Is this a premade drink by Yoplait? You add milk? Sorry but I'm a little confused.
yes, its already made. you just add milk and blend.
its frozen, thats why you add milk0 -
My breakfast smoothie... i seriously make this every morning, great for before or after a workout!!
1 scoop total lean shake protein powder Vanilla bean (from GNC)
1/3 cup frozen blueberries
1 1inch slice of pineapple
3-4 frozen strawberries ( i buy quarts fresh on sale then cut them up and freeze them, cheaper than buying frozen)
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
8 ice cubes
1 4oz. container of dannon carb & sugar control vanilla cream yogurt
Blend and enjoy!!
just a hair over 300 calories and makes a 30-34oz glass which is plenty for a meal. By using frozen fruit it's more slushy and not real creamy. If you like a creamy smoothie then defrost the fruit 1st0 -

The smoothie I have almost every night is a green smoothie. I put a bit of water in the blender and fill it up with spinach and blend that. Then I put some fruit in it. My favorite is mango and pineapple but pretty much any fruit is good. You can add more water to thin it down and use some frozen fruit so it's colder. I love it and it's less than 300 calories.0

I make just a super simple smoothie....nothing more than 1 cup of soymilk (almond milk is nice too) and I like to add 3/4 cup frozen mango chunks but any fruit works.
Sometimes I like to put in fresh strawberries though, if you use raspberries I find a touch of splenda (or other non calorie) sweetener is nice to add. I like this smoothie for breakfast or snacks or whatever.
I also like peanut butter smoothies......this is something I have after I exercize.
I take 1/4 cup frozen soymilk and 3/4 cup soymilk put in a blender with 1-2 tbls organic peanut butter (it's just 100% peanuts and nothing else) blend and drink......adding a banana is nice too. This one is higher calorie then the fruit one but great for after a workout.0 -
Yum! Can't wait to try this. Crystal light is a lot less calories than OJ. Thanks.
:bigsmile:My fav right now is a fuzzy navel.....
6 oz fat free light vanilla yogurt
1 cup frozen peaches
3-4 oz orange sunrise crystal light ( just enough to get it moving in the blender & make it smooth)0 -
