Perfect for one meal.

yum!

I add a few tablespoons of oat bran or wheat germ for some crunch and variety. It works especially well with berries for some reason.

We use plain yogurt as a base, but when my son went completely dairy-free for a while, I put applesauce in his and it worked quite well.

I also add a just a handful of frozen spinach – it doesn’t make it green when I use berries, then I can fool myself into forgetting it’s there.

Julie, thanks for the heads up on the raw oats, and Karen and Meghan, thanks for the heads up on the silken tofu – I’ll have to give them both a try.

Fill blender halfway with frozen fruit.
Slowly pour in diet sprite or 7up to cover fruit.
Blend on high, adding more fruit or sprite as needed.
Add a bit of sweetener if needed.

This makes enough for 2 smoothies. Our favorite is just plain old strawberries (sometimes with a splash of lemon or lime juice)

ice is pretty much necessary unless your banana is frozen and a touch of honey if you like a little sweetner

2 cups vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1 small to med apple (skin left on)
1 small to med orange (peeled, heh)
6-8 ice cubes

So, so good and so, so light mmmmm

1 banana (fresh or frozen)
1 small can pineapple juice

It can be as simple as that or you can add other fruits, yogurt, powdered milk, ice cream…

Wow – I think I need to bring my blender to work with me.
