Ingredients:
6 large strawberries
1/2 cup of your favorite yogurt
1 cup of whole milk

Directions:

Just blend all three ingredients and you have a fresh fruit smoothie. Additional fruits maybe added like bananas.

Thanx Bookworm ~ Great addition! Esp the non dairy ones ~ I wasn't even aware of THAT category...

I also want to add if you use Greek Yogurt for others you can pick up a significant amount of protein for building blocks, fighting inflammation in the body, as well as sustaining that FULL feeling for weight loss.

FYI ~If you add a scoop of whey protein shake powder a smoothie CAN become a complete meal replacement.

Blueberry delight

I cup of yogurt
1 banana
Blueberries to taste.

Blend and enjoy.

I make smoothies all of the time, but I don't use a recipe. They are different every day. I'll just give the generic version of what I do.

Start with about a cup of yogurt. I usually get the big container of vanilla, but a carton of vanilla, lemon or other flavor will work.

I almost always add a banana.

The third ingredient is something frozen. I usually use whole strawberries, peach slices, or mixed fruit. Many ingredients call for ice cubes, which are fine if you add fresh fruit.

I may toss in more fresh fruit, if I have it (usually berries of some sort).

Add milk or soy milk or almond milk, depending on the thickness desired and the amount of fruit--usually a half cup or so.

I sometimes add a squirt from the honey jar and/or cinnamon.
