Ice, yogurt (plain, vanilla or whatever flavor you like), frozen fruit of your choice, lowfat milk, a couple tablespoons of honey and blend!. It should come out thick and smooth like a milkshake!. You'll need to play with portions to get the consistancy that you want!.
Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
get strawberry yogurt and blueberry yogurt!. get straw berries and raspberries and blend it together yummyWww@FoodAQ@Com
Smoothies can be hard to make, but the end result is good!. However, I wouldn't recommend making one with pure milk; try low-sugar vanilla ice cream or low-fat yogurt!.
Here's a recipe (serves 4):
1 quart strawberries, hulled
1 banana, broken into chunks
2 peaches
1 cup orange-peach-mango juice
2 cups ice
