For years I have been making smoothies...Even before they became so popular that grocery stores sell them now. And I never seem to get tired of them since I change it up all the time.
Here are some ideas to put in your smoothies:
I ONLY use only LIGHT YOGURT.
Fruit. I use 1/2 of a banana, peaches, plums, strawberries, blueberries.
NOW: I stay away from pineapple and watermelon. Those two fruits are very high in sugar. And I do not use bananas all the time because believe it or not they too are very high in sugar and that is why they taste soooo good!
Sometimes I buy a melody of frozen fruit. Sometimes I can find a great mixture.
I use a cup of Non-Fat Milk but you can also use Soy Milk.
I use different juices a splash of this and a splash of that. Like Light White Grape Juice. Alcai Juice. Blueberry/Cranberry Light also.
Lots of Ice.
Sometimes depending what fruits are on sale,etc... I tend to use say.. Peach yogurt.. with peaches.. and just add some non-fat milk and different juices.
And so.. NOW they have these great eco..plastic cups you can get anywhere. That come with straws.
If I am on the go.. I make my smoothie and put it in this cup and drink it on the run!
And it really does fill you up!
Then I have 1/2 of a sandwich because I am still full and then a light dinner.
It is funny! I have raved sooo much about my smoothies and I just asume that everyone else makes them as much as I do! But if I have friends over and I make them.. .. They have me write down the recipe. But really there is no set recipe. It is what you feel like making!!! That day...

Although, I do help people I meet that want to lose weight the natural way through dieting and exercising without all of the crazy diet fads and pills. I discovered Sugarbusters years ago.
