Tips

*If you like a bit sweeter, you can add 1/4 cup of granulated stevia. You can also use brown sugar if you aren't watching your sugar intake.

*If you want it creamy, you can add 1/4 cup of fat-free half and half or you can use heavy cream if you're not watching your fat intake.

*For a southwestern kick, add 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa before blending.

*If you aren't gluten-free, top with croutons or use a dip for your favorite bread.
