How to make a low-fat smoothies?

Step One
Add 8 to 16 oz of fresh or frozen fruit into blender. I prefer to add 8 oz of frozen blueberries and 8 oz of frozen strawberries. Adding these first ensures that they will get blended faster.

Step Two
Add 1 whole ripe frozen banana. Break into pieces.

Step Three
Add one 8 oz container of low fat or non fat yogurt. Use rasperry yogurt. But choose a flavor to suit your taste.

Step Four
Add 8 oz to 16 oz of orange juice. Other types of juices can work too.

Step Five
Add 12-16 oz. of non fat milk or a non-dairy drink like soy or rice milk to the blender or shaker

Step Six
Blend until thick and creamy. Add more juice or frozen fruit to reach your desired consistency.

Tips

1. If you're using your smoothie as a meal replacement, adding a green plant powder is a great way to add nutrients and boost your energy.

2. If you are using a shaker, most fruits will not blend well. Bananas are one exception. Mash a banana and then add it to the shaker with the other ingredients.

3. Frozen fruit can be substituted for some or all of the ice, making for a brighter flavor. You can freeze your own, or buy them pre-frozen.

4. Adding 1/2 cup of yogurt or a banana will thicken and richen your smoothie, but adding both will overwhelm it.

5. Balance tart, sweet and savory flavors. For example sesame seed paste makes an interesting counterpoint to kiwi, peanut butter to banana, etc.

6. If you want to make the smoothie healthier include a scoop of whey or soy protein powder.

Other Tips

1. Use the yogurt container as a measuring tool. Most yogurts come in 8 oz containers.

2. Fresh fruit is desirable, but it is much easier to keep several bags of frozen fruit in your freezer, and the fact that it's frozen helps keep the drink nice and cold.

3. Smoothies are addicting, so make a large batch so everyone can enjoy.

4. Rinse out the blender container as soon as your are done, otherwise the it's much more difficult to wash later on.

Smoothies are great to put healthy things in that are hard to eat/drink by themselves. I put hemp protein powder, maca powder, green powder (spirulina, sea vegetables, alfalfa leaf), probiotics, apple juice/pomegranate juice, frozen banana, strawberries/blueberries in mine. The Magic Bullet is great for mixing everything together too.

If you aren't into all the powders yet, any kind of fruit always goes good together. Bananas are a must for any smoothie (preferably frozen)- they make it creamy. So bananas + berries + juice (orange, apple, cranberry, etc.) and you're good to go!

It depends on what you put in them. If you put in a lot of high fat and/or high sugar ingredients, then yes, they are fattening. Your recipe sounds OK, but rather heavy on sugar. The yogurt might be low-fat, but they often boost the sugar content to make up for fat removal.

Get nofat or low fat yoghurt and pour into blender add fruit of choice. I prefer Banana & Strawberry but blueberries are good too. Good value to buy the frozen fruits on cartons from supermarket and add these to yoghurt. Instead of yoghurt you could use skimmed or semi skimmed milk.

How can I lower the fat content of my smoothies?

There are lots of small substitutions you can make to lower the fat content of your smoothies. Use skim or soy milk instead of regular milk, or frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. Add nutrition with some wheat germ or protein powder. You can also reduce calories by avoiding sweetened frozen fruit. Use fresh fruit instead.
