Shakeology=bad, need smoothie recipes please!

https://dashingdish.com/recipe/key-lime-pie-protein-shake/

I've made this one numerous times and it's amazing every time!
When I make it it's around 330 calories (150 for protein powder, 100 for 2% cottage cheese, 35 for 1/2 a graham cracker (optional) and and optional 30 I add 2 tsp of brown sugar. I don't really worry about the few leaves of spinach I throw in and the lime juice cals. Would also be good with a spritz of whipped cream on top!

Here are some good ones...

Green Monster
2 c fresh spinach (I used organic)
1T flax seed ground
1 - 1.5 c milk
1 banana
Put flax then spinach then banana then milk in blender (the weight holds down spinach) and blend on high 1 minute. Add ice and put on ice setting. Enjoy!

Protein Shake from Dashing Dish
Base for Shake:
1/2 cup FF Cottage Cheese (or 1 Cup Reduced Fat Greek Yogurt)1
1 scoop Protein powder (something that has around 100 calories per scoop - I love Designer Whey™ Protein Powder)
1-3 splenda
5-10 Ice cubes (depending on how thick you like it, use less for a thinner consistency)
1/2-1 cup water (alter this according to desired consistency)
Cottage cheese may sound strange, but TRUST me… this is what makes the ‘MILKSHAKE’ consistency! Also, if you are sensitive to dairy, you can use tofu to get the same consistency!

This has several recipes that you could tweak that don't contain any powdered protein mix.

After some convincing from a coworker, I joined Beachbody last month. I have free access to all workouts for a year, and I received a free month of Shakeology. So I love the workouts, and the Shakeology tastes decent, but I am getting "horrible side effects". Looked at the ingredients, and it has chicory root fiber, which after research I found out it can give certain people "horrible side effects".

So my question - I like the idea of having my shake after a workout, instead of cooking breakfast. I need some good, uncomplicated smoothie recipes to replace the Shakeology.

TIA!!

Have you tried or heard of Keto OS/MAX?

I make a breakfast smoothie a few times a week. I put in 1/2 cup homemade almond milk, 1 banana, 2 tbsp. ground peanut butter (just the peanuts nothing else) and .5-1 tsp of unsweetened cocoa. If you want a sweeter taste, just use regular organic peanut butter spread (that has some oil and sugar in it),

My favorite tastes like a peanut butter and jelly

6 oz unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop plain plant protein
1 small handful raw spinach
1/2 c berries of your choice
1 tbsp almond butter
squirt of vanilla extract
a few shakes of cinnamon
ice

I drink this daily and from reviews I've read this is highly comparable to shakeology.

My fav is 1 cup frozen raspberries, 1/2 cup chocolate almond milk and 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder. Tastes like a chocolate raspberry milkshake. My dietitian advised a non-milk, non-soy diet thus the whey and almond milk.

For breakfast: I have a single server coffee maker. I rehydrate the coconut by putting it in my mug and brewing the coffee on top of it. I do this the night before. I let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes, then add a few ice cubes, and put it in the frig. In the AM I add the chia seeds and protein powder, for a very fast, filling, and low calorie breakfast that also tastes yummy.

In the winter I just let it sit long enough for the coffee to cool to a point where the protein powder won't congeal.

Yesterday was a double smoothie day:

Four scoops of dymatize ISO 100, some water, my own tears because food is just fuel now.
100 grams of protein 5 carbs 7 grams of pure sadness.
Take 30 seconds to make.
