10 ice cubes
1 carrot
Small handful spinach
1/4 scoop whey protein (6 gm)
2 small scoops of orange sherbert
7 frozen strawberries
1 banana
Small handful blueberries
1/2 cup milk
1/2 Tbsp Blue Agave Nectar
This makes 4 cups (roughly 3 servings)
I basically just found a bunch of stuff and threw it into the blender and finished it often with a bit of sweetness. It was pretty tasty.
Agave Nectar is a liquid natural sweetener that has a low glycemic index, as opposed to High Fructose Corn Syrup, so it is absorbed slowly and does not result in the spikes in blood sugar levels like other sugars do. It is the same concept as eating complex carbohydrates rather than refined carbs. It's sweeter than normal table sugar so don't go overboard.
Raw honey is also not a bad alternative to table sugar. It's glycemic index is under half of table sugar.
Here is a comparison chart for sweeteners. Again, the lower the glycemic index the better it is
