Yummy smoothie options?

I made a smoothie of sorts last night out of 1/2 cup skim milk, a banana and some Nutella and it was HEAVEN.

Anyone have any tried and true delicious recipes for smoothies? I'm looking to get another serving or 1/2 serving of calcium.

Also: anyone have any tips for good brands of frozen berries? I tried some once from Trader Joe's and was shocked to discover they didn't taste that good.

I used to make smoothies w/ protein powder, but you can do them w/o it also.

Chocolate one: choc protein powder, choc soy milk, ice, 1 banana, 1 T peanut butter, a little honey.

Vanilla one: vanilla protein powder, vanilla or plain soymilk, fresh berries (whatever kind), 1 banana, a little honey.  Instead of berries it was also yummy w/ pineapple or oranges.

OMG I have the stuff to make these, except for the protein powder. Maybe a tiny dash of vanilla extract for the vanilla one? Thank you so much!

for extra calcium, what about plain or vanilla yogurt?  It will make it thicker and it's still sweet.

I make smoothies with yogurt, calcium fortified OJ, protein powder, frozen berries, and usually a banana or whatever fruit is on the verge of over-ripe.

I use organic frozen berries b/c strawberries in particular take in immense amounts of pesticides.  I get whatever brand they have at my grocery store.

I use berries, OJ, fresh ginger and plain yogurt.  The ginger is especially tasty!

 And the pp who said she used milk, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter and a banana...DH adds a scoop of fat free frozen yogurt to that combo and it is DELICIOUS

Happy smoothie making!

I'm wondering about chocolate yogurt now, LOL. Mmmm. It has less sugars than Jello pudding, that's for sure.
