It my humble opinion that smoothies made with vanilla ice cream taste better than smoothies made with plain or vanilla yogurt.

I hope you mean low fat ice cream. I make smoothies all the time and like the yogurt. I also have one of these right near me so I go there often as well.Originally Posted by rabbi

Low fat or not the ice cream taste better. Right now I`m finishing one made with Edy`s Grand Light Rich and Creamy Vanilla. 1/2 the fat. I too like the yogurt but ice cream is better.

Rabbi, Me thinks there is a problem in your definition of terms. I believe what you are drinking is a Milk Shake NOT a Smoothie. Though I`m sure it is smooth going down. :cool
FWIW I make our smoothies and use either yogurt or kefir as the base.
Smoothies, Milk shakes, gotta love em whatever you call them. Yes, I know there is a difference, but they both rock. :headbang
Mr. Clean my good man. My smoothies are made with a cup of ice cream or yogurt,a 1/2-3/4 cup of orange juice, 1 scoop of whey protein,strawberries,blueberries,banana,peaches,pi neapples and a handful of ice. Sometimes I add an apple or kiwi. This is not a milkshake in Cincinnati.

That sounds like a smoothie to me.
Aren`t "milkshakes" just milk, ice cream (or frozen yogurt) & flavouring?? :dunno
Don`t it always seem to go, you don`t know what you`ve got til it`s gone?WAC06/04/40 ~ 07/16/07
Could also be milk in a glass....shaken, not stirred.Originally Posted by norahcrv
I still don`t believe in grit guards.
Yes, if you add strawberries to milk, ice cream (I never heard of using frozen yogurt in a milk shake :dunno ) and you have a strawberry milk shake...banana milk shake and so on...Originally Posted by norahcrv
Rabbi, since you are making them yourself, you can call them what you like. Were you to go to a smoothie shop, I doubt ice cream would be an ingredient offered...even in Cincinnati...or Cleveland
I usually have a smoothie for breakast. My recipe comes from Men`s Health and is pretty good.
1 cup skim milk
2 tbl lowfat yogurt
1 tbl natural peanut butter
1 tbl ground flax seeds
1/2 cup or more frozen berries
1 scoop whey (vanilla or chocolate)
1 pkg instant oatmeal nuked in 1/2 cup of water
6 ice cubes or so.
Tasty, filling and a big punch of nutrition. :mohawk
No they would not add ice cream.Ice cream is a special additive I use to treat myself when I don`t want to use yogurt. I like vanilla whey the best.

Scott P, my basic smoothie recipe is similar. I don`t "nuke" my oatmeal, I put in the the VitaMix first and "blend" it into powder. I also use more yogurt (or kefir) @ 8 oz.
Whose whey product do you use? I use either Whey To Go or Ultimate Whey (I think) both products from Whole Foods Market
Have you found a good source for your ground flax seeds? Seems to be a product which can oxidize quickly. I try to grind my own, or use liquid (Barlean`s)
I`ll have to try the peanut butter! How about peanut butter and banana? Call it the Elvis
There is a Planet Smothie right up the street from my building and they have a bananna and peanut butter smoothie called the Elvis. Kinda spooky Mr. Clean.......Originally Posted by Mr. Clean

I use either EAS Simply Whey or Optimum Nutrition Whey. I`ll get them from GNC with my Gold Card or via online. I buy whole flax seeds then grind them in a small coffee/spice grinder just before use.Originally Posted by Mr. Clean
The peanut butter is a nice addition. I use the natural unsalted variety.
You guys are sick with your yogurt smoothies :hurl
*goes to make himself a chocolate cream pie shake* :drool
