"A Quote from http://www.womens-menopause-health.com/perimenopause_symptoms.htm "This is a great recipe for women on the go. The yogurt and milk provide almost half the daily calcium requirement for menopausal women and contains a healthy dose of Omega 3 fatty acids. Flaxseed oil, when used regularly, is shown to decrease your risk of heart disease and certain cancers while promoting mental functioning."For an extra boost, add spirulina, blue green algae, wheat or barley grass powders."

This is a really nice, refreshing smoothie! I had to leave the flaxseed oil out because I just could not find any in the stores. My daughter woke up with a nasty sore throat and she says this is making it feel much better. Thanks Rita....another good recipe!

When I made this it wasn't thick like I wanted and I would probably add some honey or something else to sweeten it a bit more. I used rice milk and 6 ice cubes to start, then added more ice cubes to try to thicken it. Maybe I should have added more yogurt instead?

This was delicious! I didn't have the juice listed on hand and couldn't find any anywhere. Instead I used pinapple and orange juice (which I always keep on hand) and a bit of banana. Was great for a quick morning breakfast.

For us I chose to use frozen vanilla yogurt ice cream along with pinapple juice in ours. This was soo good I could see me making this again for us.

I used orange juice and skim milk but will try again with soy milk and a different kind of juice. Great smoothie!!
