Okay, to be honest, I will still have the occasional milkshake. But it's more like one a month tops, rather than one or two a week. What am I having instead?
Zach's Peanut Butter Smoothie:
1 banana
1 cup ice cubes
1/2 cup chocolate milk
1 handful baby spinach (about 1/2 cup)
1 big spoonful of peanut butter (probably about 2 TBS)
A squirt of honey
1/2 tsp vanilla
Blend and enjoy. Yum.

Compared to my usual chocolate PB milkshake:

I think I'm coming out ahead!
Here's another of my favorite smoothie recipes:
Zach's Citrus Smoothie:
1 banana
1 cup ice
1/4 cup diced pineapple
1/2 cup orange juice
1 handful baby spinach
1/2 tsp vanilla
squirt of honey

I'm drinking a smoothy right now! It's:
1 1/2 c whole frozen strawberries
1 banana
1/2 c frozen blueberries
1/2 c low fat milk
1 c yogurt (I used blueberry)
Some agave nectar and vanilla
It's really good! I would normally put in a handful of spinach too, but we're all out. I'll have to try you choc pb one. Yum!
I like those combinations. I'll add some plain, non-fat greek yogurt for a little extra protein & creaminess instead of the milk. Or do Almond milk, which has vitamin E.
Another one I do is:
ice
spinach
honey
frozen cherries
almond milk
It's AWESOME.
Good stuff man! Thanks for posting the nutritional data too.
