My grandmother uses this to help bring her blood pressure down when it gets to high. (Please not she also takes her BP meds, but uses then when it suddenly goes up)

Last summer I spent an inordinate amount of time and money in Jamba Juice. A retailer that creates blended drinks from fresh and frozen fruit and juices, Jamba Juice's smoothies are simply delicious. But at about $3.50 for a 16-oz size, they're a tad pricey for a more than once a week fix. At least for someone on a tight budget.


So I decided to look up the ingredients of my favorite all-fruit smoothie, Peach Perfection, and make one for myself. I found their ingredients to be startlingly simple and their smoothies incredibly easy to make!


Here's my favorite recipe, one that I revise each season for what fruit's in season and what frozen fruit I have stocked in the freezer.

A healthy low-fat, low-cal milkshake with a creamy texture. Perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Healthy easy summer drink

Very refreshing! If you like peppermint, you'll love this! Great after a vigorous workout or just a hot day!!

tasty drink to cool off with (may want to add extra cocoavia if you like it more chocolatey, only 20 calories per packet so it wont go up much)

A delicious way to meet your daily water goal, with a great taste that's refreshing & sugar free!

Inspired by Spark's 30 day fit food challenge.

I know there are a lot of sweet tea drinkers out there but I, for one, am striving to cut back on sugar. So I wanted to calculate a gallon of tea with only 1 cup of sugar. So I decided I would share this with all of my friends here on SparkPeople! ;-}

A delicious strawberry drink.

A warm holiday treat that's not too fattening, and just one is enough!

This is a variation of "Oprah's Chocolate Smoothie." It is great for breakfast or meal replacement . It is loaded with calcium and fruit. My boys love it and call it their "chocolate shake!"

Great smoothie to clebrate your workout and to speed your recovery.

I LOVE this smoothie, and it is low in calories....you can drink the whole concoction for a snack, and it will fill you up for a long time. I am a big smoothie fan for that reason....they are a filling snack, and nutritious to boot. I like to have them in the afternoon in the time between lunch and dinner, because that is when I am my hungriest. It fills me up and keeps me from grabbing junk to eat.

Bananas and Blueberries in a cool drink! Lots of potassium and B-12!

Warms up any day and conquers all chocolate cravings. Also includes a nice dose of healthy antioxidants.

This is a delious fruit smoothie that is low in calories.

This was my first ever attempt at making a GM smoothie. Not only did I enjoy it, but my daughters who are VERY picky and not big veggie fans had 2 cups each. WIN- WIN!

healthy yummy breakfast smoothie. Adapted from mrbreakfast.com's recipe.

This is a great treat for a cold day or to wind down in the evening or as a great drink in the morning instead of coffee?? The cinnamon really complements the Chocolate Almond Milk. Please rate this recipe, I am curious to know if you like as much as I do.

P.S. Land O Lakes Whipped Heavy Extra Creamy that you can buy at Costco has sugar listed in the ingredients but isn't enough to show up under the Carbohydrate/Sugars in the Nutrition Facts. I don't have anymore than the 2 Tbsp but if you do I would count it as 1 sugar. It's good without the Whipped Cream too!! MMmmm Enjoy! Tammy :)
