    Make them for my son and husband a lot! Mine are easy peasy:

    frozen banana
    frozen strawberries or frozen pineapple or frozen blueberries (none with sugar)
    vanilla low fat yogurt
    water


    If i want to make it a bit "heartier", I'll add nonfat milk!

    Frozen fruit works great and it lasts a long time in the freezer.

    I just had a really yummy one tonight, but it only has banana as a fruit in it. No spinach! Here's what I do:

    1 cup water
    1/8 cup half and half
    2 Tbsp Fifty 50 peanut butter (it's sugar free and has half the fat)
    1/2 banana (sliced and frozen for at least 2 hours)
    1 or 2 scoops of your favorite whey protein powder (I used chocolate)
    1 Tbsp sugar free fat free Jello instant banana cream pudding mix

    Blend until rich and creamy, then pour and enjoy!

    I use 2 scoops of the protein powder when I'm really low on protein for the day.

    Edited to correct a typo.

    Great Thread! New to mfp and smoothies. Seems like most smoothies use bananas but I'm highly allergic to them. What can I use instead?

    I love smoothies, but I am wondering if there are any that don't have any added sweeteners and that do have spinach incorporated? I would like to get some veggies and fruits if possible, in smoothie form. Thanks for any help! :bigsmile:
