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 · 10 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.
