Smoothies
Just had the most DELICIOUS PB and banana smoothie for lunch! Calories were ok, but sugar was a whopping 35 grams. Most of it was from the apple juice I added. Any lower sugar suggestions for the liquid part of smoothie?

not used to posting
:blushing: Hi all! I usually don't make posts, only read them. But this site has been so great, I can't help myself from getting on the boards. I started this a couple weeks ago, and couldn't believe it would work for me - it seemed like I still get to eat! But I have lost 1 1/2 pounds, and think maybe at weigh in tomorrow…
