Fruit smoothie recipes please-no yogurt or milk-please provide nutritionals?

I use one cup of frozen fruit - my favorite is mixed berries with cherries, a scoop of soy protein or whey protein powder, two packets of splenda and about a cup of liquid (usually sugar free lemonade or a flavored water). Comes out to 235 calories, 52 g carbs, 1 gr fat and 21 gr protein. If you don't want to use splenda or sugar free drinks you can use a cup of juice but you need to add the calories and carbs of that juice to the calorie count.





Other combos I like - frozen mangos and peaches! I am not a big banana fan, so I don't use them in my smoothies. If you are allergic to dairy do not use whey protein but if you are just looking for something not creamy the whey protein tastes better than the soy protein.Fruit smoothie recipes please-no yogurt or milk-please provide nutritionals?
Add whatever fruit you want to use, some fruit juice, a few icecubes, and a little sugar if you want it.


make sure you blend the ice first and then add the other ingredients so that it's smooth.
