Yogurt
I am on a real yogurt kick these days. I have been making smoothies and my own fruit yogurt and yogurt cheese . This is waaaaay better than cream cheese if you ask me. I have been using a plain 3% mf yogurt, no sugar, no artifical preservatives or flavours, and has a really great tangy flavour and smooth consistancy.
Smoothies are a great substitute for a milkshake or even a cure for a small ice cream craving.
Here is one I made for breakfast on the weekend:
One banana – should be quite ripe
1/2 cup of plain yogurt
1/2 cup of 2% milk
1/2 cup of frozen mango chunks
1 tablespoon of honey
Pour everything in a blender and blend. You may find that you have to stop and give it a stir to get everything mixed up. You can adjust any of the above to your tastes. As a variation I made one where I added a teaspoon of almond butter and a splash of vanilla extract. Really tasty!
