At-home smoothies are ridiculously easy. We had strawberry-banana smoothies at work recently, with a 1-1-1 ratio recipe of strawberries, bananas, and skim milk. Today I decided to try it with yogurt.
I used one cup frozen blueberries,
one cup Activia Fat-Free Vanilla Yogurt,
and one quite ripe banana.
Put everything into the blender (or Magic Bullet, as the case may be).
Blend.
Enjoy!
Here’s the nutritional info.

| Banana | 121 | 0.4 | 31.1 | 3.5 | 2 |
| TOTAL | 366 | 0 | 81 | 17 | 7 |
As you can see, this wouldn’t be great for someone on Atkins. Even though it’s almost completely fat-free, it’s high enough in calories and carbs that the points are a little higher than I usually like to have for breakfast. I’d suggest halving the recipe, or making one recipe for two people.
That sounds really GOOD. :) I think I’d opt for ice cubes instead of the banana for mine, but David would take the one like you made. I think I’d play around with part skimmed milk and part yogurt, but that’s just me. :)
Sounds TASTEH!
I actually wanted to use skim milk again, but I was out.
Looks very yummy.
Didn’t read this til today but got the idea to make a smoothie yesterday :) Might be because I am the king of letting bananas get overripe.
Have you tried adding in some of the Weight Watchers very low fat youghurt? Can’t remember the amount but it was about 1/2 point per serving.
Smoothies are a great way to get some of your five a day fruit.
I’ve really only been eating Activia yogurt lately…haven’t tried the Weight Watchers stuff. Might need to check it out!
