Natural Diet Smoothies

A couple of weeks ago I tried Weight Watchers vanilla smoothies. I found that they made an easy, quick breakfast that provided most of my milk and nutritional needs for the day. However, they have a lot of artificial ingredients and they are expensive. So, now, I'm creating my own smoothies. I use instant nonfat milk powder, soy protein isolate or egg white powder, and psyllium husk powder for my smoothie base, then I add fresh or dehydrated fruit for flavor and nutrition and artificial sweetener, if I'm in the mood for a sweeter flavor. This morning I had a Jackfruit Sesame Goji Berry Coconut Smoothie. Yummy, great nutrition, only 5 Weight Watchers points, and it keeps me satisfied until lunch! Here's another great smoothie recipe:

Nutrition and Texture
1 tsp goji berries
1 teaspoon dried shredded coconut

Flavor
1 tsp raw chocolate powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 packet saccharin or other artificial sweetener

Put all of the dry ingredients in the blender. Measure milk. Add vanilla extract to the milk. Pour milk and vanilla into blender. Blend well. I use a Magic Bullet, which is very easy to set up, clean and store.
