    Milk of choice (I use soy or almond), canned pure pumpkin, pure vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, 1/2 a frozen banana and 2 big handfuls of spinach (can't taste it don't worry and it makes it a beautiful green color!) This tastes like Pumpkin Pie!

    This sounds great. Do you have the measurements for the milk & pumpkin, as well as the number of servings? I only ask because I cook for one, and don't want to make too much if it can't be stored or frozen.

    I use about 1/2 C. almond milk, 1/2 C. pumpkin, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1.5 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 1/2 tsp. ginger, 1/2 a medium banana and probably about 2 C. spinach, then 5-10 ice cubes and blend! Makes one nice large smoothie :)

    Chocolate Mint Get your Greens On Smoothie

    1 big handful of kale (can do a handful of kale and a handful of spinach!)
    1 frozen banana
    1 handful of frozen strawberries
    1 partially filled tablespoon of sugar
    1-3 tsp sugar (depends on how sweet you need it to be!)
    a small handful of mint leaves
    1 tbsp cocoa powder
    optional: 1 tsp benefiber powder, 2 tbsp flaxseed meal, can add protein powder

    It's a chocolate mint shake with the dark leafy greens you need! I only do just kale or kale with spinach, because just spinach leaves a funny dirt aftertaste.

    i looked up some high protein low carb smoothie recipes, my favorite is 6 oz almond breeze unsweetened milk. 1 scoop vanilla protein powder. 1-2 tbsp of flax seed meal a package of artificial sweetner . a few frozen blueberries and ice. i put it in blender for about 30-45 seconds, and it comes out like a milkshake!! frozen strawberries are great too!

    Super Yummy and Super Nutritious:

    1. 1/2 cup frozen berry blend (they have these at Target, Trader Joes, Whole Foods) includes blueberries, rasberries, and blackberries, some also have strawberries. Gives me antioxidants
    2. 1 cup water
    3. 1 scoop Amazing Grass Green Superfood Chocolate Powder (full of great stuff and I like the taste)
    4. 1/2 banana (not the whole banana to avoid too much sugar)
    5. 1/4 scoop Jay Robb Protein powder chocolate

    Blend and Enjoy!

    151 calories. 29 carbs, 1 fat, 10 protein, 15 sugar (less banana would mean less sugar), 9 fiber. Double everything to make 2 servings .

    Hope you like it!
