The Perfect Yogurt Smoothie

After hunting around, I met a nutritionist who explained to me that the balance of micro nutrients in any breakfast is what matters. Because smoothies are blended, they are very easy to digest so your body processes them more easily...which is great, but that's why you don't stay full.
There is a way to make a smoothie really fill you up and satisfy you for a few hours and that balance is key. She gave me a basic set of rules to follow when making my smoothies in the morning that has really helped. To make it easy to visualize, I made you a chart.

When it comes to protein, I like to use my homemade greek yogurt from the "Make It with Powdered Milk" book. I use the yogurt recipe and then strain it for an hour or so in a nylon stalking. Not only does it add creaminess to the smoothie but probiotics as well. Woot! Woot! Here are two of my favorite recipes using yogurt as all and part of the protein in the chart above.
