I started making these the first time I followed an insulin resistance diet...The South Beach Diet. Originally created by Dr. Arthur Agatston for heart patients, it touts eating lean meats, legumes, nuts, low-fat dairy, non-starchy vegetables, and non-starchy fruits. This is basically the diet I'm following now except I eat any meat or dairy I want regardless of fat, and not really any fruit. Just this week I bought some frozen organic berries - after realizing the berries in my freezer from last summer tasted like freezer and plastic, boo. I use organic, plain, low-fat yogurt (although I'm going to have to stop buying kroger brand because I noticed how "thick" it was and it turns out it has added corn starch, among other things). This isn't the first time Kroger, even their Private Selection, has disappointed me with adding ingredients to a formerly great product. If I had my druthers it would be my own sheep or goat's milk yogurt. But until then my favorite brand is Seven Stars Farm.
1 cup plain, organic yogurt
1 cup frozen, organic fruit
5-10 drops of liquid stevia, or 1 packet of powdered (2 servings at most)
1 Tablespoon ground Flax seed (optional, tastes great when using frozen Mango)
Organic Milk, Juice, or Water if too thick to blend
Put all ingredients in a blender (I use the Magic Bullet), and pulse till smooth. Enjoy!
