    I usually do 1/2 cup of frozen berries, water, protein powder, and voila! :-)

    1 cup frozen berries (i like raspberries), 1 banana, 1/2 scoop protein powder, ice, and water. I find that the milk-based smoothies are too rich for me.

    :)

    The ones I make are

    150g of frozen fruit (red summer fruits or black forest fruits)
    2 low fat fruit yogurts
    100ml skimmed milk

    This makes about 3 smoothies and each is about 150 cals approx

    Reminds me I need to make one tonight lol x

    I use 1/2 cup skin milk and 1/2 cup nonfat yogurt then add whatever fruit I think sounds good! I'll add some peanut butter or protein powder if I want some extra protein.

    Pineapple (frozen) and strawberry (fresh) about half of each. I add a little water for texture and a little sugar to get the right taste back. You could use sweetener instead of course.

    I actually put a recipe out there - call it Deb's fruit smoothie. It is real easy and good:

    8 oz 1% milk
    1 container low fat vanilla yogurt
    frozen fruit - 1 cup (give or take)

    blend all together. I'll also throw in coconut or nutmeg and different spices to change it up. very filling and delicious, especially in the summer.

    1 c. milk (low fat)
    1 ripe banana
    Blend, then add 3 large frozed strawberries and blend until very thick. Sometimes I add a packet of Sun Crystals.

    8oz Silk coconut milk
    1/2 - full banana (I prefer frozen)
    1-2 handfuls of fresh spinach
    plus any other fruit you want - I mix it up so I'm not having the same thing every day
    pineapple, strawberries, peaches, etc -- just one or a combo if you're feeling frisky

    I like all my fruit frozen so the smoothie has a thick milk shake consistency. And if your mornings are as hectic as mine, I found that investing in a Cuisinart mixer was well worth it! You blend the smoothie in the cup you drink from, remove the blade attachment, and put on a travel lid. Love it!!
