Many people skip the protein and opt for higher fat or carbohydrate smoothies.  Adding nut butters, coconut milk, a variety of fruits, honey, etc, creates a calorie surplus  and sugar spike leading to increased hunger.  A well balanced meal should have equal parts protein and carbohydrate to refuel muscle and glycogen.  Aim for 15-40g of protein depending on your goals and body weight.
