We’re keeping with our low calorie, weight loss smoothies as part of our healthy eating plan. This delicious smoothie is based on a recipe from David Zinczenko at EatThis. The details are at the end of the post, as usual.
If you are not used to adding ginger to your smoothies I recommend starting of with one teaspoonful and building up as you get used to it. David says …
Ginger packs high levels of health-boosting phytonutrients. But use fresh ginger: Chances are you bought that powdered ginger in your cabinet three years ago when you made a pumpkin pie, and it’s been losing potency ever since.

Recipe: Strawberry Yogurt Ginger Smoothie
Serves 2; approx 200 cals each
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sliced Strawberries, fresh or frozen, (54 cals)
- 1 frozen Banana, (105 cals)
- 1 cup unsweetened Almond Milk,* (30 cals)
- 1 cup nonfat Greek Yogurt, (130 cals)
- 1-2 tablespoon fresh Ginger, peeled and chopped, (6-12 cals)
- 2 tbls ground Flaxseed, (75 cals)
- Dash of ground Pepper
Optional: Water to blend
Blend until smooth and enjoy.
Note:
The original recipe uses protein powder. Boost the protein and calcium in this smoothie even more by using skim milk – 8 g protein and 83 cals per cup.
Fortified almond milk has a good range of vitamins and added calcium, but homemade lacks these.
Add half a cup of Oats and boost the protein again by 13 grams. The calories would then be around 300 per serving, bringing it close to the meal-replacement level of smoothie.
