Post your favorite Morning Smoothie Recipes

Please Post your favorite Morning Smoothie Recipes.
 
I like a protein smoothie in the morning.  I started this when I read that an active person should have a gram of protein for every lbs they weight.  My smoothies are of the following variation:
 
In a 48oz blender (enough for 2-24oz smoothes)
* Start with 12oz to 24oz  or water or milk.
* Pulse-Blend 4 scoops of protein powder (2 scoops = ~100grams of protein) Chocolate or Vanilla.
* Pulse-Blend 1 to 4 bananas or whole load of frozen blueberries.  Sometimes strawberry jam.
* Sometimes mash potato mix (for cabs and potassium).  I usually microwave some in a coffee cup to a soupy mixture.
* Sometimes sour cream.  For Slow burning calories from fat.
* Sometimes Ginkgo and Ginseng to wake my brain up.
* Sometimes some honey or cane sugar.  
Finish  with enough ice cubes to fill up the blender.  I set on the max (liquefy setting) and stop as soon as they are crushed.
 
I don't like alot of air whipped into the mix so I blend as little as possible with the pulse button. Accept for ice cubes!  I purchased cups with matching plastic covers and straws from Sam's Cub so that I can sip on the smoothie on the way to work.  I can cover the second smoothie and  save it in the frig for latter.  Smiley

8 oz rice milk
2 ice cubes
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 banana
2 tablespoons cherry juice concentrate
 
Good stuff.

Here is a Link to Gregs morning Breakfast Protein Smoothie you might need to wait through a commercial before the "Blender" appears.   To activate it press "Play".  For maximin benefit Use your mouse to SLOWLY press each of the buttons on the "Blender" from left to right.  So that you appreciate the verbal abuse greg hears every morning.

Only in my nightmares could I begin to imagine what a milk, chocolate, mashed potato, sour cream, blueberry and ginseng chake could taste like - anyone have a puking smiley???
 
And I don't know what size scoops your ptoein tub uses, but most are 70g scoops, which are ~22g protein  each.  Sounds like you're getting enough calories there to feed Michael Phelps!  Good thing you're getting all those miles in to burn em up!
