I really need some good healthy smoothie recipes. I'm a diabetic and trying to get on a low fat diet too!

    I keep this real simple.

    I use frozen fruit - 1 cup
    I'll also throw in some veggies - 1/2 cup
    Add two cups milk - 8oz powdered milk

    Blend - no added sugar or ANYTHING!
    And I do not add any of that stuff people buy called "protein powder" - nobody really knows what's in that can of chemicals.

    That's about 275 calories, 15 gms protein.
    I eat some fish with it.

    This is my go-to smoothie, but it is probably high in sugar. You could modify it a bit though.

    Minimum 1 cup spinach (I freeze the fresh stuff, easier to manage than the stuff you buy already frozen)
    1/2 cup cranberries
    1/2 cup raspberries
    1 banana
    1 cup rice or almond milk
    scoop of protein powder if I have unflavoured stuff
    often I add a 1/2 cup of blueberries as well.

    Less sugary smoothie is:
    1 cup or more of spinach
    celery stalk or two
    chopped up apple
    juice of 1/2 a lemon and 1/2 a lime
    ginger
    banana

    Oh and I freeze my fruits too, I like it better than adding ice.
  • 1 cup unsweetened Almond Milk
    1 serving frozen strawberries
    2 servings Mango/Peach Isopure Whey Protein
    1 tbsp flax seed oil
    2 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil (for a tropical taste.. very good to add when you're sick!)

    Put all in the blender and blend. :) This has the added benefit of flax oil and coconut oil. To reduce calories, just omit the coconut oil.
