Just bought a new smoothie machine. It comes with all sorts of recipes but all of them are heavy and have lots of calories. Any good healthy, all natural, or almost natural recipes out there?

1/2 cup frozen berries 1 cup milk or
I banana with 1 1/2 cups trim milk and a tbsp honey
fresh strawberries and banana with milk
yoghurt and banana with milk
Just go with what you like and try substituting ingredients with others. All the best recipies come from trial and error and there are no hard and fast rules for smoothies. Let your imagination go where your taste buds lead you!

I like to have fruit smoothies for breakfast. I thaw out 1 cup of frozen mixed fruit (get the big resealable bag and just take out what you need), then mix it with one container of Blue Bunny vanilla creme yogurt (no sugar and no aspartame), 3 ice cubes, and 1/2 cup milk. I blend it thoroughly and enjoy!
