Go to my new blog.

I will no longer be posting on my smoothie recipes on Tumblr anymore.

Blueberry Vanilla Smoothie - 4P+

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:46:14 -0500

So, I didn’t take a picture . . because I basically inhaled it.

SO good!

Ingredients:

WW Smoothie mix in French Vanilla

1 c. FF milk

1 c. frozen blueberries

a few ice cubes

Blend until smooth.

1 serving // 4 PointsPlus

Blueberry-nana Smoothie - 4P+

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 08:26:00 -0500

Ingredients:

2 frozen bananas (I needed extra fruits today)

1/2 cup frozen blueberries

1 Weight Watchers Smoothie Mix packet in Vanilla

1 cup milk

Directions:

Blend until smooth.

Yields 1 serving // 4 PointsPlus

Nutella Smoothie - 8 P+

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 06:50:00 -0400

Yum, yum, yum! What a great way to start off my Friday!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Tbsp. Nutella

1 cup FF milk

~6 ice cubes

1 frozen banana

1 packet Weight Watchers vanilla smoothie mix

Directions:

Add wet ingredients into blender first, then add dry ingredients. Blend until smooth. Add Cool Whip Free on top if desired.

Yields: 1 serving // 8 PointsPlus

Note: You could probably use 2 Tbsp. It will affect P+ value, but the banana flavor was a little more overpowering than the Nutella. Another 1/2 Tbsp of Nutella may make a stronger flavor. I just didn’t want to spend the extra P+ on it today. :p

Apple Pie Oatmeal Smoothie - 7P+

Tue, 09 Aug 2011 09:10:15 -0400

Woah.

So, this morning, I was trying to figure out what was for breakfast. I’m out of frozen fruit because I’m moving back to school in a week. I opened up the pantry and found some oatmeal. Hmm…oatmeal in a smoothie? Let’s try it! If it flops, I’ll never try this concoction again!

Woah. Freaking delicious. Can’t wait to try it with other oatmeal flavors!

Ingredients:

1 Weight Watchers Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cup

1 Weight Watchers Smoothie Mix in French Vanilla

1 cup FF Milk

8-12 Ice Cubes (I used about 12 because I wanted it to be thicker)

Directions:

Blend until oatmeal is in small pieces and drink is smooth.

Yields: 1 serving // 7 PointsPlus

PointsPlus tip: I always add my 2 teaspoons of oil into my smoothies. Add an extra 2 PointsPlus to the total if you do this! :)

I know I’ve been slacking on the smoothie recipes lately.

I apologize.

Life has been so crazy lately, and I haven’t had much time to come up with new things.

Hopefully here in a few weeks I’ll be able to get back at it!

I forgot to mention this yesterday…but the smoothie mixes are on sale for $4.95 this week!

Oreo Shake - 7 P+

Sat, 09 Jul 2011 22:11:25 -0400

Sorry guys. No picture! I had it almost gone and then realized I never took one. Whoops!

I forgot to get my dairy and oils in until tonight and this did the trick!

Ingredients:

1 Weight Watcher’s smoothie mix - French Vanilla

1/4 box Jell-o Oreo Pudding mix (NOT SF FF - still waiting on that version :p)

1 cup FF milk

1 cup ice

Directions:

Blend until smooth.

Yields: 1 serving // 7 PointsPlus

Yum yum!

If I substitute more pudding mix for the WW Smoothie Mix, how much would I use? I don't know how big the smoothie packets are and even if it's a 1:1 ratio. Any advice?

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 08:02:03 -0400

I would probably use 1/2 of the box (2 P+). I’ve never tried to make it without the smoothie mix, so I’m not 100% sure. Just make sure it’s the SMALL box of SF FF pudding mix. :) Let me know if it works!

I need to keep this picture handy when I feel like I fail at losing weight. :p

Enjoying a Strawberry Banana smoothie today.

So yummy for a simple smoothie!

Chocolate-PB-Nana Smoothie - 5P+

Wed, 15 Jun 2011 09:18:00 -0400

Ingredients:

1 cup fat free milk

1 Weight Watcher’s chocolate smoothie packet

2 frozen bananas

2 Tbsp. Chocolate PB2

Directions:

Break up banana. Add other ingredients and blend until smooth.

Yields: 1 serving // 5 PointsPlus

You can use just one banana in your smoothies if that’s what you like. Personally, I love the banana flavor (and need help getting fruits and veggies in). I always add two.

Chocolate PB2. I love this stuff! I’ve been adding it to smoothies and dipping my fruit in it! It also comes in jars. I bought a few packets because I wanted to make sure I liked it before I bought a large quantity of it. :) I really want to try it in oatmeal sometime soon… Check it out here : http://www.bellplantation.com/

Here’s a photo of what the packets look like:

No WW Smoothie Mix? No Big Deal!

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 10:01:19 -0400

You will notice I use the WW smoothie mixes in the majority of my recipes.

If you don’t have any, you can just substitute more SF FF pudding mix! It will thicken the shake up like the smoothie mix does. Low fat yogurt may work too.

Play around with it.

If you guys find any other substitutions work, let me know! :)

Thin Mint Smoothie - 5 P+

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 09:44:00 -0400

Ingredients:

1 cup fat free milk

1 Weight Watcher’s chocolate smoothie packet

1/4 small package jell-o sugar free fat free chocolate pudding mix

1 cup ice

1/4-1/2 tsp peppermint extract (depending on how minty you want it!)

Directions:

Blend until smooth.

Yields: 1 serving // 5 PointsPlus

I added WAY too much peppermint extract to mine (1 tsp.). Next time I won’t add so much. On the bright side, my breath smells good this morning!

Banana Cream Pie Smoothie - 6 P+

Mon, 13 Jun 2011 09:21:00 -0400

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup fat free milk

1/4 package jell-o sugar free fat free banana cream pudding mix

1 Weight Watcher’s french vanilla smoothie packet

2 frozen bananas

Directions:

Break up frozen bananas. Throw everything into blender and blend until smooth.

Yields: 1 serving // 6 PointsPlus

I added 6 crushed up Nilla wafers to my smoothie, and to be honest, I couldn’t taste them at all. Not worth the extra points.

I also started with 1 cup of milk and the smoothie was a little to thick for my liking.

If you don’t have WW smoothie mix, you can probably do without. Points+ will vary.

Fruity Iced Drink - 0 P+

Sun, 12 Jun 2011 20:48:00 -0400

After a very point heavy day, I came home and was dying for a snack.

Why not turn to my blender?

Ingredients:

1 cup no sugar added frozen fruit (I used a “Fiesta Blend” mixture from Aldi’s)

1 cup ice

1 cup water

1 packet no calorie sweetner

Directions:

Blend until it’s the consistency you want. :)

Yields: 1 serving // 0 PointsPlus

Really? That’s it?

Yep!

I feel like I should be sitting on a beach while sipping this yummy drink!
