Here are a few recipes that are on the following website http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/databa...
Breakfast smoothies
NB: once made, the fruit puree (without the liquid added) can be kept for 48 hours in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Ingredients
Green smoothie
3 kiwi fruit, peeled and roughly chopped
½ green melon, seeds removed, peeled and roughly chopped
150ml/5½fl oz still or sparkling water
Pink smoothie
100g/3½oz strawberries, hulled (or 100g/3½oz raspberries roughly chopped)
1 banana, peeled and roughly chopped
150ml/5½fl oz milk or soya milk
Yellow smoothie
½ mango, stone removed, peeled and roughly chopped
1 papaya, seeds removed, peeled and roughly chopped
Method
1. Place the fruit appropriate to your chosen smoothie into a food processor, and blend to a purée.
2. Add the appropriate liquid ingredient (e.g. the milk or sparkling water) and pour into tall glasses to serve.
3. For an extra treat, add a little low fat yoghurt and garnish with a sprig of mint
Red rooster smoothie
Ingredients
2x125ml fruit-flavoured yoghurt, ideally strawberry, raspberry or cherry
400g/14oz fresh or frozen summer berries
290ml/½ pint cranberry juice
2 bananas, peeled and roughly chopped
Method
1. Place all of the ingredients in a liquidizer and blitz until smooth. Pour into tall glasses and enjoy straight away. If you want your smoothie on the move, pour it into a clean 'take-away' coffee cup with a lid and drink it through a straw. If you're fussy about pips or seeds or you're worried they'll get stuck in your teeth, strain the smoothie through a sieve before pouring into glasses.

I like a simple one. About one cup vanilla yogurt, one cup strawberries (frozen work fine) and a banana. If you want it thinner, add some orange juice. For a "power" smoothie, throw in a scoop of protein powder. If you need a different kind of "power," try some fiber powder.
Try 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup chocolate pudding and 1 cup strawberries. Add a drop or two peppermint extract for an extra blast.
Experiment with any kind of fruit you like.
