I use this protein fruit smoothie as a meal replacement 3 times a week and have found it helpfull for losing weight. I am on a high protein/ low fat/ 1,200 calorie diet and I follow the Mayo clinic's food pyramid (where fruits & vegetables are on the bottom of the table not grains). Please keep in mind I am not a professional and you should consult with a doctor before starting a diet. High protein diets are great for increasing a person's metabolism but remember to drink LOTS of water! Too much protein can be hard on your kidneys with out drinking enough water!

1 Cup of Skim Milk
3 Scoops of "Advant Edge" Soy Vanillia Protein
1/2 cup Frozen Strawberries
1/2 cup Frozen Black Berries
1/2 cup Frozen Raspberries
1/2 cup Frozen Blueberries

Blend to desired texture in blender & enjoy! You can freeze this also for a frozen sorbet later!

I use frozen fruits for many reasons.
1.) They are cheaper than fresh fruits.
2.) They last longer than fresh fruits.
3.) They make your smoothie nice & cool with out adding ice.
4.) They have a lot more vitamins then fruit juices.

This took me awhile to figure this out but here is the main nutrition facts important to dieters.

Total Fat :3.75 grams
Total Calories: 740
Total Protein : 70 grams!!!
Total Carbs:104

It is also a cool purple color & tastes great! I use this shake during lunch as a meal replacement 3 times a week. I hope someone finds this helpfull! I have many other recipes I have created that follow a 1,200 calorie diet. if interested please feel free to write me and I can mail you other meals that work!
