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.

SUPER HEALTHY-NO FAT SMOOTHIE
This is inspired from a recipe I saw yesterday on a French TV cooking show. Couldn't be healthier or easier. This is for one large serving. It could easily serve two, or just multiply the recipe. You really need a blender to do this correctly.

- Use unsweetened yogurt or milk: If you're watching your sugar intake, be sure to use unsweetened yogurt or milk in your smoothie.
- Add a scoop of protein powder: If you're looking for a protein-packed smoothie, add a scoop of protein powder to your mixture.
