Need a replacement for your mid-afternoon soda fix? Wet your whistle with this smoothie made with fruit and yogurt and just a hint of honey added sweetness.

Here's how to make it:

Blend together 1 cup of plain yogurt (12 grams of carbs), 1 cup of fresh strawberries (12 g), 1 teaspoon of honey (6 g), and 1/2 cup of crushed ice.
