Just bought a bag of baby spinach to throw in my protein shakes. Throw some good recipies at me! I try and keep them below 300, and absolutely below 350. I like pretty much everything! As of right now I only have chocolate peanut butter protein powder, but I'm willing to try a new flavor.

    Green Monster Spinach Smoothie


    1 frozen sliced banana
    1 Tablespoon peanut butter
    1/2 cup 0% Vanilla Chobani Greek yogurt
    1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze (or other kind of milk)
    4 cups baby spinach (or more, or less)

    Or for a REALLY low calorie version

    Thanks! That one with the peanut butter and the yogurt looks good. I need vanilla protein, I wanna do spinach, blackberries, vanilla protein and bluberries. I think it sounds so yummy! Oh, and pineapple. Gotta throw some pineapple in there. I wish those things were not so darn hard to cut up! :laugh:

    Maybe they mean their protein powder is pineapple flavoured?
