AMY'S FROZEN FRUIT SMOOTHIE

Smoothies are so yummy...but can be VERY expensive to buy and who knows HOW MANY calories and fat!!! So......I came up with this recipe to satisfy that craving without having to empty my wallet or worry about my waistline expanding.  Sometimes I will add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter to give it some lasting power.  I had one for breakfast just this morning and I was barely hungry at lunch time! 

I buy the single serve portions of pineapple tidbits in a plastic container and just pop them in the freezer until I need one.  You could also buy a larger can and divide them into ice cube trays or small plastic freezer containers.

 
AMY’S FROZEN FRUIT SMOOTHIE

1/2 cup frozen pineapple tidbits in juice
2 strawberries, unsweetened & frozen
4 TBSP Dannon Light and Fit Nonfat Vanilla Yogurt
1/2 cup 2% milk
Directions
Run container of frozen pineapple tidbits under warm water to thaw slightly. Remove plastic lid and pop out of container like you would an ice cube. Place all ingredients into blender and blend until desired consistency. Place in large frosted mug and enjoy!

I'm going to try this! But I think I'll use Greek yogurt. More calories but extra protein. I'll let you know how it turns out.

that would be good. You might have to add some sweetner unless you are getting one of the flavored greek yogurts. Definately let me know how it works out for you!
