Nothing can be quite as delicious and satisfying as a great diet shake, especially in the hot summer months that we are now enjoying.

Diet shake recipes

One of my favorite ingredients to add to any smoothie or diet shake recipes is low-fat yogurt. Whether you are making an iced-based shake or a low-fat milk-based shake, a little container of yogurt can add a lot. Yogurt lends a nice creamy consistency to diet shakes, and I recommend that you try it in your favorite smoothie recipe the first chance you get.
