How to Make Diet Shakes?
with the best shake blender ever!!
Back to Basics SALPHA500 Smoothie Signature Smoothie Maker
Amazon Price: (as of 02/13/2012)![]()
My husband 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!!
It sounds crazy ~ but it's good. Try it out.
Add the following ingredients to your back to basics smoothie maker
* 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: $7.65 (as of 02/13/2012)![]()
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!
Combine each of the following ingredients in your Back to Basics Smoothie Maker.
* 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.
Make a Diet Shake for Breakfast ~ Banana Diet Shake Recipe
* 1-1/2 cups fat free milk
* 1 peeled and sliced medium banana,frozen - wrap sliced banana in plastic wrap or place in a freezer storage bag - freeze several hours or overnight.
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, optional
* Cinnamon for garnish, optional

- Oh wow, I am loving some of these recipes. My wife and I currently use the ViSalus Vi-Shape Shake mix as meal replacements and we have several favorite recipes but we are always looking to switch things up a bit. I would love a visit to my first squidoo lens which is on this topic as well. Cheers. www.squidoo.com/robertandjaimiegrissom

- Do these diet shakes really work? I've heard of them, but they seem like they would be tasty and work at the beginning, but afterwards, it seems that you would get sick of them. But I suppose that happens with everything that you try over and over again.

- The banana diet shake is a big favorite of mine and a great way to kick start your day. Combine this with some tone stomach exercises as part of a cardio workout and you're well on your way to losing that body fat. Something for everyone here, nice lens.

- Thanks you, Jackie. I Iove your ideas and must say that the avocado shake is incredible. I never believed it until I went to Bali, where it's a daily thing there. The blender, I've never tried, but have the Vitamix. I'll have to check out your Back to Basics SALPHA500 Smoothie recommendation I'll have to add that over at my friend's site.

- I love smoothies. Just recently I tried another Squidoo foodie's green smoothie recipe, her version has leafy greens and bananas and some other fruit, my version has leafy greens, pineapples and oranges and got really addicted to it. Now I am wanting to try your diet shake. Is this going to help me lose another inch from my waist?

- Good topic Jackie. Protien shakes are great for snacks or when you have a sweet craving. Another good tip for making your smoothies more frothy and thick is adding 1 tsp of flaxseed oil.

Banana shakes are my favorite, but my blender doesn't handle bananas too well.
Guess I'll have to get one of those Smoothie Makers to make better shakes for my a>.
