Tired of having to buy your diet shakes or meal replacement shakes every day or every week? Try making them at home and save time and money!

Whether you choose to go to the mall and visit a nutritional supplement shop, so you can add supplements to your shake recipes or whether you prefer your shake recipes to contain just what you can get at the farm stand or grocery store; there are a million diet shake recipes out there. It can also be quite fun to experiment with your recipes and add your own personal touches to your delicious creations.

One of the best ingredients to add to any smoothie or diet shake recipes is low-fat yogurt. No mater whether you are making a water-based (ice) shake or a dairy-based (2 % milk) diet shake recipe, a little container of yogurt can add a lot. Yogurt adds a nice creamy consistency to your diet shake recipes, and it is recommended that you try it in your favorite smoothie recipe the first chance you get.

Here are some tried-and-true diet shake recipes.
