a low fat healthy meal that is good for you

[debbie]

rescently my husband bought me this hamilton slushi mixer. he did't want to use teh blender because it was too big.
anyway, i put yougurt in it and some strawberries. few ice cubes and that is a meal. i feel so much better that i have been doing this.
i use it as meal a full glass or as as a snack small glass.
i never was on to sit and eat bags of fruit but now i am getting the right nutrients.
i use a bannana, strawberries, yogurt, ornages, grapes, rasberries, anything you like.
plust it tastes so good and it's refreshing since the warm days are right around the corner.
i kow some of us wnat to lose weight here but i think this woud be a healthy fun way to do add to your diet. plus you eat less. i love it! it's working for me! i feel so much better too.
good luck hope this helps some people out there.

Humm It sounds really good! I love fruit drinks/shakes! I just don't know if it would fill me up. But I think it'd be a GREAT snack at least!

[debbie]

you'd get all yoru fiber for a day. very good for a snack. you can add surgar if you feel it's a bit sour. fresh fruit can taste like that until you get used to it.
but really i would say it would be an excellent snack. :)

Oh I love fruits my mom makes me eat them all the time when I come home. I live on my own so I don't know how to pick out fruits and stuff. I also grew up on veggies and stuff but I don't eat them much anymore because I don't cook LOL!!!! But I've been trying to eat healthier and doing cardio so I'm pretty happy with myeself. Haven't lost any pounds but not too concerned. As long as my tummy looks better in 6 months I'll be happy!@

What do they taste like? Does it just taste like stirred yogurt in the little tubs? I don't really like them too much but I do eat them. There's this chain it's like an icecream store but they make frozen yogurt instead. they take a big chunk of frozen yogurt and they put in fresh frozen fruits and mix it together. It tastes soooooooo good and creamy not yogurty at all. I've tried frozen yogurt from groceries stores before and I didn't like them at all. Just wondered how the shakes taste

[debbie]

if it tastes a bit sour you can add sugar. but i don't. i buy fruit that is really ripe. i know bluberries and black berries are out of season but those are so darn good. lol
but you can add milk to it to make it more creamy. i think you'd like it' youd' get hooked on it. :)

[MareMare]

I definately wanna try it. It sounds so healthy! Thanks for the tip Debs! I'll definately tell you how it works out if I do try it

[debbie]

they taste great. hint add a bit of surgar if it's too bitter. :)

[Reete]

I've been doing something simliar for breakfast. I've been buying no sugar added (that is key!) frozen fruit like strawberries and mango chunks. If I can find good fresh fruit I do, but it's not quite the season yet for good fresh berries here. Then I blend it with a little low fat plain yogurt, water, and vanilla soy milk. Yum!! And healthy. And Debbie's right, it will fill you right up!

[debbie]

isn't it good? gosh it's so much better for your body too. i love them. all differetn flavors. :)

[MareMare]

I really don't know what's stopping me. I really think I would try to do this for breakfast and maybe lunch and snacks. And then dinner I can eat whatever I want (in proportion of course, and I try not to eat bad foods anyways!) My question is, do you think it'd still be good if you blended the shakes the night before you take them in? Like I'll blend them before I go to bed at night and the next morning I have breakfast and lunch ready! I dunno if it'd go bad in a day

[debbie]

it may not be as icey but you can still drink them. i put mine in teh fridge all the time. just put it in the back where it's the coldest. should have no problem. you will ike it i am sure. make a few of them.
i used one with lowfat instand breakfast adn yogurt, i use one with yogurt and fresh fruit, another one is cold icey coffee. you can use surgay on that one. i mean you can make just about any kindof mixed drink in it. it's so cool. every morning i have one, then i eat a normal size dinner.
i am having femal homrone problems so it' hard for me to lose weight right now. but i will get there soon i hope. lol

Humm.... I wonder if I can find a decent one from walmart! LOL! What's your blender? I remember my parents having to buy a bunch of different ones and they all sucked. Any recs or tips on buying ie. features, speeds, etc?

[debbie]

i think it's by hamilton, it was really cheap. you don't need a big one. this one uses a small cup. like a large coke size. it works super good. throw all your stuff in there with some ice and your good to go.
hey if you want to cheat, throw some ice cream and milk in there, you've got yourself a shake. lol
i did it once. he hehehe. was goooood!!!!

[MareMare]

I don't like milkshakes that much. I wonder if condensed milk is good for you. if not, I'll use Reete's idea and use soy milk! And if it's not sweet enough, I'll add some honey or even splenda should be okay.

I'm thinking of buying the magic bullet blender. Dunno if you've heard of it but it's one of those as seen on tv things. lol.

[debbie]

try it out, if you don't like it send it back. girl there is so much you can do with this thing. i mean if my husband would let me i would drink fruite drinks all day instead of eating. lol
you know i love v8, i wonder if i can make one of those? hummm i bet i can. i mean tomotoe juice, carrots what more do i need? that woudl be a healty drink. then again it may taste like crap. lol
but i like the yogurt iwth fruit the best. they really fill you up. very much. but not an uncomfortable full. healty full.

LOL I can just imagine your poor husband's face when you yelled at him for eating a banana! Oh gosh this means that I gotta buy a lot of fruit. I don't know how to pick them out haha! and I'm terrible at peeling/skinning them. like mangoes, they're they hardest to do. They're so soft and slippery and I end up just smushing it between my fingers and then I have to throw it out. I suck!

[debbie]

kiwi is the same for me. it's squooshies. blah. the softer the fruit the more ripe it is. he hehe , my husband just read the post and said "you don't tell everyone about us do you?" lol
he is so silly

Look at the grocery store for frozen mango chunks. They rule! I just found them here and I couldn't believe it. :) They're yummy, and no sugar added. Enjoy!
