Healthy Blender Shakes
Does anyone have a Vita-mix(or any other "power food blender"?
I've had one for a couple years. I've never really used it that much except in the use of smoothies and milk shakes. I'm trying to loose some weight(10-15 pounds). I'm within the weight range I need to be, but I do have some belly fat and am interested in using the vita mix to help me with my dieting. What are some power shakes, or veggie juice recipes that actually taste good, but are healthy too? Thanks!
Lots of ideas here:

How to Make Diet Shakes and Lose Weight
It's important to know how to make diet shakes on your own, because they fill you up and they do not have too many calories in them. They will provide essential vitamins, interesting textures, and exotic tastes and will leave your tummy satisfied while providing essential calcium to your diet, thus accelerating your weight loss experience.
Diet shakes are generally 150 calories or less and they can be enjoyed with a meal, or as a snack. As shakes are wholesome and healthy you can even substitute breakfast with any of the delicious diet shake. The majority of diet shakes are prepared within 2 minutes or less with a minimum of ingredients, nor will you need to purchase an expensive mixer to make your shake. A simple hand-held electric mixer or a blender will do the job.
There are many diet shakes you can choose from, as all these recipes are very flavorful and rich in nutrients. Now the big question, how to make diet shakes? They are easy to make, just throw the ingredients into a blender and process until smooth.
