Happy Summer!
I was just wondering what are some of everyone's favorite ideas for smoothies. So far, I've made just the shakes but I was wondering what are some special smoothies that others might make when the weather starts getting hotter.

Oh.. That sounds gooooood... I've only made the shakes too.. I'd love to hear some tried and true favorites..

Mine comes from the cookbook
1 vanilla meal replacement shake (I use the powder one)
1 Orange concentrate HNS
12 oz diet tangerine sode (I use diet orange)
Ice and water to taste.

Blend the crud out of it. let it sit for a bit (it's very fizzie). They call it a creamsicle - I call it heaven! It does replace one meal and a clear HNS.

I have this every morning for breakfast - keeps you full:

3/4 cup skim milk
3/4 cup ice
fresh strawberries
1 fresh banana
1 scoop designer whey chocolate protein powder

I have a questions about the whey protein powder. Do you count that as a clear or a creamy?
The recipe looks great.

MY FAVORITE! Been doing this everyday for lunch lately:
Based on your menu:
Mixed fresh berries ( Strawberry, blackberries, raspberry, blueberries)
Lemon HNS
1 cup Ice
1/4 - 1/2 c Diet Cherry 7-up ( give or take for consistency)

I bought a smoothie maker that crushes the ice perfectl! Back to Basics from Walmart.
ADDICTED to it.....YUMMY.
