yesterday morning I didn't have time to make breakfast so I threw a quick smootie together -
1 cup 1% milk
1/2 c. plain yougart
1 packet of splenda
1/4 cup frozen blueberries

blended it and it was FANTASTIC!! My five year old LOVED it!

Has anyone ever added flax seed to their smoothies????
I was wondering about that.

[Dolly-VA]

Fresh strawberries (about 8 med ones)
1/2 c FF plain yogurt
1-2 tsps vanilla sf syrup (or 1 tsp vanilla and a packet of splenda)

Whipped in the blender. Pour in glass and stir in: 2 Tbsp reddi-wip topping

Tastes delicious!

[Caylynn]

1 scoop Designer Whey Protein Powder
1 cup skim milk
6-8 ice cubes
1-2 packets Splenda
1/2 - 1 cup frozen berries

[kevjanbrown]

For all of the other newbies, these smoothies are for Phase 2 and above. We PH1 folks must remain fruitless...........

[Caylynn]

Phase 1 Smoothie:

1 scoop Designer Whey Protein Powder
6-8 ice cubs
1 cup skim milk or 1 container plain non-fat yogourt]
1-2 packets Splenda
1 tsp vanilla or other flavoured extract if desired

Before starting SBD, back in the days when I could eat fruit, I used to put ground flax seeds in my strawberry-banana smoothie. You cannot taste them and it is a good way to get some extra protein and antioxidants!

Hey guys - could we replace the vanilla extract in caylynn's shake recipe for p1 with cocca? If so how much. Thanks

Hi everyone!

I made up a chocolate milkshake. It's not as thick as a regular milkshake, but it's better than nothing I guess! And it's chocolatey, so if you're like me and crave chocolate, yummy! And you can flavor it with all different types of syrups. I'm not sure if you can have it in phase 1 or not, but I think it's ok. ask someone about it before you try it!

1/2 cups FF milk
2 Tbs. Davinci Flavoring (I used carmel and it was really good!)
2 Tbs. SF Davinci Chocolate Syrup
9 Ice Cubes

This came from SteveK42 on another forum. I've tried it with and without the ricotta and it's pretty good!

2 cups non-fat milk
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1/2 cup Splenda or other sweetener
1/4 cup unsweet cocoa
3/4 cup fat free or low fat Ricotta

Put it all in the blender, blend until smooth, and you've got a thick chocolate shake. If it's not thick enough, you can put it in the freezer for a while and it's even better!

Also experiment with adding ice cubes. Take out the ricotta, add 12 ice cubes, and you've got a frappacino. Put in ice cubes AND ricotta, and you have yet another variation.


These two I haven't tried yet:

Mocha Cappucino Blast -drinks

2 C Ice
1/2 C ff 1/2 & 1/2
1/2 C Water
1 -2 t Instant coffee, to taste 1 - 2 t Cocoa
2 T SF DaVinci Vanilla syrup
2 Packets Splenda or equal Cooking Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a blender until blended, but icy. Carbohydrates Per Serving: 6 g


Note that this one has sf ff pudding powder:

Weight Watchers Milk shake

1C NF milk, 1-2T SF FF pudding pwdr, 3T fatfree plain yogurt, 2tsp vanilla
blend, add ice cubes (recipe says 8?) and blend well.

That Mocha Cappucino Blast looks good! I miss Starbucks! I just haven't been there in a while even though I can still get stuff! Is it really thick? Could you add more ice or would it just water it down too much?

[cheermomma]

dramaqueen_15, I haven't tried that one yet, but I know what you mean about Starbucks. I love their mocha frappachino's. I heard about a candy on another forum called Chocolate covered Espresso Beans, and got some today. They remind me so much of the frap!! They're 7 cal. each, but they're so flavorful you don't need much.

I'm not so sure if I would want to drink something with raw egg whites in it. Does anyone know the purpose for adding them to the smoothies?

Here's another one I thought sounded interesting:

Chocolate Delight

1/2 cup nonfat milk
1/2 cup yogurt
3 Tbs. cocoa powder
1 tsp. flaxseed powder

Blend ingredients until smooth. Serve immediately.
