Low fat, low calorie smoothies can be made for a quick way to cool down,a way to get five-a-day if your not overly keen on fruit or if you replace one meal a day with a low fat low calorie smoothie can even help with a calorie controlled diet.In my case i found it a great way to eat 5-a-day,im not a keen lover of fruit or veg but i am aware that you need to eat these to keep yourself healthy.When i went to australia i found that literally everywhere i went had a smoothie stall.They love them out there and the varietys on offer made my head spin.My girlfriend had a few different ones which sounded hideous to me but suprisingly when i tried them they were delicious,so as a heathy option for my poor diet they worked very well.So below are a few low fat.low calorie recipes that i have tried and made myself at home using simple ingrediants and they all taste fantastic.Give them a go.

1/2xripe mango .

1smbanana

1/4ptskim milk

100mlfruit juice

1tbllow fat natural yoghurt

This one i tried in australia,I hate eating banana's i just cant stand the texture but this made it easier to get in the fibre,pottasium and vitamin c that banana's hold.It is also a great one to have just prior to a workout as it gives you endless energy.This one tastes great if you prepare it the night before and put in the fridge.

1/2cup frozen raspberries

1/2cup frozen unsweetened strawberries

3/4cup pineapple juice

1cup nonfat vanilla yogurt

This one is good as it contains virtually no fat or calories so is great if you need to eat but are on a calorie controlled diet.
