smoothies

I'm not the type of person that is bothered by sugar. I use it & don't use the substitutes- but they can be used in smoothies. I've been making smoothies lately & don't have just one outstanding recipe, because they're the kind of thing that you can mix up with what you have. I have made them & mixed strawberries, blueberries, blackberries & a banana in one- but I use what I have- a little or alot of each. I put the fruit in the blender, a cup of lowfat milk, a few tablespoons of yogurt (sometimes flavored) sugar according to taste & crushed ice- blend. My family loves them.
We can throw flax seeds, granola, protein powder or anything that we want in the smoothie & it doesn't knock off the taste but is even healthier.
Icecream is good in a smoothie, but the sugar will need to be left out & I would still add milk.
