WW Vanilla Chai Smoothie Review

I’d promised a review of the WW Vanilla Chai smoothie that I wrote about yesterday. The packet itself is 1 pt. and they suggest mixing it with a cup of water which would make the entire thing 1 pt. I thought that I’d rather add another point or two on there and have a better, creamier, more milkshake-like smoothie. I was originally going to use a cup of skim milk which would add 2 pts. but I then decided to try it with light vanilla soy milk instead. A cup of the light soy milk is 1 pt. and since it was already a vanilla chai flavor, I thought that it would compliment it nicely. I mixed it together in the blender and wasn’t too excited with the consistency; it seemed like a cup of milk instead of the treat that I was anticipating. I decided to throw in a few ice cubes and let that sucker spin for a good 30 seconds on high. Holy cow, that did the trick. What I ended up with was a huge tall glass of the yummiest smoothie. It was just delicious and very substantial. I chugged that sucker right down; maybe a little too fast. It filled me up and put a smile on my face. I’d definitely give this 3.5 stars out of a possible 5.

This sounds really good. I've always wanted to make smoothies of some sort, but it does seem like a lot of work. I'm so lazy :)

This is actually the easiest smoothie I've made. It's just 1 cup light vanilla soy, the packet of mix, and 3 ice cubes. I usually do them with fruit, yogurt, milk, etc. That is much more time consuming.
