@ginpene05 , the other one varies in ingredients, depending on one's tastes and mood and need for calories and fiber. I generally start with a banana and a cup or so (more or less depending on how thick you like your smoothies) of milk (cow or soy or coconut or almond). Then I add some or all of the following, blend it up, and call it a meal! It's pretty tasty...

1/2 avocado (great for calories and creaminess and feeling full, and weirdly tasty in a smoothie)

Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (with live cultures)--fat-free or full-fat, depending on your needs--roughly 1/4 cup

Tablespoon or so of peanut butter

Tofu (about 1/5th of a cake, plain)--more protein and calcium and texture!

Protein powder of your choice

Vanilla

Handful of fresh spinach (for iron--looks weird, but you really don't taste it)

About 1/4 cup rolled oats

Berries or other fruit (I've been buying bags of frozen fruit so stuff doesn't go bad)

Of course, you can add your own variations!

If you keep everything on hand at home, it takes like 5 minutes to throw together, and it tastes better and is cheaper than Ensure, etc.
