Default Low carb smoothie. Is it possible?

Angela loves smoothies. I bought 4 (and thankfully only 4) Yoplait frozen
smoothie thingies. I think you just add milk and put them in the blender.
I know they contain berries, perhaps bananas, probably yogurt and no doubt
sugar. So not good.

When I make them from scratch I use frozen strawberries, a banana, rice milk
and a drizzle of honey. Or if making a dairy one I use real milk, plain or
vanilla yogurt and again the honey. Again, not good.

I need something lower in carbs and preferably without dairy because she can
have it only twice a week.

I am thinking I might be able to do a granita type of thing with frozen
strawberries by just whizzing them up in the Magic Bullet although I haven't
tried it yet. She might like that.

But can anyone think of how I could do a lower carb smoothie?

Thanks!
