This has got to be the ugliest health food slop EVER. That's why I thought you might like to see it in action. I was eager to try some vegan protein powder I just got my hands on called Peaceful Planet's Supreme Meal. If I've tried this before, I don't remember, but I might have just tried it with water and dismissed it. I recommend NOT just mixing protein powders with a liquid (unless it's an emergency) but instead adding them to an already-palatable smoothie.
Other ingredients I threw into the blender: Banana, frozen peach pieces, soy yogurt, water, flax seed, and beet greens that I had frozen while fresh. The great thing about green smoothies (and the greens are essential to round out all the fruit sugar!) is that they are an anytime food. Keep fruit, greens, and bananas on hand and in the freezer and you won't even need to add ice. It's nice to be able to put whatever you want into it, whenever you want.
For all you independent coffee-shop lovers out there, don't hate on the Starbucks cup! I love this thing because it's perfect for smoothies (and Sbux passion tea lemonade). I have a fond, fuzzy memory of taking green smoothies to work, but I can't remember if I was working at Starbucks, at the gym, or in sales... Anyway, some guy looked at my smoothie and actually grimaced at me, as if I was going to pour my breakfast down his throat while splashing patchouli in his eyes. I won't force healthy food on you unless you want me to, generally. Besides, it's just a cup full of brownish-green liquid that I'm sipping on... don't be such an assparagus.
