Loved this smoothie. I used non-fat vanilla yogurt and substituted skim milk for the orange juice to keep the calories down. Delicious and nutritious!

The recipe sounds good but then I looked at the caloric count--375 calories for 1 cup. That is just too much. There are many recipes for smoothies on this web site and I think it is worth the effort to look for them.

I made it with apple-cherry juice instead of orange juice because that's what I had on hand, and it turned out really yummy.
