Smoothie?

I use fat free vanilla yogurt, frozen strawberries, frozen pineapple and either a splash of skim milk or sugar free cranberry juice. You can really just go wild with whatever you want! Any frozen fruit will be VERY tasty. Basically, blend a bunch of stuff up, whatever you like! Its fun to experiment!

I think I used 1/2 c yogurt, 1 c strawberries, 1/2 c pineapple and enough liquid to make it the right consistency.

pretty much. you can use any fruit juice though, or substitute milk in place. you can add protein or nutritional powders as well. my favorite fruit combo is blueberry/banana, but i'm also really fond of banana/pineapple/strawberry with some chocolate syrup (like a banana split shake)! i use a chocolate protein powder instead of the syrup and for the most part, stick to milk instead of juice.

I love the yoplait smoothies! One bag is 2 servings when mixed w/ 1 cup of skim milk. So you can have half the bag and 1/2 cup skim milk. I saw them on biggest loser and decided to try one (strawberry banana) and I loved it! Quick and easy and delicious. It has the frozen fruit and yogurt pieces already there... but if you are looking for a cheaper way to make them I'd say buy frozen fruit and add some yogurt to it yourself w/ some skim milk.

i am curious too. thanks for posting

I keep it simple with 1 cup oj, 1 banana, 1 cup fruit of my choice and then add a scoop or two of protein powder (I'm not very good at eating meat so at least I get protein this way!) The hubs doesn't like it with oj so he puts frozen yogurt in his. I'm lactose intollerant though so I skip the milk/yogurt idea.

I freeze peeled bananas to start. then I add some skim or 1% milk. Then just wing it... I keep frozen fruit in the freezer all the time. Whenever I have fruit that is on the verge of going bad, I cut it up and freeze it. I have recently started using greek yogurt or cottage cheese to increase the protein. if I don't have any, I use plain yogurt. My kids like it when I use flavored yogurt (it makes the smoothie much sweeeter!)

I will also throw in some spinach... it usually makes the smoothie a weird color. BUT very good for you and it doesn't alter the taste.

If it needs a bit more sugar I will add some oj or pineapple juice, but this is usually not necessary.
have fun with it and get CREATIVE!

It's whatever you want. One of my favorite ones is strawberries, mango and rice milk. That's the thing about making smoothies, you can add whatever you want.

1-2 scoops protein powder, 1 cup low fat milk, 1 tbs of almond butter and a handful of ice...sooo good!!

I'm reading alot about protein powder, does that add to the smoothie to make you feel fuller? Also, what is a good powder to buy and where can you get it?

I don't put my protein in my smoothies. The only time I use it is before my workout's. (and sometimes after if I really pushed hard) . 1 scoop is about 140 calories and 26 grams of protein

I buy Body Fortress - Super Advanced strawberry. Doesn't taste very good! But it's cheap. (About $13 dollars a wal mart) And that will last me about a month.
