    This is the best ever! And I'm not big on smoothies...

    Makes 1 1/2 servings (ideal to split with someone)

    Big handful spinach
    1/2 banana
    2 TBSP peanut butter
    scoop of vanilla whey protein
    3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
    3 handfuls of ice

    Blend on high. You don't taste the spinach at all!

    Approx: 411 calories, 25 g carbs, 21 g fat, 32 g protein (for entire shake, should share)!!

    I always used to drink smoothies I totally forgot about them! I have these frozen mix packet things by SOL BLISS they are 80 calories and i think there delicious.

    I also just typed in smoothies for under 100 calories because that's how i usually want them but if your looking for higher calories just type that, I found this one it sounds good:

    1/4 lb of strawberries, the juice and zest of 1/4 orange and 1/8 cup of plain low-fat yogurt. Place the strawberries, orange juice, zest and yogurt into a blender and mix until it is smooth. Serve in a tall glass for a total of about 55 calories. For a few extra calories, add a few banana slices to the top of the smoothie, suggests Reader's Digest.

    Peach smoothie

    1 cup frozen peaches
    3/4 C Tropican 50 Orange juice OR Genesis Today Omega Orange Juice
    2 Tblspoons Greek Yogurt

    (163 Calories--I used the Omega Orange Juice)

    I put it in my Ninja Food Prep that I got at Wal-Mart for $40. Peaches first, then OJ. Blend. Add yogurt and splenda, blend until smooth.

    Another variation if you want more protein: CURRENTLY MY FAVORITE

    1 C frozen peaches
    1/2-3/4 C Tropican 50 Orange juice OR Genesis Today Omega Orange Juice
    1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder

    (228 Calories)

    If I'm short of veggies for the day, I'll throw in some raw spinach (about a 1/2-3/4 cup). I've done that more when I've used frozen strawberries in place of the peaches.

    If you use frozen bananas (peel and slice before you freeze), you can get away without using ice and it makes it insanely creamy. I just had a plain greek yogurt and frozen banana smoothie for breakfast and it was delicious!

    1 cup any frozen fruit
    1 6 oz greek yogurt, any flavor
    Either 1/2 skim milk or one snack cup mandarin oranges in light syrup

    Blend together & viola--delicious!!! The oranges make for a sweeter treat. Add protein powder for a thicker shake-like consistancy. Enjoy!!!

    I'm a bit of a naturalist, so this is how I make my smoothies:

    (1) apple, any kind - if its on the small side, put in two, chopped, cored, with skin
    (1) cup plain nonfat yogurt
    (1) pear, any kind - if its on the small side, put in two, chopped, cored, with skin
    (3/4) cup fresh pomegranate seeds: i squeeze the juice from the pit (white tiny dot in middle removed) {you can substitute this for any other fruit, i use one large grapefruit, or sometime fruit juice}
    (1/4) cup skim milk
    (1) tiny squeeze of lemon juice (so that the fruit doesnt go brown easily)

    Blend until completely mixed... enjoy!

    This makes about two large glasses - i normally share :)

    It comes out about 180 calories a glass.
