smoothie recipies?

Question

For Christmas my mom got a blender and I'm looking for yummy smoothies so we can try the blender out. Or any recipies in which you use a blender. Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use any blend of fruit or juice you like. The juice is for the liquid you need to keep the blender running smoothly. Yogurt will give it a creamy texture. I usually use 2 cups of fruit, 1/2 cup of OJ, and 1/4 cup of yogurt.

Answer 2

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

8 ounces crushed ice
1 ounce strawberry juice
4 strawberries
1/2 banana
11 ounces plain nonfat frozen yogurt
Fusion Boosters (ginseng, bee pollen, multivitimin, ginko biloba, lecithin, and/or soy protein)

Blend 15 to 20 seconds, use a spatula to remove the thick and creamy smoothie from the blender

garnishe this frosty smoothie with orange slices. Coconut sorbet and ice cream are available at some supermarkets; you can also buy the latter by the pint at ice cream shops.

Answer 9

My daughter's favorite:

6-8 frozen strawberries (you can use fresh but you will need to add ice); 1 vanilla yogurt, 1 banana, and a little oj. We experiment all the time and add different fruits. Trader Joes sells frozen mixed berries which is also great.

Answer 10
