For medical reasons, I'm supposed to consume a lot of yogurt. I tired quickly of eating it straight, having it over cereal, etc., so I have been making the Indian drink lassi and a lot of smoothies.

Lassi is simple: ~2 parts yogurt to 1 part water, with sugar, fruit, salt, or spices to taste. You can find a lot of complicated recipes online, but the base is simple and flexible. Enjoy!

For the past few months, I have had about one smoothie per day with frozen fruit, yogurt, sugar, and water. I hate cleaning my regular blender, but my hand blender works well inside my 21 oz. glasses, and it is easy to run it through the dishwasher.

To increase the calories of either without increasing the thickness too much, you might try using glucose rather than regular sugar (sucrose). Glucose is not as sweet, so you can add more.
