I love making fruit smoothies in the morning using frozen fruit and juice (a lot quicker). However the Cran-Grape juice (which I love) or any other juice that I use is high in calories and sugar for one cup. I've tried it with just water but it's not as good or sweet. I've also heard about adding honey to sweeten it. So do you guys have any other suggestions or alternatives for juice?

    Use fresh fruit and a juicer? You can try agave syrup instead of honey. When I make fruit smoothies I just blend frozen/fresh fruit, ice and milk/yoghurt. I've never added juice or sugar, it's sweet enough as it is.

    Agreed. My smoothies are frozen fruit, skim milk, and sometimes protein powder (I like the chocolate peanut butter). But I like the smoothies with just milk and frozen fruit.

    You could also use a packet of Cran-Raspberry/ Pomegranate Cherry Crystal Lite.... even if you use honey or agave syrup, that is still added sugar and calories.

    Thanks guys! I'm not a big milk or yogurt fan but I will definitely try the Diet V8 splash and Crystal Light packets.
