Answer 2

Frozen berries in winter, fresh in summer, any other fruit you fancy, then to blend with fruit juice i.e Apple or mixed tropical is nice, not too much, you can all ways add more to make the consistency you like, then add either banana which mellows out the flavour, natural yogurt, Greek is fab, or a little milk, soya is also nice, if the fruit you are using are a little sharp or you like a sweat taste add a little honey blend and enjoy.

Answer 3

To get a great smoothie put in pinnaepple chunks from tins, use peach slices from tins and muller strawberry yoghurt ,,,mixed together it is wonderful

Answer 4

Here are some

Ridgerunner's Blended Spinach Salad

1 cup pineapple
1 orange
1 pear
1 apple (or a couple carrots)
1/8 slice lemon with peel
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 large handful raw spinach (about 8 oz - yes, 1/2 lb!)

First blend the pineapple, orange, pear, apple, lemon and flaxseed to a nice fluid. Add the frozen blueberries and blend them in. Last, add the spinach and blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth.

It looks horrible (purplish brown) but tastes delicious! (and you will be surprized how much it "compresses down" with blending - 1/2 lb compresses down to about 1 cup fluid).

The secret is to have lots of sweet and fluidy fruits to overwhelm the subtle flavor of spinach. You CANNOT taste the spinach - I guarantee it!

Answer 5

I used to do them and they always came out too thick.

It's just a matter of guessing on most things, but basically put all your fruit in and then add ice and/or fruit juice to make it more runny.

Add small amounts of fruit and blend until you get the right consistency.

Answer 6

One tip that helped me a lot was to use frozen bananas. It makes the frozen texture with out having to deal with ice cubes. Frozen concentrate juice is good too, frozen berries, etc.

Answer 7

smoothies need bananas cause that gives you the thickness then add berries or melons freeze your fruit for an added thickness but not to much juice cause it causes it to be runny

Answer 8

This is what I do. 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, 1 cup of frozen fruit, splash of orange juice, 1/4 cup water. Blend. good luck.

Answer 9
