Ingredients:

1 cup fat-free frozen chocolate yogurt or 1 cup low-fat chocolate frozen yogurt
2 Oreo cookies (chocolate sandwich cookies, you could even use reduced-fat Oreos)

Directions:

1. Combine milk and frozen yogurt in blender until smooth.

2. Crumble in Oreos and blend.

You might want to play around with this recipe. Add some other ingredients like ginger or cilantro or some seasoning. It’s on the bland side with just these three ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 carrot
1 piece of celery stalk
5-10 ice cubes

Directions:

In a Vita-Mix blender add all the ingredients and blend on high until smooth.

Note: If the smoothie is too thick you can add some sort of liquid – a flavored juice or some water to think it out a litte.

1/4 cup tofu
1/2 banana
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1/2 cup apple juice

Directions:

In a Vita-Mix blender, add all ingredients and blend on high until desired consistency is reached.
