Less Calories and Carbs
ctatter2002 - March 9, 2007 10:21:21 AM PSTI do not use the orange juice or sugar. I use frozen berries, a couple tablespoons of yogurt, half of an over ripen banana that you otherwise would probably throw out to offset the tartness of the berries, and a little water to liquify it. The smoothie is creamy and sweet. Less calories and carbs.

Crash and Burn
ews - March 11, 2007 12:23:01 PM PSTWith 47g of sugar and very, very little protein, you may as well drink a Coke for breakfast! Granted that the amount of sugar in this smoothie will get your heart started, but you\'ll get that classic crash and burn a couple of hours later. My breakfast smoothie is high-protein and low-fat/low-sugar. What little sugars are in it are complex, natural sugars from honey and fruit. The basic recipe comes from Oprah (search there). I add some plain soy yogurt to add creaminess. Yum!!
