8 strawberries, hulled (I use 1 c. frozen strawberries and omit the ice cubes)
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 scoop vanilla or plain protein powder (optional)
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 cubes ice, crushed
In a blender combine strawberries, milk, yogurt, protein powder, sugar and vanilla. Toss in the ice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into glasses and serve.
*You can do a lot of different variations of this smoothie. I add a scoop of plain or vanilla whey protein powder to give it 20 grams of protein, and I use Splenda instead of sugar to make it healthier. To give it some flavor variations, you can add another fruit like banana or kiwi. You can also replace the milk with orange juice. I have also used frozen mixed berries and it turns out really good! To get in a serving of veggies, throw in a cup of fresh baby spinach. It's good, I promise!

Welcome to our Recipe Swap!
If anyone would like to join this blog as a contributor, just let me know and I will add you as an author. The only thing we ask is that you share your recipes with us! We may start monthly themes later on down the line, if more people show an interest, but at this point, please feel free to post any recipe you like, whenever you like.
~If you have a photo of the dish, please post it along with the recipe, since it is always nicer to see a picture. Please post it at the medium size so we can keep all the pictures the same size.
~And please tag the recipes into one of the categories listed. As you decide on which category to put them in, think of how you would search for it in a cookbook. As administrator, I may occasionally go through the recipes and categories and edit them for easier searching as things go along, so don't feel offended if I change some things around.
~If you try a recipe, feel free to comment on the recipe and let us know what you thought!
~Finally, please write a little something about yourself. I will post everyones profile here, so that we can get to know those we may not be familiar with.
Thank you to those who have already jumped in and added recipes. I am excited to see what everyone is cooking!
