Hello guys! Sometimes for dinner i'm not all that hungry! But I need to eat something because I am about to go for a run! So I make a fruit smoothie!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Dannon Light and Fit yogurt
1/4 cup of milk (your preference on what kind)
1 Banana cut up
1/2 cup of straberries cut up
1/4 cup of small blueberrys

The first thing I do is cut up my banana and my strawberies. I never put sugar in my smoothies. If you want sugar, I suggest splenda. Its 0 calories 0 fat and just about 0 the whole ways down and it doesn't contain aspertame so no headaches! =) Smoothies are plain and simple. Just put all of it in the blender and mix it until smooth. =) How simple can it get!?!?

Sometime if you want a colder smoothie you can substitute the yogurt for low fat or even fat free frozen yogurt. It's about 40 calories more and the sugar and fat goes up as well. Sometimes I get the chocolate one and just use bananas and boy is it amazing!

=) Thanks!

    Fruit smoothies are my favorite night time snack... and mine are almost identical to yours except I use frozen fruit to make it thicker. :-)

    I do the same, sometimes i use it as an after workout meal becuase I add protien powder to the mix.

    1 yopliat Fiber Yogurt
    1 banana
    2 cups frozen strawberries
    1c silk almound milk
    2 scoops Muscle Milk Protien power "Chocolate/Peanut Butter"


    This a lot of times is my breakfast as well.

    Those interested, it equals about 700 calories and fills me up while I'm at work till lunch time at 13:30.

    I use a low cal juice and skip the milk and add spinach and hemp hearts. I was very weary of spinach at first but its really tasteless (I use a cup full)

    Smoothies are the best!

    I use organic plain greek yogurt and pressed apple juice along with whatever fruit i am thinking sounds yummers at the time.

    I freeze my fruit for a frozen smoothie! that way no need to add any more calories or anything :)


    Mine usually is

    1 cup of Kiefer
    1/2 cup of frozen tripple berries (blueberries, blackberries and Rasberries)
    and
    1/2 frozen banana

    Though I am thinking about adding spinach.
