When it's hot out, it's great to start your day with something cool, like a creamy smoothie.

Store-bought smoothies contain a lot of sugar, so I experimented until I came up with a terrific-tasting, homemade low-sugar recipe. Frozen fruit makes it icy cold, and plain yogurt, all-natural stevia sweetener and low-sugar berries make it extra healthy. And if you don’t mind added sugar, try using bananas or peaches, and ginger gives any smoothie an extra kick!
Ladies, start your blenders!
2 c. plain low-fat yogurt | 1 c. frozen blueberries |
1 Tbsp. fiber or protein powder | ½ c. water |
1 c. frozen strawberries | 1 packet stevia sweetener |
1. Put yogurt, powder, strawberries, blueberries, water and stevia into a blender and pulse on low setting. Blend until smooth.
2. Pour into a glass and enjoy.
Serves two.
