Low Fat Chocolate Banana Smoothie
Combine banana, chocolate pudding and low fat milk and it makes one delicious, highly nutrient charged, smoothie. I’ve noticed that this low fat drink keeps me from feeling hungry or fatigue, almost for 2 hours. So if you like chocolate, banana, and can handle the milk – you should try this easy blender recipe. If you are lactose intolerant, use low fat soy milk (soy milk: 8oz = Calories 70, Calories from Fat 20) instead or low fat milk (low fat milk: 8oz = Calories 110, Calories from Fat 20). If your symptoms are only slight, then give Organic Low Fat Milk (1 or 2 percent) a try. In any case, ask your doctor before changing your diet.
