Hi,
I often have smoothies for breakfast or lunch. Here are a couple of my favs.
Frozen banana, ripe mango and light van soy milk. Sometimes I add a powder called Spirutein (soy based), van flavor.
Or Frozen banana and ripe mango, a little soy milk or water and kale (a cup of leaves or more, no stems) I can leave the mango out of this and use two bananas.
Soy milk, carob powder and banana and a glob of almond butter, sometimes with the Spirutein.
Another smoothie I enjoy, especially after a workout is
an apple, a navel orange, some pineapple, a little juice or water to get it all going in the blender and a splash of lemon juice and frozen blueberries (about a 1/2 cup or more). I think this is good on its own but I usually add a large amount of fresh spinach to make it a green smoothie. The color goes from a pretty pinkish to ugly, though. If you leave out the blueberries, you just get a pretty green color.
I often add a T of ground flax seeds and/or 1/2 T of flax oil or hemp oil. The seeds are a good source of fiber and I can't remember all the good things about flax, but a little is good for the heart/lipid profile.

What I make depends on my mood, if I need it to hold me for awhile or if I am thirsty and hungry after a morning workout.
I am interested in hearing other's favorites as well.
