has anyone got any recipes for smoothies?

Answer 1

My mom makes "fruit drinks":
Frozen fruit--strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, bananas (the texture is MUCH better for smoothies if you freeze them first. We've tried it both ways, and frozen bananas are much smoother and have a creamier texture.)

Canned/fresh (or frozen) fruit, as available: peaches, pears, pineapple

Orange juice--enough so that you can blend the mixture in the blender.

If you want, add vanilla or fruit-flavored yogurt or milk and a little sugar/honey (if it's too tart.)

Mom sweetens her fruit drinks with frozen orange juice concentrate.

Note: if you use fresh/refrigerated fruits, it will be unpleasantly lukewarm--grind in some ice cubes and some extra liquid to make it cold enough.

I particularly love a mix of peaches, raspberries, and orange juice. A few strawberries in the mix are also good.

Fruits I DON'T like in smoothies: melons and grapes. Melons are kinda watery, and grapes leave unpleasant pieces of grape skin throughout the mix. I despise fresh papaya, though I like it canned.

I haven't tried mangoes or guava/passionfruit nectar or juice, but I bet they'd be good. Instead of the orange juice concentrate, try a fruit nectar, like peach, pear, strawberry-banana...there are a lot of options if your store has the whole Jumex or Goya line of nectars. Also, try fruit blends from the freezer or juice section of the store.

Think about: bananas for body and sweetness. Pears for texture. Citrus/strawberries for tartness. Raspberries/blackberries for sweet-n-sour berry flavor. Pineapple for acidity and super-sweet tropical flavor.

Try your own blends! It's fun!

Answer 2

Any fruit - peel it if it is citrus fruit (citrus does not go so well with dairy as it can curdle).

Add (Soya) milk, yoghurt or a drop of fruit juice or water. If you like them thick but without the soya or yoghurt, you can add banana.

Add some prepared ginger - either freshly grated or prepacked as a paste. You could use some mint instead if you are using red fruits.

Whizz in the blender - I mean pulse the blender - I like red berries and mint - Sainsbury's sell them frozen so you just add ice, mint and water or apple juice.

Basically anything goes, add some ginseng if you like - just be creative. You can use apple, carrots and celery to make a more savoury one - just add a little apple juice for moisture.

Enjoy.

Answer 3

place right here factors in the blender for 2 servings: a million cup yogurt ( common or flavored, your decision) a million/2 cup ice cubes a million/2 - 3/4 cup any mix of fruit, I in lots of cases use frozen a million/2 cup juice alongside with white grape juice or apple juice, or only use water mixture and revel on your healthful and undemanding to make smoothie. this would properly be a very undemanding and adaptable recipe, the obtainable flavor mixtures are limitless!

Answer 4

I really like Banana and Blueberry. Blitz some ice then add a banana, a hand full of blueberries and some milk and blitz it all together. You can add a little Cinnamon as well which makes a nice change.

Try banana, strawberry and cherry

You can pretty much put in any fruit you like and can replace the milk with fruit juices too.

Write down any you like so you don't forget them!
