    I sometimes add oatmeal to my smoothies, when i know i won't have time for lunch. It keeps me fuller longer. Peanut butter when I know will be going on a long endurance run or ride and protein when i go pump iron. Have fun experiment. You can hardly ever go wrong. Just be careful with the servings. Sometimes if your not careful it two servings or three and you've eating a but load of calories.

    does the cottage cheese make it chunky?

    I blend it all together so there are no lumps. The cottage cheese gives it a bit of thickness, but no chunks if it's blended. I put all of my ingredients into a bowl and then I use my little hand blender to mix it all up...easy clean up plus the bowl I use has a pouring lip on it.

    It keeps the topic towards the top in the message board category...kinda limits the amount of searching people have to do to find this thread. :smile:

    I make mine with

    Plain yogurt
    vanilla extract
    a bit of juice or honey to sweeten
    Frozen fruit there is a few different mixes I buy frozen any is good
    one banana
    and if it's too thick for the blender I will add some skim milk too
    and then a table spoon of Organic golden flax meal it adds lots of fiber and Omegas in there.

    CHerbert-

    You gave me an idea to make a smoothie with coffee and yogurt instead of milk. It's for my son, so I will try it with decaf and hope he likes it.

    There are some great recipies here.
