How to make a Biggest Loser Strawberry/Banana/Vanilla Smoothie

A strawberry smoothie is a low-fat treat.

The strawberry smoothie is often featured as a low-calorie treat on the television show "The Biggest Loser." The smoothie is an ideal way to get a sweet fix when you're having a craving, without ruining your diet. The smoothie gets its vanilla flavor from vanilla soy milk, which has less calories than whole milk. Plus, you can customize the strawberry smoothie with banana to add extra flavor and nutrients without adding extra fat to the drink.

Things You'll Need

• 1 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
• 1 cup strawberries
• 1 cup sliced banana
• 1/2 cup ice
• Blender

Instructions

1. Pour strawberries and diced banana into the cup of an open blender.

2. Pour ice over the top of the fruit and place the lid on the bender, leaving off the handle piece so there is an open hole in the lid.

3. Blend the fruit and ice, pouring the soy milk in through the opening as the smoothie blends. Continue blending until smooth.

4. Pour smoothie into two chilled glasses and serve.

Tips & Warnings

• For an attractive garnish, add a strawberry to the rim of the glasses.
