Anyone have a good recipes for healthy milkshakes? I mixed one this morning with my daughter - 2 bananas, 2 peaches, skim milk, 1 scoop fat-free frozen yogurt, ice cubes - it was pretty awesome. Now I'm hooked :happy:

    My personal fave is a chocolate peanut butter one! Mix (using a blender): 8 Ice cubes, 1/3 cup of fat-free vanilla yogurt (I like the Astro brand), 3/4 cup of unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze, 2 Tbsp. of Hershey's Sugar-Free chocolate syrup, and 1 Tbsp. of Trader Joe's Better N' Peanut Butter (or you can use REAL peanut butter, but it'll increase the calories by 30), and one Sugar Twin/sweetener packet (optional!)....

    130 Calories for a TALL glass, filled to the brim!

    I do one for breakfast or dinner once in awhile. I throw in some yogurt, Carnation Instant Breakfast (great chocolate flavor), ice cubes, a bit of milk and half a banana. It comes out thick and delicious. Thin it with a bit more milk if it's too thick for you.

    I have a chocolate pb one that is my go-to meal in a crunch

    1 scoop of Chocolate protein powder
    1 banana
    1 cup of almond milk
    1-2 tbsp of peanut butter
    Ice to taste.

    This is so, so good and even better when you freeze the banana ahead of time. YUM YUM YUM.

    Love mine!
    Oats, vanilla flavoured protien powder, a banana, cinnamon and skimmed milk!
    I also add blueberries or strawberries instead of the banana and sometimes a tsp of peanut butter!

    I love banana chocolate cake, so searched around for a good recipe for banana chocolate milkshakes and got this:

    1 cup skim milk, 2 tbsp cocoa, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 banana.
    Put the cocoa and milk in the blender first and blend on low speed till mixed well. Add the sugar, vanilla and banana, then the ice one at a time till smooth.

    Can't quite remember the website I got it from. Tried it out a couple of weeks ago and it tastes good! Almost like the real thing :P but feels good to know i'm having that great taste and being healthier about it.

    Try using Tarder Joes fat free sour cream instead of yogurt. It may sound a bit crazy, but I wanted a smoothie one morning and that's all I had to work with. I tossed blueberries, a banana, some dole pineapple tidbits (with juice) milk, the sour cream, and 2 ice cubes in. This is basically all I had to put in my smoothie that I was craving and it great!
