Instructions

Fun Smoothies and Shakes

• 1

  Depending on what type of shake you are looking to make you will need different ingredients. For a simple, healthy smoothie pick up some fresh or frozen fruit along with low fat yogurt and all natural, sugar-free juice. Combine all the ingredients into a blender, add ice and blend until smooth. You can mix and match all different types of fruit and yogurt combinations to satisfy nearly every craving.

  If you're running short on time or want a quick fix meal, a pre-made shake mix such as Slim Fast or Special K diet shakes work great. Pour the shake into a blender with some ice and blend until smooth. If you have some extra time, try slicing up a banana or throwing in some of the morning's left over coffee.

  If you are looking for something sweet, or maybe need a caffeine pick me up, why not try a Caramel Mocha Shake. Combine 1 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt with 1/4 cup of a chocolate pre-made diet shake, 1/2 tsp instant coffee and ice into blender. Top with light whipped topping and 2 tbsp of fat-free caramel topping. Recipe makes two shakes. Make the shake even healthier by adding 1/2 of a banana to it for extra protein.
