Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Good afternoon all I have just discovered smoothies! Yes, I know I am SLOW. Here I am banded nearly 2 years, but had my first one when I was in hospital a few weeks ago. They are great. I am putting Optifast, yoghurt and fruit with water into the blender and yum. Okay, that is my version of what a smoothie is, but what are they really? Does anyone else have them and what do you put into them? What I make does not taste like what is in the hospital one, ideas would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 You can make them with yogurt and fruit, ice cream and fruit, milk and fruit just as long as you have a blender you can make them any way you would like. I like them with a little yogurt and skim milk. Also to make them a little thicker you can experiment with the skim milk powder. I like the ones I have at 's they have ice, frozen yogurt and fruit.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thanks Mazz, I knew someone would know. I will get some skim milk powder. I love the idea of ice! They are such a great way to get real fruit into your diet. I don't know why I never thought of them earlier.

But what I really need is how to make smoothies and recipes or websites with healthy smoothies (also for veggies too) I have slowly been trying to stop eating red meat. I have been raised on it and my family too. But I know for a fact that when I eat red meat of any kind, the next is a fog day. So PLEASE recipes, ideas anything. Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
