with a random quantity of ice for volume.

    I first saw the Liv Fit - Superfood Blend With Protein at Wal-Mart last week in the baking goods section near the gluten-free flours. It's not really for baking, and it does suggest adding it to shakes and smoothies. The nutrition facts on the package says that 2 scoops is 12 grams, of which 6 grams are protein. However, 2 level scoops is 16 grams, so I got 7.5 g of protein.

    My smoothie was at breakfast. My Lunch is indeed a vegan protein powder in water along with a piece of bread with ~ 1 oz of banana spread on it.

    - Chocolate protein powder
    - 4 Berry Blend ->frozen (Strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry)
    - Spinach*
    - Flax Seed
    - Coconut water

    *Because cooked spinach is better for you than raw spinach (if you doubt this look it up) I steam spinach and portion it into frozen spinach pucks for my smoothies.

    Looks like you've gotten a lot of great suggestions, but here's another:

    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1/2 medium sweet potato (cooked, of course)
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1 cup unsweetened original almond milk
    1 tbsp chia seeds

    You know what, it is so funny that you use the Superfood, I was literally looking into buying that exact one from Liv Fit. So I should have just gone with my gut and bought it, but I will when I go back! Thanks :smiley:
