Make Some Tasty Low Fat Smoothies That Will Not Ruin Your Diet

With summer coming you will want to enjoy some smoothies. Well if you have a blender such as the Cuisinart CBT 700 Blender than you can easily make yourself tasty, low fat and low sugar smoothies that will not ruin your diet.

In any healthy balanced diet, see How Can I Lose Fat, you will have skim milk, low fat yogurt and fruit, all you need to make a tasty smoothie. It will be a life saver when it is hot and you feel like something cold.

To start off with take your days allowance in fruit and chop it up into bite size pieces. Then you freeze the fruit in a flat layer. The reason for this is that you can break the pieces apart to use in your smoothie.

Now all you need to do is take some of your skim milk allowance, some of your fat free yogurt allowance and us much of your fruit allowance as you want and make a smoothie with it.

It is best to only add a little of the frozen fruit to start with and then you add the rest little by little until you get the consistence you want. If you cannot use a full portion you can simply use the rest in another dish.

Of course, if you do not have a Cuisinart CBT 700 Blender you can also use one of the Cuisinart 11 Cup Pro Custom 11 Food Processors or even a Cuisinart CSB-76 Smart Stick Hand Blender. It will be quite OK with any of them, but the Cuisinart CBT 700 Blender will the best and it will give you the best results.

So, now you can see how making tasty smoothies this summer does not have to ruin your diet. If you prefer a little more sweetness you can add artificial sweetener, but I do not recommend it as artificial sweeteners come with a lot of problem of their own.

To see what I means go to: Stumbling Blocks On The Road To Weight Loss Diet Sodas. The long term effect of sweeteners on your metabolism is not very good. So, I would avoid them if I can.
