    I just discovered you can make "Orange Julius" at home. Recipe is delicious. I'm hooked!

    1 cup milk (I use skim)
    1 cup water
    1/2 cup sugar (I use Splenda instead)
    1 tsp vanilla (I use the real stuff not the artificial)
    6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate
    8 - 10 ice cubes.

    OMG!!!

    hmm, i might have to experiment with this one...

    All these recipes sound great! I highly advise freezing your bananas makes em thick and creamy and super cold without adding ice. And I just started adding spinach and was shocked at how you couldn't taste it at all. My new favorite add in!

    I'm addicted to what I call the green smoothie! It's a handful of baby spinach. About 5-6 frozen whole strawberries. 4 stevia packets. 1/2 cup frozen pineapple. 1 banana. Add some ice and water. Yum! About 185 calories per serving.

    Oooh, yummy, lots of good ideas!
    I've seen some variations of my fave, but it's: banana, 1 cup of frozen fruit (I like to do a combo of either peaches & mango or blueberries & strawberries), a couple of handfuls of spinach and a little water to blend. Can also add ice to make it super cold, but the frozen fruit makes it cold enough for me.

    My favorite, pineapple/peach/orange:

    1/2C frozen pineapple chunks
    1/2C frozen peach slices
    1/2C orange juice
    1/4C greek yogurt
    2T brown sugar
    Total: 269 calories, 64 carbs, 8g protein, 31 sodium, 0 fat, 56 sugar.

    These are approximate amounts used to calculate it, but I usually just eyeball it. I prefer to use vanilla yogurt for better flavor. Sometimes I add some nutritional suppliments as well. Brown sugar added to taste, mostly to cover up suppliments. Very creamy and delicious! (Note: I never add ice to smoothies. Ick.)

    Edit: If you leave out the brown sugar, it's only 165 calories and 29 sugar.

    1 cup frozen fruit (I usually buy Dole Tropical blend, but I've used others as well)
    1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
    1/2 cup milk (I use 1%, but use whatever you normally have on hand)
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Muscle Milk Light Vanilla Creme)

    Yesterday I made one with a banana, scoop of whey, tbsp of apple butter, 1/2 tbsp honey. Today it's a banana, an avocado, 1/2 tbsp honey, and whey. I'm gonna have to try some of the recipes you guys posted, though!

    I do 1/2 C frozen unsweetened strawberries
    1/2 C vanilla yogurt ( you can substitute other flavors such as strawberry if desired)
    1/2 C OJ
    Blend - makes about 2 cups of smoothie - I have cut it all down to 1/3 C each -if you need additional sweetner 1 tsp Splenda works well.
