Before reaching for those rich drumsticks or bowls of ice cream to cool your kids down this summer, try this super smoothie! It replaces frozen yogurt or ice cream with plain nonfat greek yogurt. Adding this to your smoothies adds a big dose of protein, calcium and probiotics without the extra sugar, saturated fat and sodium! It also gives a great creamy texture to smoothies.
1/2 cup 100% fruit juice
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1-1 1/2 cups frozen fruit, no added sugars(bananas, mango and pineapple are my favorite)
1 Tbsp. ground flax seed
Honey, if sweetness is needed.
Blend. Add extra water, fruit or ice to desired consistency.
