low calorie strawberry smoothie


I'm obsessed with smoothies right now.  I have even made a few green smoothies, but I haven't made a green smoothie recipe I'd care to share...yet.  Hopefully I will discover a good mix of flavors soon on the green front.





This strawberry smoothie I made yesterday was really good and really simple.  
  




I entered the ingredients into the 'my fitness pal' recipe creator.  I have had so much fun playing around with creating recipes while counting calories.


Put all ingredients in a blender and hit the smoothie button!


1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/4 cup of greek gods nonfat plain yogurt
3/4 cup almond milk
1/2 a banana, peeled, sliced and frozen


My smoothie was 152 calories and it filled me up.


The kids had a similar smoothie, but I used low fat strawberry yogurt, almond milk, honey, blueberries, the other half of my frozen banana.  I'm thankful they too are smoothie fans!

What kind of fun smoothies have you made lately?

I have been on a smoothie kick too! Pretty much the same one that you made but sometimes I add frozen mixed berries! :)

Yum! We do smoothies with vanilla yogurt and frozen berries and it is really yummy! I need to try adding in some spinach or something to make them a little more nutritious though:)

I love smoothies and do need to try and make them at home. I've seen a few with spinach that people have said are good...we'll see. This post also makes me want an iPhone...lol.

This sounds good! I'll have to try it. I've never had almond milk. My fave smoothie is just skim milk, no sugar added Nesquik & banana.
