These were tested with non fat vanilla yogurt.
The following recipes make roughly two snack sized servings or one meal replacement sized drink.
Any of these health drink recipes make an awesome breakfast drink.
Healthy, quick and filling!
If you like yours a little sweeter, you can use regular vanilla yogurt or add a tablespoon or two of honey to the non fat yogurt.
If you like yours a little more tart, use plain yogurt adverse to vanilla.
And, if you prefer a creamier texture, you can try a low fat yogurt but know the calorie count will rise.
We recomend always using 100% real fruit juices when possible.
Try to avoid those with added sweeteners and you can always benefit by using fresh, super fruits but make sure they're cold.
Put your super fruits in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before creating your smoothie.
So to get you started;
We absolutely love these.
