Sunrise Smoothie

Pam-I-Am's Note:

This recipe is from a Low Glycemic cookbook. If you are diabetic or eating the low-glycemic way, this rates in the 'very low' category of below 39 if made as directed with a sugar-free yogurt. The flax meal adds a good amount of fiber and it's great for you too! I had one for breakfast and wasn't hungry for the whole morning! The nutrition is: 182 calories, 35 'good' carbs, 3.4 g fiber, 10 g Protein, 327 g calcium.

This is the first smoothie that I've had and I liked it. Very healthy. DH thought it was OK but it it's not pancakes. He'll get used to it as I'll make this often this summer.
