This is a wonderful time of the year to enjoy a Weight Watchers Friendly Strawberry Smoothie.
I am seeing some great looking strawberries everywhere it seems!
Weight Watchers Friendly Strawberry Smoothie
This recipe has been pretty popular since it was first posted.
I like that this recipe is pretty healthy looking. However, it can be as healthy as you want it to be as well.
The average strawberry has about 4-6 calories in it.
For me, I like that they have about about a net .5 grams of carbs each. Also, we know that strawberries naturally give us some Vitamin C as well.
This smoothie is diabetic and Weight Watchers friendly
If you are a follower of these diets then you will be happy to know this. One half cup of this smoothie gives us ½ half fruit exchange. The fruit is all natural.
The recipe calls for a sugar substitute as well.
I use Splenda in my recipe instead of sugar. You are welcome to use the sugar alternative of your choice as long as he equivalents match up. Agave nectar or honey may be used in their equivalent.
Orange zest and orange juice is also used to make this.
Using a single orange for the zest and then for the juice is an easy way to use the orange. However, a simple alternative to using an orange could be to use a lemon or a lime. You can easily find orange zest online.

Sugar Free Diva
Hi. There is natural sugar in this from the strawberries, orange juice and the yogurt and thus, carbs. Although not a lot of carbs. You could omit the orange juice and strictly use a low fat Greek Yogurt to cut down on the carbs as well. thanks
