Caffeine-riddled coffee has become the standard elevator for dragging energy levels,
but it ultimately depletes the vitamin B stores that help keep your mind
sharp. This smoothie gets you going and boosts (or — if you’re a java junkie — replenishes) your vitamin B levels. On top of that, the protein helps trigger dopamine and norephinephrine, your brain’s wake-up chemicals.

MUSCLE MAXIMIZER
Pumpkin You Up!

(Serves one)
1 scoop low-fat butter pecan ice cream
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 tablespoon vanilla whey protein powder
1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
3 ice cubes.
Calories per serving: 265; Protein: 17 g; Carbs: 41 g; Fat 5 g; Saturated
fat: 2 g; Sodium: 136 mg; Fiber: 7 g

This smoothie serves up plenty of protein, and adds flax seed’s mood-boosting
omega 3 fatty acids. Consider this smoothie your post-workout personal
trainer — encouraging your body to make the most of the routine you just finished.

1/2 cup All-Bran Extra Fiber cereal

Ideally speaking I like to break down my caloric bank so that (roughly) 40% of my calories are coming from protein, 40% from carbs, 20% from fat.

The drinks you posted sound great, but are just too much effort for me. When I make a blended drink, it's usually much simpler. whey protein + ice + fruit

I've found that vanilla whey is the most versatile. It can easily be mixed with OJ concentrate as you mentioned above, or blueberries, or strawberries, or a banana, or.... ?

But I hate cleaning my blender. Haha.

Those all sound very good! I'll have to try them.......as soon as I own a blender, that is.
