    i had a smoothie this morning for breakfast!

    8 oz 1%milk
    6 oz plain greek yogurt
    3/4-1 c fresh strawberries
    1 scoop Careone vanilla whey protein powder (yes, it's a generic brand :-) )

    Place in tall container & use blending wand to mix up. Yields about 16oz of smoothie and is 373 calories. Of course less yogurt & less milk will lower cals.

    Yum!!

    1 cup chocolate almond milk
    1/2 cup strawberries
    1/2 cup bananas
    1/2 150g container of banana tofu dessert.

    I blend this and split it with my wife...150 cal each but tastes like 4 times that.

    I have a smoothies everyday after I work out.Yesterday was 1 cup frozen blueberries ,1 cup of Cranberry with lime juice (Ocean Spray), 2 scoop of Vi Shape protein. Today 1 cup of Dole frozen pineapple, 1cup Cranberry with line juice and 2 scoop of Vi Shape protein. When the Vi Shape is gone I will change to a protein. This use as my lunch also I prefer to use fruit juice to milk or water.

    I got it at Giant (I live in the DC metro). I think that brand is also sold at CVS. But you can also get a big container of protein powder at target (again, i usually go generic).

    happy shakin :-D

    OK, this may NOT be what you're looking for....but as a busy, busy mom of 4 I found a "dole shaker" at the store and grabbed it since it was just 2 points for WW, you add juice and shake. I got light v8 fusion and totaled 3 points. It was YUMMY and all you do is pour in the juice and shake! Way better than I thought it would be!

    I like to start with unsweetened vanilla or chocolate almond milk in smoothies and then I add ingredients from there.

    I'm right there with you....I hear tofu and I shiver a bit.....until I tried it a couple different ways.
    it's banana flavour so all you taste is banana, and it's really creamy.

    I have a protein smoothie everyday for breakfast. I use vanilla and chocolate whey usually. Sometimes I throw some Casein chocolate in if it might be a little while before I eat again. I love to use frozen fruit, yogurt which I freeze. I use flax seeds, chia seeds and steel cut oats, among other things, sometimes. I just love to get creative with it. Try what ever suits your individual tastes. I make a Pina Colada one with frozen pinapple and coconut milk with a little water and ice for consistency.

    This is more of a milkshake recipe, but its very high in protein
    The base:
    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1 scoop protein powder
    1-3 packets stevia/truvia
    5-10 ice cubes
    1/2-1 cup water

    Add to it any combo of stuff like berries, fruit or pudding mix and you have an endless list of milkshakes that have about 37g of protein :)

    I make smoothies all the time, my favorite is a snickers smoothie!

    1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
    1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder
    1 tbsp of low fat peanut butter
    1 tbsp sugar free caramel ice cream topping
    6 oz unsweetened almond milk
    6-8 cubes of ice

    whizz it all up in a blender and hey presto, delicious meal replacement. The unsweetened almond milk is yummy and has way less calories than milk, plus no sugar!

    hope you like it!

    I eat the following for breakfast most mornings:

    1/2 c. Cabot Greek Yogurt - Vanilla Bean
    4 large frozen strawberries
    1/2 c. frozen blueberries
    1/2 medium banana, raw
    1 tbsp. 100% ground flaxseed
    1/4 c. Tropicana Trop 50 orange juice

    blend together. May need more juice depending on how thick it is. It is 270 calories.

    Note - I buy the large bags of frozen strawberries and blueberries at Costco
