Answer 3

The key I've found to smoothies is to a) use low-fat or fat-free vanilla yogurt and b) canned fruit can help offset the cost, but make sure there is no sugar added (del monte makes a good one called carb counters that is packed in its own juice) and c) use some type of exract (almond, orange, etc.) this will help give the smoothie another dimension of flavor. Here's a great one if you like cherries:

- 1 cup light vanilla yogurt
- 3/4 cup fresh/frozen sweet cherries
- 1 can pears (drained, packed in water or natural juices)
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 5-6 ice cubes
