5 Healthy Smoothies Under 200 Calories!

When you're on a diet it's very hard to find snacks that subside your hunger but keep you within that dreaded calorie limit, especially when you're busy. I find that eating fresh fruit makes you feel really healthy and happy however if you are eating the same things day in day out it can get pretty boring.
 
 
That is why I have found 5 smoothie recipes that not only taste amazing but are all under 200kcal per serving! This way you are still eating the fruit which is diet friendly but it mixes it up a little for you so you don't get as bored!
 
Smoothie number 1
Cherry Vanilla Smoothie
serves: 4
calories per glass: 187
 

 What you will need:
1 cup non fat milk
2 cups frozen cherries
2 cups frozen raspberries
2 cups low fat vanilla yogurt
1/2tsp vanilla extract (optional)
2 cups ice
 
combine ingredients together in a blender until smooth
 
 
Smoothie number 2
Berry Good Peach Smoothie
serves: 2
calories per glass: 194
 
What you will need:
 
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup non fat vanilla yogurt
1 cup peaches (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup raspberries
1 1/2 cup ice
 
combine ingredients together in a blender until smooth
 
 
Smoothie number 3
Berry Banana Smoothie
serves: 2
calories per serving: 127
 
What you will need:
 
1 small banana, peeled, cut up and frozen
1/4 cup assorted berries, fresh or frozen
1 cup orange juive
3 tbsp non fat vanilla yogurt
 
combine ingredients together in a blender until smooth
 
 
Smoothie number 4
Blueberry Banana Smoothie
serves: 2
calories per serving: 133
 
What you will need:
 
1 medium banana, peeled, cut up and frozen
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup non fat vanilla yogurt
3/4 cup non fat milk
1/2 cup ice
 
combine ingredients together in a blender until smooth
 
 
Smoothie number 5
Banana Berry Cooler
serves: 2
calories per serving: 124
 
what you will need:
 
1 medium banana, peeled, cut up and frozen
1/2 cup fresh strawberries
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup non fat vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup ice
 
combine ingredients together in a blender until smooth
 
 
What I love about these smoothies is you can pretty much add whatever you want to them, if you don't like banana have raspberries if you don't like yogurt have milk! My favourite out of all the smoothies is the Banana Berry Cooler, it's delicious and so refreshing. I will definitely be drinking a lot of these when the summer comes! They're also good to stick in the freezer and either eat as a frozen yogurt or simply have another time. And they're great for when you're on the go.
