ivillage.com has a few, about.com is another great place to check, they seem to have lots of recipes. Allrecipes have quite a bunch and the members rate the recipes. There are dozens of sites to choose from. Allrecipe is my favorite due to them being rated.

Well just to give you a idea you can use any fresh or even frozen fruit, add it to the blender. Add some yogurt if you want and a splash of juice. If you use fresh fruit add some ice cubes, if you use frozen then you dont need ice. Then blend until its a smoothie!

howdy, Matt, Smoothies are not truly a recipe, they are an assembling of frozen culmination (freezing the fruit skill which you do no longer use ice, which provides smoothies a watered down flavor)......So, in spite of you have or like, so a protracted way as culmination bypass, upload them to a blender field and upload equivalent areas in spite of juice you like with milk and combine away.............the possibility is truly countless..........I ensue to love this blend: Frozen Pineapple Frozen Strawberries Frozen Banana a million/2 Grape Juice, a million/2 milk, combination the crap out of it, and pour right into a great glass and revel in!!!!

allrecipes.com and foodtv.com have all sorts of recipes for smoothies.
Don't be afraid to experiment. We usually mix frozen berries, OJ or milk, Vanilla yogurt, and a banana. If you have fresh berries, add some ice. You can use lots of different fruits, and different juices to make lots of different varieties

You can use just about anything you want. I use 2 cups of fruit, 1/2 cup of juice, 1/4 cup of yogurt.

You can use any fruit; berries, melon, whatever you have available. You need juice to keep the blender running smoothly. Yogurt will make it cream, or ice will make it slushy.

start in your imagination... use 2/3 frozen ingredients (works best if it is NOT ice cubes) and 1/3 liquid ingredients like juice or yogurt

add sugar or honey if necessary

i make all sorts of kinds of smoothies in mine...but my favorite is a pina colada

2/3 cup frozen pineapple
1/3 cup coconut milk
2/3 cup vanilla ice cream
1/3 cup pineapple juice

put frozen ingredients in first, add liquids and blend
