All-Around Good Smoothie

Ingredients
1/2 cup nonfat milk
1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1/2 frozen banana, peeled and chopped
2 Tbl. powdered protein supplement
1 1/2 Tbl. flax seed
1 tsp. Honey
1/2 cup Frozen strawberries
Instructions
In a blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. I use tofu instead of the protein supplement because it adds a lot of calories and you still get the protein. The nutrition information for this recipe includes the protein powder. Add about 65 calories for .25 of a block of tofu and 6.5 grams of protein. I add less than .25 of a block. Feel free to play around with the fruit and the yogurt too.
