Fruit Smoothies

Add 1/2 cup of any frozen fruit, low fat yogurt,small amount of juice and ice in a blender and blend away..
I love mangos, strawberrys and peaches with strawberry yogurt. no sweeteners needed because they are already sweet..

1 x cup of Unsweetened almond milk
half a cup of frozen wild blueberries
1 scoop of 4EverFit Fruit Blast Whey protein (cranberry-raspberry)

Mix all (I add a banana sometimes but you will add more calories)

I love mixing coconut water with frozen fruits, I also do soy milk, banana and frozen fruits, no need for added sugar

Thanks everyone...I'm going to get started on Monday and will shop tomorrow...did any of you see Chris Powell on Dr. Oz? What do you think?

One banana, 2 tablespoons bran, half cup frozen berries, 1 cup lite cranberry juice - about 270 calories, but very filling so great as an entire breakfast. Makes quite a big smoothie too, so you could half it for half the calories :-)

I make this every morning:

1 ripe banana (100 cals)
1/4 cup Sambazon Acai juice (Costco) (35 cals) This is one of the super foods - high in antioxidants
1 cup baby spinach (5-10 cals) I get the organic baby spinach at Costco
1/2 cup Kirkland brand (Costco) Frozen berries (70 cals)
I add about 1/2 cup water to make it thin enough to drink through a straw.

I use the mixture of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries but I also use frozen strawberries or blueberries or mangoes. No need for ice with frozen fruit. The total caloric count is 215 but the nutritional count is awesome. I go for easy...I cut up bananas when they are getting too ripe to eat and freeze them to use for my smoothies - just like popping ice cubes in the blender. Kale is also a good green substitute for spinach. Some people think spinach gives them gas so kale is a good alternative. I also add a TB or raw cocau or flax seed for higher nutritional count. Takes me all of 3 mins to throw everything in a blender. You can also substitute any meaty food for the banana - peach, apple, avocado. Will change the caloric count, of course, but, again, it's more healthy than store bought smoothie mixes, etc. Hope this gets you started!
