Yakult Smoothie

Healthy Great Tasting Smoothie

Yakult is doing a celebrity event next week to raise money for cancer awareness and they've asked me to concoct a healthy pink smoothie that has Yakult in it. I will demo how to make this strawberry yogurt Yakult smoothie today. I'll use low-fat and non-fat plain yogurt as base.

Recipe:

2 c low-fat plain yogurt, 1 c of ice or 3-4 ice cubes, 3 bottles Yakult and 9 strawberries in a blender. 1 c low-fat plain yogurt has 140 cal, 11 g protein & 4 g of fat.

Healthier option: 2 c non-fat plain yogurt, 1 c of ice or 3-4 ice cubes, 3 bottles Yakult and 9 strawberries in a blender. 1 c non-fat plain yogurt has 110 cal, 10 g protein & 0 g of fat.


3-4 servings

Nutritional analysis: approximately 150-200 calories (depending on size of strawberries); 0-4 g of fat; 6-7 g of protein; 20 g of carbohydrate + calcium.

Best Hand Blender Reviews is a multipurpose kitchen appliance, used for emulsifying, blending, whisking, pureeing soups and sauces. Hand blender can also be referred as immersion blender or a stick blender. Hand blender allows you to immerse the blender in a liquid to combine it, giving you an appliance in your kitchen that can increase your flexibility in the kitchen. Unlike the other traditional blenders, a hand blender can be used in any container you want. It does not have a container of its own.

This simple, yet effective device lets you blend inside of a liquid without the use of a traditional pitcher or carafe blender so you can quickly make many blended items.
