    Oh and another one when I am craving something sweet:

    chocolate soy milk (or almond milk)
    peanut butter
    banana

    I freeze the banana so that I don't have a watered down smoothie....

    sometimes I add cinnamon to it too!! and here is a link for some more :)

    i do what most everyone here has said, but i also add a 1/4 tsp or so or sugar free jello pudding (mix only)...it is a great thickener and adds even more flavor -

    banana with sugar free chocolate pudding
    frozen blueberries with sugar free white chocolate cheesecake
    strawberries with sugar free banana cream pudding
    peanut butter with sugar free butterscotch pudding

    you can add just about anything!

    enjoy!

    This is my favorite for when I'm craving something sweet, but don't want to give into ice cream. Sometimes I'll eat it as lunch, and it is very filling!

    1 bag frozen mixed berries (or whatever frozen fruit you like)
    12 ounces vanilla yogurt (I use Kroger's Carbmaster, but Greek would be great if you're using it as a meal substitute!)
    1 cup skim milk

    Blend until smooth, may need to be stirred a couple times.

    Makes 2 HUGE (seriously, like 20 oz) smoothies. 223 calories each, 2 fat, 14 protein.
