Hi All
In an effort to get my morning breakfasts sorted, I want to give protein/oat based smoothies a go but I have no receipe ideas...anyone care to share?
I've got chocolate and vanilla based protein powders so anything that'd mix well with that?!
thanks so much....;-)

I use the Jay Robb Protein powder and just add 1 c. almond milk (unsweetened), 1/2 frozen banana and either blueberries or strawberries and sometimes a flax seed packet to the mix. Any variation of fruit would work. Anything you like. I have found that I prefer frozen fruits because the drink is alot colder.
I no longer have to throw bananas away because when they get to soft to eat I break them in half and freeze them for my shakes.0 -
My favorite is half a banana, a handful of spinach, 2 TBL of PB2 ( or peanut butter if you can spare the extra calories). The spinach can't be tasted at all.0

I do - 1 frozen banana, chocolate almond milk (I can't do soy or dairy), 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, 2 tbsp milled flax seed.
Lots of fiber, lots of protein, and it tastes like a milk shake!0 -
Bump for later0

My favorite thing to do is:
1/2 cup non-fat yogurt
1/2 cup skim milk (or almond milk for less calories!)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use dymatize elite whey protein isolate - it's just flat out delicious)
1 banana
1 full tray of ice cubes
THEN:
For strawberry banana:
add 3/4 cup strawberries
For cherry vanilla:
add 3/4 cup cherries
For mixed berry:
add 1/4 cup blueberries
1/4 cup raspberries
1/4 cup blackberries
1/4 cup strawberries
This makes a full blender of smoothie and is about 500 calories total - I split it up into 4 separate servings so me and my fiancé can each have two throughout the day. It holds up in the fridge super well (still icy several hours later!)0 -
I never thought of freezing the bananas and always have the same waste issue. Brilliant idea...thanks so much0
-
By 500 calories total - I mean 500 calories in the WHOLE blender - so 125 calories for each serving...just in case that wasn't clear!0

agree on the frozen bananas - gives the smoothies a great texture and don't need much if any ice.
quick and easy - frozen banana + chocolate soy milk
a little more effort - frozen banana + unsweetened soy milk + a little honey + a little vanilla0
