How to Make Diet Shakes? 

with the best shake blender ever!!

Back to Basics SALPHA500 Smoothie Signature Smoothie Maker

Amazon Price: $44.99 (as of 10/12/2008)

My boyfriend and I are smoothie fanatics, and I often make giant smoothies for both of us, so I needed a blender powerful enough to take care of lots of frozen fruit at once. Man, does this thing do the trick! The pitcher is really wide, so ingredients at the top are more easily sucked down to the blades, and it almost never develops that annoying air pocket that prevents anything from happening at the bottom. My old blender would do that so often, it would take me forever just to make a smoothie for myself, and no way could it handle two at the same time. This one has a stir stick to keep things going, and since it's exactly the right length, I don't have to worry about it hitting the blades while the blender's on - when I have to use it at all. I can fill the pitcher literally to the brim and it has no trouble mixing really thick smoothies (frozen mangoes, strawberries, pineapple, melon, bananas, etc.) really well. I thought the pour spout would be a hassle, but it's very sturdy, never leaks and keeps things really clean - plus, you can take it off and replace it with a cap (included) if you want. The base is featureless except for the dial on the side, so it's super easy to clean too - when I have to, which is almost never. I just can't say enough about this blender. It's awesome!

How to Make Diet Shakes ~ with Avocado 

yes! I said avocado!!

You'd never think to add avocado to a diet shake, but it's a great idea. It adds a lovely smooth texture to your shake as well as adding good nutrients and healthy fats.

It sounds crazy ~ but it's good. Try it out.

Add the following ingredients to your blender

* 2 bananas
* 2 cups orange juice
* 1 cup of strawberries (preferably fresh, but frozen will do)
* 1 cup of orange or strawberry sherbet
* 1 cup ice
* 1 avocado, peeled and pitted

Blend the ingredients until smooth. Serve immediately.

Slim Smoothies ~ Low Calorie Diet Shakes 

Slim Smoothies: Over 130 Healthy and Energizing Recipes Without All the Calories

Amazon Price: $11.16 (as of 10/12/2008)

This book is great for someone like me who loves smoothies but hates calories. The recipes are divided into those that are low cal (below 350) and others that are ultra low cal (below 250). I even found some that are down in the 160's. I have a previous smoothie book by the same author that is very good, but I was attracted to this book by an article about it in Shape Magazine, and I haven't been disappointed. The recipes are tasty and I feel like I'm doing something good for myself. Highly recommended!

How to make Diet Shakes ~ Vitamin C Boost ! 

Delicious diet shake filled with vitamin C and no orange juice!

If you are in need of a little extra vitamin C, and want to use something other than orange juice to do it, try this diet shake recipe. It's sure to have you feeling better quick.

Combine each of the following ingredients in your blender.

* 3 cups of watermelon
* 1 cup cataloupe
* 1/2 cup strawberries
* 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
* 2 cups of ice

Blend until smooth and serve immediately.

Enjoy and feel better!

If fruit is not in season in your area you can also try a smoothie base. It's a great way to get all the goodness of fruit when they aren't in season.

How to Make a Protein Shake Taste Better 

you know they can be kinda bland

I enjoy protein shakes, and have finally found something that makes them taste delicious. I usually make fruity protein shakes, so when I found Nectar whey protein I was in heaven. This protein powder is so yummy you can put it in water and drink it plain.

It gives my protein shakes delicious flavor and they come out super fruity. I particularly like the Carribean flavor.
