Hi. I just opened up my blender from my bridal shower...10 years ago! I bought some plain yogurt and frozen berries but since (obviously) I have never made a smoothie, I'm wondering if anyone has a good recipe. If you could include how you record it (calories, fat etc.) that would be great as well. Thanks in advance!

edit: smoothie!

    Well, I've tried smoothies a number of different ways and have found that I like mine more like ice cream rather than in a "shake" type of consistency. My favorite is using 1 banana, about 1 cup of mixed frozen berries, 1 small yogurt (like fiber one), and a touch of skim milk (not even 1/4 cup). I just continue to mix until it has the soft serve type of consistency I like and there you have it. And this amount goes a LONG way. I can make myself at least 3 large glasses full with this amount. So I break down the calories, etc. and then divide by the number of servings I've made. It may give me sort of an estimated calorie count but it shouldn't be too far off. I love these and they are very filling. There are so many different kinds of frozen fruits that are in the freezer section that you can experiment with what you like. Peach, mango, etc. etc. Hope you enjoy your treats and your new blender!!

    my breakfast many mornings is this:
    1 banana
    handful frozen strawberries
    handful frozen blueberries
    water
    cinnamon
    vanilla
    bit of pure stevia
    handful or two of fresh spinach

    you cannot taste the spinach but it gives you tons of energy and nutrients!
    it is listed in the databse as 'Homemade - Strawberry, Banana, Spinach Punch' (187 calories)

    another one I like - not nearly as good for you but still yummy and not too bad
    Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie! YUM!! Listed in MFP as 'Kristine's Homemade - Peanut Butter & Banana Craving Smoothie W/ Cocoa' (that's my sister... I don't put cocoa in it so I think that takes out about 20 calories) 229 calories
    frozen banana (1 banana's worth)
    1 TB smooth, natural, no sugar peanut butter... i use one where the only ingredient is peanuts!
    3/4 cup vanilla rice milk
    cinnamon (cuz i like cinnamon in everything haha!)
    pinch of stevia

    yummy!!
