Thank you soooo~oooo much. All of these recipes sound great. Thanks for so many.

I know a lot were posted but this is one I just got from my mother in law. Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie 1 c light chocolate soy milk 1 c strawberries 1 **** 1 tsp splenda 2 oz protein powder 414 cal, 2 g fat, 48 carb, 57 protein

Be really careful with some of those recipes. I think I have the same (or close to the same) smoothie list... but there are a lot of things you can substitute with (like sunrise crystal lite instead of orange juice: aka liquid sugar) and other things like coconut milk (even the "lite"... and I LOVE coconut milk) and low carb ice cream are high in fat. You can really sub a lot in the smoothie recipes where you might be able to tell it's a sub in other recipes. 'They' make a gazillion different flavors that you can find in the spice section near the vanilla... like coconut. If you have a cash and carry (or similar restaurant supply store) in your area, they will probably carry a decent supply of s/f coffee syrups. Those last forever and are a real steal for the size bottle you buy. The s/f jello and s/f pudding mix is a great way to flavor smoothies, so is crystal lite. My favorite is: frozed (no sugar added) peaches (sometimes with a little frozen mango, berries, or other fruit), 1-2 scoops body fortress vanilla whey powder, tiny bit of citric acid (from a brewing store, a restaurant supply, or online), 1 splenda pkt., and either nonfat milk or splenda sweetened vanilla soy milk. Be sure to get enough frozen fruit to make it thick. I usually put the fruit to whatever fill line, add everything but the liquid and pour the liquid to just under the fruit level. I will add a tiny bit if it needs it, but it usually doesn't. The key is a good blender. Mine was only $35 at target but it's specially designed for ice drinks, and it comes with a travel mug you can use instead of the big pitcher... makes clean up MUCH easier! Good luck!
