Recipe: Greek Smoothie


This is a great lunch option when you have loads of stuff to do but don't want to find yourself scrambling for food at a drive-thru. I've always loved green smoothies, and this one is definitely flavorful. I call it a Greek smoothie because of its Greek yogurt base with overtones of cucumber. I'll definitely be having this again.



Ingredients:

6 oz. plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
8 oz. raw cucumber, washed and sliced
1/4 small cantaloupe, cubed
2 packets of Stevia



Directions:

Add yogurt, cucumber, and melon to a blender being sure the yogurt is on the bottom. This will help with the blending process. Sprinkle on 2 packets of Stevia. Blend to desired consistency (I liked having a few chunks of the fruit and vegetable throughout the smoothie. Enjoy!
