I'd like to share this with you...

Special thanks to the dear dear person who helped me come up with this. :loveya: :loveya:

I made a Smoothie for the first time in my life today (yes, I am sheltered).

Here's what I put in it...

1.5 cups of orange juice
1.5 cups of no fat milk
small container of low fat vanilla yogurt
2 scoops of soy protein powder
1 banana
handful of frozen strawberries
handful of frozen mixed fruit (kiwi, pineapple, melon)
few drops of vanilla extract
few drops of almond extract
no add'l ice needed because the fruit is frozen

Blend hard for about 30 seconds

This stuff was GOOD! And healthy.

1. Mmmm, smoothies....

Glad you enjoyed yours! They're wicked easy, you can leave out a lot of what you put in and it's still good, just milk and yogurt/ice cream and frozen or non-frozen fruit, even. I used to make ones out of very ripe bananas, milk, and vanilla ice cream. Not nearly as good for you, but YUM. :)

2. I couldn't believe what I was missing all these years...

I have been trying to find a way to get my fruits and vegetables in and actually ENJOY them. I drink V-8 Juice a lot, now these smoothies seem to be the ticket for the fruit.

I was tempted to put some vanilla ice cream in, and I guess if you only put a small amount, it wouldn't be bad for you at all! :)
