I just got a new Ninja Ultima blender. Planning on starting to make smoothies for breakfast among other things. Looking for good breakfast smoothie recipes if you have any.. problem is, I don't like most fruits/berries. 

My go to recipe has always been protein powder, chocolate/coco powder, peanut butter, banana, spinach, ice and a little touch of yogurt.

Anyone got some suggestions?

    The two magic ingredients for my shakes are: 1) GINGER or 2) MINT  

    Sorry you might not like my flavors because I add just enough fruit to add some sweetness & gulp it down.  Today it was kale / cucumber / wheat grass / banana / lime / ginger / orange / frozen strawberry / chia seeds / ice / water.

    I enjoy them, but somethings I just slam it and move on to coffee.  If you want, you can chug it fast because everything is already broken down.  I put full wedges of lemon/lime/orange instead just the juice and the Nutri-Bullet takes care of the rest.  I assume a Ninja is just like a Nutri-bullet?  

    Gives you tons of energy and I am not hungry until lunch.  My wife and I have been doing it consistently for a year and I dont think I will ever stop.  Good luck!
