Strawberry Lite Vanilla Smoothie

1 cup Fresh Strawberries or frozen with no sugar or syrup added

1 cup 8th Continent Light Vanilla Soymilk

Artificial sweetener if needed

Ice cubes for thickener

Directions

Add 8oz of 8th Continent Light Vanilla Soymilk. I suggest this because the carb count and sugar is so much lower than Silk or other brands of soy milk.

Add 1 cup of hulled strawberries

Blend to frappe consistency, do not liquify. Taste before adding sweetener because of sweetness of soy milk.

Drop in a few ice cubes which will chill and thicken this further. Makes a great snack or even breakfast drink when you do not feel like eating a meal.

You are welcome. Being a newbie I want good tasting to keep me on track so I keep inventing things LOL If you like chocolate and peanut butter together try my Florida Chocolate Elvis. They make great snacks or meal replacements.
