Oh you sweet, fruity, healthy wonder
How you fill me and refresh me like no other
Your calories are so low
Yet you fill my belly ever so
I love to make you each day with care
There is no other I can bear!

    it's the same as for my banana one--very basic

    1/2 apple (if banana I use a whole banana)
    between 3/4 and 1 cup of skim milk
    and some ice

    That's it.

    The flavor of the fruit really comes through--it tastes just like a banana or apple milkshake--even my hubby loved it!

    Oh that is easy!

    I use yogurt in mine. do you ever make yours with yogurt? I also add flax seed to be Uber-healthy!

    1 cup fat free plain yogurt
    1/2 cup fruit juice
    1 cup fruit
    flax seed or vitamin powder
    sometimes i add a drop or two of honey
    Ice

    Wanted to keep it simple and as low in carbs as possible--diabetic, so have to watch those.
