Smoothies may not always satisfy us. The idea of a quick and nutritious meal on the go is enticing, but can often leave us hungry for more.  After playing around with several recipes, I finally found the secret to a satisfying smoothie.  In all of these recipes you'll see 2% Greek yogurt.  This yogurt averages 17 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat per serving.  This helps provide more meal satisfaction than a plain fruit smoothie.  The protein, fat, and fiber from fruit makes for a very satisfying meal on the go.

Banana Berry Smoothie

  • 1 - 7oz container 2% Fage Greek Yogurt
  • 1 peeled ripe banana
  • 5 strawberries
  • Splash of orange juice
  • Handful of ice cubes
  • 1/2 water or more for consistency
  • Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. For a sweeter taste, add a little honey or agave nectar


Berry Green Smoothie

  • 1 - 7oz container 2% Fage Greek Yogurt
  • 5 strawberries
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1 large handful raw spinach leaves
  • Handful of ice cubes
  • 1/2 water or more for consistency
  • Honey or agave nectar to sweeten
  • Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Don't get freaked out by the green color... it tastes good!


Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie

  • 1 - 7oz container 2% Fage Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp all natural peanut butter
  • 1 peeled ripe banana
  • Handful of ice cubes
  • 1/2 cup water or more for consistency
  • Place ingredients in blender, blend until smooth


Mango Madness

  • 1 - 7oz container 2% Fage Greek Yogurt
  • 1 peeled ripe banana
  • 1 ripe mango peeled and chopped
  • Handful of ice cubes
  • 1/2 cup water or more for consistency
  • Place ingredients in blender, blend until smooth


Smoothie Tips:

  • When your bananas get ripe and start to brown, don't throw them out. Peel the bananas, place in a freezer safe ziploc bag and freeze until ready for use. This way you have a nice frozen banana for your smoothie. This makes the smoothie consistency nice and thick!
  • Don't be afraid to add dark leafy greens to your smoothie creations. The taste won't overpower the other ingredients. This ensures you're getting a serving or more of veggie at breakfast... which is always hard to do.
  • Add a tablespoon of ground Flaxmeal to your smoothie! You're getting a healthy dose of mono-unsaturated fats and providing additional satisfaction power to your on the go meal.
