EASY PEASY LOW-FAT CREAMY FRUIT SMOOTHIE
Dry milk adds texture and protein without fat or a lot of calories. Try this easy concoction with your favorite fruit: strawberries, blackberries, bananas, kiwi, peaches or cherries, for example. I use apples or bananas, and even chickoos (a sweet, brown-coloured fruit that we get here). This recipe is from www.verybestbaking.com, a Nestle website.

CREAMY SUPER FRUIT SMOOTHIE
I came up with this recipe by taking measurement ideas from different recipes to come up with my own version. It was important for me to use ingredients I liked because I won't eat or drink it if I don't like the taste. I needed it to be just the right consistency and smoothness. I serve them in a 16 oz. double-walled cup. For a smoother taste, first grind up the rolled oats.

LOW FAT FRUIT SMOOTHIE
Now that the FDA is recommending we eat 2 cups of fruit every day, this is an easy and tasty way to get most of the requirement met! Kefir is cultured lowfat milk (similar to yogurt) but is lower in sugar and higher in protein than either skim milk or yogurt. Kefir can usually be found in most healthy grocery stores or in organic sections of grocery stores. It's also pourable and easier to add than yogurt. You can substitute plain yogurt for the Kefir and sugar for the Splenda. You may also use fresh berries, but frozen fruit is generally cheaper and makes the smoothie more icy and like a shake. My kids (1 and 8) and hubby love this smoothie!

Steps:
- Pour the Kefir into a blender.
- Add the banana and blend.
- Add the other fruits and Splenda.
- Blend, on a lower speed at first, but finish off with the higher speed (like frappe).
- If the smoothie seems too thick (sometimes the fruit is juicier than other times) add the Vanilla Soymilk.
- Pour into glasses and serve while it is still cold.
- Rinse out your blender and the glasses as soon as they are emptied for easier clean-up.

Tips:
- Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit is great for smoothies because it's already cold and easy to blend. It also helps to thicken the smoothie and make it more creamy.
- Add yogurt or milk: Yogurt or milk adds creaminess and protein to smoothies. You can use any type of yogurt or milk that you like, but Greek yogurt or almond milk are good options.
- Add greens: Greens like spinach or kale are a great way to add nutrients to your smoothie without changing the taste. You can also add other vegetables like cucumber or celery.
- Add healthy fats: Healthy fats like avocado or nuts can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied after drinking a smoothie. They can also add a creamy texture to the smoothie.
- Sweeten with honey or maple syrup: If you need to sweeten your smoothie, use honey or maple syrup instead of refined sugar.
Conclusion:
Smoothies are a great way to get your daily dose of fruits, vegetables, and other healthy ingredients. They're also a delicious and refreshing way to start your day or cool down on a hot afternoon.
