    1/2 cup frozen berries (whatever you like; I use a blend of raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries)
    1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
    1/2 cup milk (I use 2%; whatever your preference)
    1 scoop of whey protein isolate.

    I have that for breakfast just about every morning. About 270 calories, over 40g of protein.

    I really like green smoothies. This one is my favorite:

    1 c plain yogurt
    2 c raw baby spinach
    1 banana
    3/4 c frozen pineapple
    enough milk or cold water to get it to the desired consistency (usually about 1/2 a cup)

    I dont think I can get past putting spinach in with fruit. Just cannot wrap my head around it. Who knows maybe I will get brave one day.... until then

    1/2 cup light yogurt (vanilla or fruit depends on the mood)
    1 cup frozen berries, I prefer strawberries, hubby prefers blueberries
    1/2 cup lowfat or skim milk
    blend until smoothied

    1 cup Kale, 1 cup mixed berries (Costo sells a frozen mix that works great or fesh if you have it works just as well!), 1/2 cucumber, 1 cup pineapple, 1-2 tbsp almond milk. Tastes like I am cheeting and having a jamba juice. 320 calories, 64 carbs, 4g fat, 7g protein, 11g fiber.

    I drink this one every morning... so easy to make and drink while I get ready for work!

    2 cups of baby spinach
    1/2 banana
    4 fairly large frozen strawberries (I grab them out of a bag bought at Costco)
    1 tbsp flax seeds
    1 cup unsweetened almond milk

    With the strawberry and banana, you can't taste the spinach at all -- but it's so filling and healthy.

    You will not taste spinach and it will give you so much energy. I thought the same thing when my trainer told me to do this.

    These all sound yummy, would like to try some!

    In the mornings I make this smoothie

    1-frozen banana
    1/2 scoop chocolate slimfast
    1/2 TB peanut butter
    1 cup skim milk

    Tastes just like an ice cream shake but a little less than 300 calories- great for a breakfast on the run

    I felt the same way...and then had some of someone elses and was COMPLETELY surprised!!! In no way do you taste spinach. If it was a blind taste test you would have been fooled.
