I just pick 2-3 of fruit, and 2-3 of veggie and put in blender. Start with 60/40 fruit/veg and over time try to get to 60% of veggie.

For protein, i used whey, i tried peanut butter, they all sucked. Now i use hemp seeds. Google it, you'll find its amazing as a protein source, and its a great conversation starter! (powered by pot seeds !) Tasteless in my smoothie, and keeps me fuller longer than the others.

For your smoothie, id remove the dairy and the splenda, add greens, and replace the whey with hemp.

There are all kinds of websites talking about green smoothies. Give em a look and see what you can do to improve yours.
I used to use yogurt, now a days i like peanut butter and silken tofu

also, if you're trying to feel fuller longer, try throwing in a fistful of granola before blending everything together
