How Do You Make Low Fat Non Dairy Smoothies?
Make your smoothies both low-fat and non-dairy with these easy suggestions. For your “liquid” ingredients, substitute fruit juice and/or low-fat (“light”) vanilla soy milk for yogurt and ice cream. Both can add sweetness without being fattening (use 100% fruit juice instead of a juice filled with high fructose corn syrup), and the soy milk is a great non-dairy way to add protein (and “froth”) to a smoothie. For you “solid” ingredients, simply add your favorite fruits. If you do not use any frozen fruits and would like a cold, refreshing smoothie, add a touch of ice. For a “frothier” smoothie, incorporate banana into your fruit mix. One suggested recipe for Strawberry Banana is listed below in the “Resources” section. Then, blend all of your ingredients together in a high-powered blender or whole-food machine. If you need more liquid, simply add it. If you desire extra sweetness, stay away from artificial sweeteners and use honey instead. Enjoy!
