Blend all of the skinny shake ingredients except the fruit until they are thick and frothy.
Add fruit to blender or mixing bowl. Gently blend for about 2 seconds – just enough to break up the larger pieces of fruit so they will pass through a straw and are in a drinkable form. Pour the skinny shake into chilled beverage containers and then top with reduced fat whipped topping if desired.
You can even fold the topping into the skinny shake mixture if you wish for an even thicker shake.
Weight Loss Tips, Low Calorie Recipes for Canned Fruit
Got a can of fruit? Then you've got all the weapons that you need to create a low fat, luscious treat for your weight loss plan.
To begin with, fruit is naturally low in calories and dietary fat content. And there are so many selections to choose from - that you're bound to find a fruit that you like. Most taste quite differently than one another. While we know that a watermelon is a melon, when we eat a cantaloupe or honeydew melon - the flavors are totally different; each have their own unique textures, tones, colors and flavors - just as berries, stone fruit and citrus selections.
We can mash or puree fruit and add it as a substitute for oil and other fats in our recipes. We can add it simply to produce more moisture in our recipe - or flavor.
We can use the juice to also add flavor and enhance other ingredients we use in a dish. So many different ways to use fruit and when they are in their canned form - they are readily available, economical and they have a very long shelf life in comparison to their fresh peers.
And be sure to purchase canned fruits that are packed in their natural juices for the most nutritional values and for the lowest amount of caloric content.
