My smoothies contain 200ml low-fat soy or rice milk, 2 tsp flaxseed oil, 2 tsp odourless fish oil (citrus/berry flavour), 1 tsp chia seeds, 2 tsp Acai berry powder, 1 scoop any low carb whey protein powder, 1 tblsp low fat yoghurt,1/2 cup frozen berries. This is an extremely nutritious protein packed, omega 3 enriched, probiotic and antioxidant rich powerhouse breakfast. If there is xylitol in your whey protein powder it is also beneficial for your teeth.

Also, making a smoothie is far more work than simply eating fruits and vegetables in their original form -- Thus, you are incorrect. i use all-natural plain yogurt, frozen fruits, soy milk, and bananas…sometimes I throw in a carrot or celery or whatever other veges I have. :3 my mom bought me a blender two months ago, and now i make smoothies almost every day — thank you so much mom!!! :D :D :D

I just use fruit and water in my smoothies, so there's not really any added anything. And I do use a straw, but I'll be more careful about it from now on.

I just toss some frozen organic berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and raspberries-plus whatever fruit I have that looks like it won't keep for another day) and vanilla soymilk in the blender and voila! Delicious, healthy and COLD meal. I make smoothies after I go for a long walk on hot summer days like today.

I just use all fruit and ice, so why would that have a higher sugar content than whole fruit? I have to agree with Bass-O, here. If you're making it with whole, washed fruits, it's just as healthy. I'd like to see stuff to back up otherwise, because it'd be really interesting to understand why.

Yes they are healthy for you but they have to be made with fresh ingredients. If you are using juice, try to find non-pasturized (Dewlands, if possible). Add Hemp Seed nut and ground cinnamon for a better experience. I've been a daily maker and smoothie freak for years and also made them fresh when I had a restaurant. It's also important to wash your fruits. Ha… Yes they are healthy for you but they have to be made with fresh ingredients. If you are using juice, try to find non-pasturized (Dewlands, if possible).
