I just discovered you can make "Orange Julius" at home. Recipe is delicious. I'm hooked!

1 cup milk (I use skim)
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar (I use Splenda instead)
1 tsp vanilla (I use the real stuff not the artificial)
6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate
8 - 10 ice cubes.

OMG!!!

hmm, i might have to experiment with this one...

I make a fruit smoothie that consists of 1 cup of frozen dole fruit (mango,pineapple,& strawberries), 6 oz dannon nonfat vanilla yogurt, 1/2 c ocean spray diet cranberry juice(2.5 cals) and splenda and ice. DELICIOUS! Great if you are watching calories.

All these recipes sound great! I highly advise freezing your bananas makes em thick and creamy and super cold without adding ice. And I just started adding spinach and was shocked at how you couldn't taste it at all. My new favorite add in!

I'm addicted to what I call the green smoothie! It's a handful of baby spinach. About 5-6 frozen whole strawberries. 4 stevia packets. 1/2 cup frozen pineapple. 1 banana. Add some ice and water. Yum! About 185 calories per serving.

Oooh, yummy, lots of good ideas!
I've seen some variations of my fave, but it's: banana, 1 cup of frozen fruit (I like to do a combo of either peaches & mango or blueberries & strawberries), a couple of handfuls of spinach and a little water to blend. Can also add ice to make it super cold, but the frozen fruit makes it cold enough for me.

My favorite, pineapple/peach/orange:

1/2C frozen pineapple chunks
1/2C frozen peach slices
1/2C orange juice
1/4C greek yogurt
2T brown sugar
Total: 269 calories, 64 carbs, 8g protein, 31 sodium, 0 fat, 56 sugar.

These are approximate amounts used to calculate it, but I usually just eyeball it. I prefer to use vanilla yogurt for better flavor. Sometimes I add some nutritional suppliments as well. Brown sugar added to taste, mostly to cover up suppliments. Very creamy and delicious! (Note: I never add ice to smoothies. Ick.)

Edit: If you leave out the brown sugar, it's only 165 calories and 29 sugar.

hello_kitty3

my favorite one is strawberries, blueberries, a little water just to make the blender happy, 1 tbsp of chocolate syrup, and 1 tbsp chia seeds.

bumping this delicious thread for later.....

1 cup frozen fruit (I usually buy Dole Tropical blend, but I've used others as well)
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk (I use 1%, but use whatever you normally have on hand)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Muscle Milk Light Vanilla Creme)

Yesterday I made one with a banana, scoop of whey, tbsp of apple butter, 1/2 tbsp honey. Today it's a banana, an avocado, 1/2 tbsp honey, and whey. I'm gonna have to try some of the recipes you guys posted, though!

brendacella

I do 1/2 C frozen unsweetened strawberries
1/2 C vanilla yogurt ( you can substitute other flavors such as strawberry if desired)
1/2 C OJ
Blend - makes about 2 cups of smoothie - I have cut it all down to 1/3 C each -if you need additional sweetner 1 tsp Splenda works well.
