    Oatmeal also has 7 grams per serving.
    Most low fat yoghurt is also made with Splenda or aspartame, thus low sugar.
    So 1/2 cup of LF yoghurt is 6 grams of protein and 1/2 cup of oatmeal is ~4; the smooth has at least 10 grams of protein.

    Very tasty! I only used 1/2 a banana to reduce sugar, and used plain low-fat Greek yogurt for a little bit of protein, but I stayed full all day :) My body type doesn't require very much protein, but for those that need more you can add protein powder (I personally don't like the taste) or almond butter.

    I'm sorry, but where is the protein? It's pretty much just all sugar which equates to simple carbohydrates. Low-fat anything does not mean low sugar, honey!

    This was a good smoothie. I'm not big on banana flavor so I used only 1/2 a banana (frozen from freezer) and a small container of greek yogurt (5.6oz). It turned out really good. The juice I used was the V8 fusion juice that is low in calories. Will definitely make again.

    Angel, this would be a great thing to start with in the morning, but by no means, it's not going to make you lose weight. That will happen with a balanced, whole foods diet, and exercise....but i think these are great to drink in the morning.

    I think I'm going to try...just wondering if anyone did lose any weight drinking it...

    Love this recipe. I use frozen strawberries instead of raspberries and skip the ice. To the person asking about bananas, you can certainly skip the bananas and perhaps up the berry of choice by another 1/2 cup. I've done it with 1 cup strawberries when I didn't have any bananas.

    ...only adjustment...was that I put the [OM] through my coffee grinder, ... it made a great difference in the texture of the smoothie... it is much smoother."

    Sounds good for "mouth feel" aspect. Only draw back is ANY processing makes it more like a simple sugar--more quickly digested, giving a glucose spike--instead of being digested over longer period of time (ie,stick 2 Ur ribs feeling) I dont buy quick-OM 4 that reason. I Will TRY2 LEARN2 appreciate it as Is 1st

    Why is it called "Lauren Conrads 7-Day to Skinny Jeans" smoothie?

    I used milk instead of a juice and it turned out fine. It tasted like a banana oatmeal shake really.

    This sounds so yummy I really want to try it, but has anyone tried it without the banana? I am allergic to them and was wondering if I could substitute something else?

    This is truly delicious, the only adjustment I made for my taste was that I put the oatmeal through my coffee grinder, (cleaned it very well before I did this), and it made a great difference in the texture of the smoothie, I think you will find that it is much smoother.

    Diane, quick oats are made to absorb liquid more rapidly and would probably change the texture of the smoothie. I haven't made it this way, but found this when using quick oats in other recipes.

    Q: Is there any reason why I should not use Quick Oats?

    I can not wait to try this tomorrow. Now I just need to add my Body By Vi Protein Powder and I will have a healthy and delicious protein shake to start the day out right!
