1 banana
1 cup skim or soy milk or a container of low cal fat free yogurt (vanilla or plain)
1 or 2 tbsp peanut butter
as much whey as you want- for me 1/2 a scoop which is 13 cos a whole scoop with these ingredients would me more protein than the body can absorb
a whole tray of ice, or as much as you want
i like to add a lot of ice cos it makes it a huge smoothie- more filling. sometimes i add fib assure too, and it keeps me full for a long time.
you can put whey in any smoothie and it tastes great- if you use vanilla it doesn't take away from the taste of the other things but adds a little bit of a sugary taste.
