Now that I'm writing a review, I have the feeling that I might have made some major changes in your recipe, but still In think I stuck pretty close to the 'idea' of it! I did use fat-free vanilla yogurt in it, & then left out the sweetener AND the vanilla extract listed, but that was about it! Another time I might add a banana, but that's just something I usually do when I make smoothies! Anyway, this one was very nice tasting, especially with the nicely ripe lemon that I had! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC recipe tag]
