These are great! Personally I like using a little frozen fruit instead of ice, as well. It doesn't water the drink down.

A secret to making a thick and frosty (but low fat) milkshake is to add a little instant pudding mix.

Here's a popular recipe; one of 70 sports-recipes in my Sports Nutrition Guidebook.

Thick and Frosty Milkshake

This thick and tasty milkshake is a healthful alternative to ones made with ice cream. The instant pudding adds a nice thick texture and the ice cubes make it frosty and refreshing. I like to make these for my kids—an enjoyable way to boost their protein and calcium intake.

By varying the flavor of the pudding (vanilla, lemon, chocolate), you can create numerous variations. You can also add fruit (preferably frozen chunks) for extra nutritional value.

Note: The shake thickens upon standing; you can add more (or less) pudding mix, depending on how thick you like your shakes. If there are pieces of ice cubes remaining in the shake, worry not—they’ll just keep the beverage cool.

1 cup low-fat milk

1/4 cup instant pudding

1/4 cup powdered milk mix

3 ice cubes

Optional: 1/2 to 1 cup (frozen) fruit chunks

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

I don't have any measured quantities, I just use what I have in the fridge, but my basic smoothie is:

a cup or so of vanilla yogurt

some orange juice

a banana, either fresh or frozen

some berries, raspberries are my favorite, but you can mix or match any kind.

If I know I am not going to be eating for quite a while, or if I have this for breakfast, I'll add some flax seed, raw oatmeal, or some type of protein powder. So sometimes the smoothie recipe is dictated by what the day's meal plan might be.

The beauty of the Smoothie is that we can make them in a hundred varieties, so keep those recipes coming!!!

I was just introduced to this dehydrated peanut butter called PB2. They basically take roasted peanuts and press them to remove the fat. You then can rehydrate it with water. I just ordered the sample pack and haven't actually gone the rehydration route (I'll get there...it just seems a little weird) but I've been adding it to my smoothies. It adds a great peanut taste with a fraction of the fat and it's not a pain to blend like other peanut butter. Here's the link to the farm that makes it:

The sample pack also comes with a chocolate PB2. I haven't tried that one yet (i have no idea why and am a little embarassed to type that) but I'll let you know when I do! I feel a little like I'm a PB2 sales person but really I'm just a peanut butter junkie:)

Hey that's a great link. I especially like the "foods to include" recipe planner
