Help my fix my smoohtie please

try this one;
1 scoop of body fortress protein powder (cookies n cream is the brand I am using atm)
1 small banana or 1/2 a large one
4-5 strabwerries frozen ones
1 tbsp flax seed (added fiber and great for the heart)
1 cup of very cold water alternatively you can use some ice
1/2 tsp cinamon for the antibacterial properties and the taste
Blend till smooth

leave out the bananna and it drops the cals really quick, I add it for workout recovery and the body absorbs more of the protein.

Next time leave the coffee out. That probably did the flavor in.

If it tastes sour, your extracts probably curdled your milk. It sounds beyond salvation at this point.

If you haven't given up, go back and add some more milk and a banana. Drink half and save the rest for later. That's a LOT of yogurt, so going forward you should @ least cut it in half. Greek Yogurt isn't as tart, but I hate to waste that in a smoothie..

My standard recipe for 2 smoothies is:

1/2 c plain non-fat yogrut
1 cup "milk" (skim/soy/almond)
1 small or medium frozen banana **makes it smooth and adds texture and sweetness, but you can skip if you want**
2 tsp flax seed
2 scoops vanilla protain powder
6-8 ice cubes or to desired frozen texture

Then to customize that you can add any of the following. Most of them individually, but I do like the peanut butter/coffee combo for some reason!!

berries
Peanut butter
coffee (1/2 c brewed, but decrease your milk by same amount, or I often just use a tsp of finely ground coffee, but NOT instant)
Cocoa powder
1/4 c pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice (pumpkin Pie smoothie)
Juice from 2 freshly squeezed limes (tastes like frozen key lime pie)

I agree--coffee and plain yogurt don't sound like they'd mix well. You could try adding strawberries if you have them, but I'm not sure there's much you can do at this point...

Correct if I am wrong but coffee, peppermint and vanilla are all bitter until they are cooked (in cakes/biscuit etc)

Fruit is a great way of sweetening milk

I use crunchy peanut butter for extra bite which works great with the vanilla protein powder.

Hope thats helpful x

Mocha Smoothie Take 2:

1 c. 2% Milk
1/2 c. non-fat plain yogurt
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 packet of splenda
Instant coffee to taste..probably around 1 tbsp.

not so bad, edible, but not a recipe I'd make again. Thanks for your help. I will def try these recipe's when im off phase 1 of south beach diet and can eat fruit again!

If you still think it's too sour, cut the yogurt in half again, and use a full scoop of protein powder. Or switch to Greek yogurt. But like I said earlier, I hate to waste that in a smoothie. It's just too expensive!
