Answer 3

When I make smoothies I usually use un-sweetened yogurt, spelenda to give it a nice sweet taste , a little bit of milk (usually the over the moon milk:)and then fruits like mixed berries, mango or papaya. Trader Joes has great frozen fruits. My favoirte is the triple berrie combo. That is great in smoothies!

Answer 4

I make smoothies with vanilla non fat yogurt (frozen yo is good too) fruit - use your favorite by itself, or try combos, a little skim milk, and a couple ice cubes - put it all in the blender and wiz on high for a 10-15 secs. If its too thick add more milk. Pour into glasses and are all set.
