    This is the one I make on the weekends for breakfast or lunch:

    1 container of plain nonfat Greek yogurt
    1 c. frozen strawberries
    1/2 c. skim milk
    1 banana

    Blend until smooth. There are many different variations you can do with this depending on favorite fruits but this one is my favorite.

    2 c dole frozen mixed fruit
    1 c water
    1/2 c lowfat milk or nonfat yogurt
    2 packets of Truvia!

    OR

    1/2 c Ice
    1 c lowfat milk or nonfat yogurt
    1/4 c Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
    2 Bananas, sliced
    2-4 TBS. sugar free Chocolate syrup to taste

    P.S. Also, if he is a coffee drinker I have this as well:

    1 c pre-chilled cup of strong coffee
    lowfat milk or nonfat vanilla or coffee flavored yogurt

    Sorry that was my first original recipe before I adapted it for my new fit lifestyle on MYFITNESSPAL! Also, I forgot to add that the bananas are 2 SMALL bananas. and that the Peanut Butter was no longer 1/4 c but 2 TBS. and each recipe is for 2 servings. I have since corrected the recipe thanks!

    Here is the nutritional value for the Chocolate PB Banana Smoothie per 1 serving out of 2: Per Serving:
    268 Cals. 45 Carbs 7 g Fat 9 Protein 4 Fiber 204 Sodium
