flop Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I've just treated myself to my first smoothie maker/blender. I love fruit and am looking for ideas of good combinations of fruit and juices / milk / yoghurt. If anyone has any favourites or know of online recipies please share.Yummm, have just enjoyed mango with orange juice for breakfast!Flop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I used to have a smoothie for breakfast every morning. My favorite was yogurt, soy milk, and frozen blueberries. Using frozen blueberries instead of ice made the smoothie very rich and very cold. It was like a blueberry milkshake every morning! Mmmmm.....Have fun with your new toy!Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajw4790 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Dizzygirl,I like Naked juices and Odwalla as well! They are good sometimes when I get real symptomatic, for a good boost of energy and nutrients. But, they are way too expensive... Oh, well!!!

RichardInAz Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Two of my favorite smoothies I make just about every night:Orange Peaches:In a blender combine:4 peaches, skinned and seeds removed*4 cups of ice2 cups of orange juice1/2 or 1 cup orange sherbetBlend and enjoy*one time I forgot to remove the seed, so I had to call poison control (the seeds can kill 'ya).My other favorite is an energy drink that is loaded with fiber, amino acids, protein and antioxidants. Its made with the a?a? fruit that is grown in Brazil (pronounced Ah-Sigh-EE). It is listed as Oprah's #1 food. Brazilians drink this stuff before and after exercising. It sort of tastes like chocolate and cherries and you can order the frozen stuff online for making smoothies.Chocolate A?a? Smoothies1 bag "Amazon Mania! AcaiRaw" from Whole Foods or 3 cups of AcaiRoots brand A?a? (order online from www.acairoots.com)1 cup of ice1 or 2 cups 2% milk (depending on the consistency you like)About 10 tbs Hershey's chocolate syrup (I just pour a bunch in)About 5 tbs pure cane sugar (or sweeten to taste)Blend and enjoy. You will be sitting on the ceiling after drinking this.Another good A?a? smoothy: Pineapple-Orange A?a? Smoothies1 bag "Amazon Mania! AcaiRaw" from Whole Foods or 3 cups of AcaiRoots brand A?a? (order online from www.acairoots.com)2 cups of ice1 or 2 cups pinapple-orange juice (depending on the consistency you like)Blend and enjoy.

shelby Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I got a book called the Ultimate Smoothie book when I got my smoothie maker. I love it and it gives great recipies. They sell them at amazon.com and I would get the used one, they are just as good, but they dont cost as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
