This smoothie made a great snack for myself ans DSs, not sure I would serve it as a meal. Used sugar free vanilla yogurt, frozen banana, strawberries, and vanilla instant breakfast. Made a creamy smoothie that went fast! Made for I Recommend Tag.

An interesting way to put together a smoothie, though the way it's done leaves the Nutrition Facts almost useless! Still, I can quarrel with this very nice tasting smoothie! Used Mango nectar along with vanilla yogurt, frozen mixed berries & vanilla drink mix (left out the Splenda, though)! Also doubled the ingredient amounts to have a smoothie for each of us! Thanks for sharing your recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the Spring round of Pick A Chef]
