You can omit the protein powder if you like on either of those but I like the added protein.

That was Jennifermaria. I tried it yesterday, too, and agree it was quite good! Never thought to get spinach in that way.
Thanks for the add'l recipes, everyone.

I don't do anything fancy, but here are some basic 'recipes' for smoothies I've made. Feel free to substitute any fruits you wish:
Glass (= "Magic Bullet" blender cup) of chocolate soy milk, handful of frozen blueberries, handful of baby spinach. (optional additions: chunk of frozen banana, Tbsp ground flax or chia seed).
Glass of plain or vanilla milk of choice (soy, rice, hazelnut, almond, etc), handful of frozen mixed berries, squeeze of agave nectar, scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Glass of chocolate soy milk, 1/2 frozen banana, scoop of maca powder (optional scoop or 1/2 scoop of chocolate protein powder).
Glass of chocolate soy milk + 1 package frozen açaí pulp (thawed: it works best to take the frozen pulp from the wrapper and let it thaw in the glass, to not waste any of it), optional squeeze of agave nectar.
Note: I never use ice in my smoothies because 1) the frozen fruit makes it cold enough for me, 2) I don't like to dilute them. If I get to the bottom of the glass and there's thick stuff at the bottom, I'll swish it with some rice milk or water.
