I am thinking i want to start making smoothies for breakfast. Can anybody share their favorite recipe?

One scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 cup frozen mixed berries, spinach and kale, 2 tbsp hemp hearts and water! So good!

1. Banana, peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, Greek yogurt, milk of your choice (I like cashew milk). 2. Frozen cherries, chocolate protein powder, yogurt and milk. 3. Kiwi, strawberries, vanilla powder, yogurt and milk. You can add spinach, flax, hemp, chia seeds ect to most smoothies without altering taste. I'm an experimenter and these are my go-to recipes!

Where do you buy your protein powder?

There are many kinds. I buy Vega brand from GNC in the mall. There is also Popeye's. You can also buy at Superstore, Walmart, Shoppers. It's not always necessary though. If you find you can get enough protein in from whole foods then go for it. Everyone has their opinions and tastes so I would just do a Google search about powders and see what comes up. I tend to go for the vegetable based proteins with the least amount of artificial sweeteners.

One banana mixed frozen fruit mixed frozen berries. Coconut oil hemp hearts chia seeds psyllium husk. Sometimes yogurt or peanut butter green apple banana peanut butter and the fillers is good too

This one might sound weird but I love it!  
 
1/2 avocado  
1/2 a med. cold banana  
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder  
1/4 cup almond milk  
Put all in a blender or Magic Bullet.  
Enjoy!

I don't measure my ingredients...  
 
But my favorite recipe is:  
 
Frozen peaches & mangoes  
Mango juice  
Flax Seed  
Vanilla Yogurt  
Ice

2 scoops VegaOne with greens Protein Powder  
about 1 cup coconut milk ( or 1/2 can if you buy that kind )  
1 banana  
1 -2 cups frozen berry blend  
 
water if necessary  
 
Makes enough for 2

Just watch the protein powder as it can cause health issues  
 
I have 2 I like -  
1.5 frozen banana, 1tbsp Cocoa, 1.5 tbsp PB, milk  
 
Frozen fruit, vanilla yogurt, dry quick cook oats, milk  
 
Basic, easy and yummy and more "real" type foods.

If you don't want to mess with protein powder, soak some rolled oats overnight and throw them into your smoothie mix. They add some bulk, nutrients, and keep you full for a long time.

for breakfast I have handful of spinach, scoop of ground flax, scoop of oats, a few scoops of chia pudding*, blend with milk to make smooth, then add flavoured greek yogurt, frozen banana and more milk if necessary. delicious and so filling.  
 
make chia pudding by putting a scoop of chia seeds in a small bowl and cover with milk. cover and leave in fridge overnight.
