  • 1 cup vanilla low-fat or nonfat yogurt

  2. Put banana and yogurt in a blender with peaches, orange juice and wheat germ.
  3. Add cracked ice.
  4. Blend until smooth.
  5. Serve immediately in tall glass.
  6. Garnish with peach or banana slices and sprinkle 2 tsp. wheat germ on top.

Lime Smoothie

lime-smoothie1

It is time for lime, as in a refreshing lime smoothie recipe. I personally love the taste of lime and you’ll notice there are not too many smoothie recipes for this wonderful fruit. Of course to make it more palatable I have add some great sweeteners. Let me know what you think.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup lime (sliced)
  • 3/4 cup low-fat milk
  • 1 cup lime sherbet (can be light or low fat)
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 2 cups ice

You can substitute key lime yogurt for the sherbet for a smoother, albeit, slightly different taste.

Berry Berry Blast Smoothie

December 11, 2008 · Filed Under Low Fat Smoothies, Raspberry Smoothies, Yogurt Smoothies · 8 Comments 

Berries are probably my favorite smoothie ingredients and this berry smoothie has a truckload of berries, and feel free to shove some boysenberries in here as well or substitute. You can’t go wrong combining berries in a berry smoothie.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup strawberries
  • 1/2 blackberries
  • 1 cup low-fat yogurt (some type of berry yogurt would be best, but plain is fine too)
  • 1/4 cup low-fat milk or 1/2 cup fat-free milk
  • 2 cups of ice

While this smoothie is heavy on berries doesn’t lack of great flavor variety. I haven’t tried it with boysenberry but I would love to hear about it. Let me know if you try it. Blend until smooth.
