Hey everyone. I hate eating in the morning so I thought i would try smoothies. I heard about the ABS DIET smoothies. Any one know recipes for those? Or others that are yummy?

Also, are smoothies a good weightloss tool? As meal replacements? Because I don't really know.

    I just 'wing it' with whatever is on hand -- my favorite though is frozen mixed berries (President's Choice brand is great, and the least expensive), with half a scoop of protein powder, non-fat yogurt (whatever kind you like), pineapple juice and for extra fibre, I throw in a teaspoon or so of ground flaxseed. Have fun experimenting! :)

    I have a smoothie recipe that sticks with you for the morning.

    1 tablespoon peanut butter
    1 banana
    1 cup of skim milk
    ice

    Blend it all together and enjoy - the kiddos love it too. You can also add a bit of chocolate syrup. YUMMY!!

    I use a banana, ice, skim milk and an individual yogurt in any flavour (blueberry or raspberry being the family favourite). If you are making it for more than just yourself, we add a second individual yogurt. Occasionally as a treat, we add a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    I've found that fruit smoothies made with Almond milk rather than juice or cow's milk are really tasty and lower calorie! The Almond milk is lacking some protein though, so I add a little protein powder.

    Delish!!! Might try a banana in it tomorrow.
