Answer 4

i got really good at mixing smoothies a couple of years ago - this works for almost any fruit - about 1/2 cup of ice (perferrably already crushed), 1/2 of plain yogurt, cup of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, bananas - i never tried any citrus but its probably good) and then mix in enough milk to keep everything liquid so it doesnt break the blender - and blend til smooth. add milk to make it more or less thick
