Actually... I got some at the grocery store today! (These ones) I've found them at 3 local grocery stores, but I would assume the chains have them too!

The Strawberry Banana is pretty good!

If you have a Weight Watchers center near you, you can buy the powdered form of the smoothis mix there. I think it has 6 packages in it for around $6.00. They have a great choclate flavor. You mix 1 cup skim milk and the mix together. One smoothie counts as 3 points and ALL of your calcium for the day.

I add ice and wheat germ for extra fiber! They are great!!!!

I haven't tried them yet, I'll look for them the next time I'm in the city.

I bought the WW chocolate smoothie mix and its really is disgusting tasting. Just use chocolate sf/ff pudding and add some skim milk and some plain yogurt maybe and make your own. There are tons of smoothie recipes online..don't waste your money on WW, yuck..

My husband I are on WW and make a fruit smoothie every night, it has about 3 servings of fruit in it and helps you get in your 5 a day for fruits and veggies.

This is how we make it but you can play with it and make it your way if you want to:
For each serving we use:
1 banana
1 serving pineapple
1 cup light orange juice (Tropicana makes a light 1/2 sugar OJ)
2-3 packets of spenda
1/2 a tray of ice cubes

put your fruit, spenda and juice in a blender and blend until smooth, then add the ice and blend again until smooth. Pour it into a tall glass, add a straw and enjoy. We sometimes throw in just a really small spoon full (maybe a tablespoon) of FF plain yogurt.

Points for the fruit smoothie: we count it as 4 points and it is a wonderful end for the day but would be really good for breakfast or a mid day snack.

The mixes are available at the centers but the grocery stores now have WWsmoothies and yogurts which are one point each. I have not tried them yet but have seen them next to the other yogurts.

I'd like to know how the WW pre-packaged smoothies compare with the mix. I like the mix but it would be so much more convenient to buy the others. If anyone can tell me the pros/cons, I'd appreciate it!
