peanut butter smoothie.

This is a smoothie I eat about three times a week. Substitutions are in parentheses.

Blend:
8 ounces rice milk (goat/cow milk, soy milk, almond milk or even coconut milk)
2 TBL peanut butter
1 banana (any fruit which tastes good with cocoa)
2 icecream scoops of Rice Dream ice cream (frozen yogurt, icecream, or add an extra banana)
1 teaspoon cocoa (optional)
2 handfuls of ice

Calorie intake:
8 ounces rice milk: 120 calories, 1g protein, 23g carbohydrate, 10g sugars
2 TBL peanut butter (Adam's No Stir): 210 calories, 7g protein, 6g carbohydrate, 1g sugars, 2g fiber
1 banana: high in potassium, 172 calories, 40g carbohydrate, 3g protein
2 scoops Rice Dream: 140 calories, 23g carbohydrate, 1g protein, 18g sugars
IN ALL:  642 calories, 12g protein, 92g carbohydrate, 29g sugars, 2g fiber

To cut back on carbohydrate intake and increase protein, substitute the ice cream for 1/2 banana, 1 TBL peanut butter, and a handful of ice. And substitute the rice milk for soymilk.

Caution: if you do not like peanut butter in smoothies, you will not like this.
