Yummy and Healthy Smoothie:

This is a good snack for breakfast or before a workout or anytime of the day you need a good frothy pick me up. You can change the ingredients to your choice of fruits.

6 min 5 min prep
1 serving

1 banana
1 peach or nectarine
1/4 cup berries
8 ounces soy milk (Silk Soymilk plain)
1/4 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ

1. Place banana, peach (cut into pieces), berries, Silk Soymilk, low fat vanilla yogurt, and wheat germ in blender.
2. Combine ingredients by blending.
3. Serve.
4. You can substitute any type of fruit you like.

Answer 4

fresh organic fruits are the best, depending on what texture you want, you can make it with milk or yogurt, as long as its low fat. But its really all about the fruits that you use. Any kind of berry generally works better. Strawberry, blueberry, cranberry, etc etc. Kiwis and bananas always add a little extra taste.

Answer 5

If you like banana, just plain bananas (better if frozen) and milk makes a great smoothie, (It tastes like a milkshake since bananas are so creamy) and vanilla extract makes it even better. You could even try mango in it. Mmm.. My other favorite is frozen raspberries and strawberries, milk or fruit juice, and vanilla yogart. (You also might want to add sugar.) But it's pretty much good with any kinds of fruits. I like topping them off with whipped cream, but that's just me. lol

Answer 6

I have made them with OJ, frozen strawberries, and a banana.

The strawberry doesn't have to be frozen.

You can put just about any fruit in the blender with juice or milk and have a smoothie.

Answer 7

BANANA SMOOTHIE

4 c. orange juice
4 sm. bananas
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Blend all ingredients in a blender. Serve immediately.

Answer 8

What do you have at home? Just blend in whatever fruits you have and milk. I always add banana to the mix.

Answer 9

Take what ever you have..although use soyamilk instead of regular milk. It will give a hazel taste...
