Dietitian's Message
Shakes are a great way to increase fruit and milk intake. The skim-milk powder adds thickness to the Sunny Orange Shake and boosts the calcium content to 353 mg per serving. The vanilla yogurt used in these shakes has a slightly higher carbohydrate content than most other yogurts, so people with diabetes may want to choose a lowercarbohydrate brand.
Quick Shake
Once a week, 12-year-old Amelia Roblin gets up early to treat her dad to a smoothie. She combines 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk, one 6-oz (175 g) container flavored yogurt and 1/2 cup (125 mL) fruit in a blender. The flavor combinations are endless. Try peach yogurt and strawberries; lemon yogurt and frozen blueberries and strawberry yogurt and bananas.
