i always go through my fridge every few days and throw the fruit that is starting to go soft into baggies and on into the freezer.
that way, when i want a smoothie, i can just grab them out of the freezer and they're ready to go.
i also add yogurt, honey, and a little ice plus some fruit juice- pulse and go.
if you don't want dairy in your smoothie, just add fruit juice, honey or sugar (i dissolve it in water first). plus- i LOVE sparkling water in my smoothies. gives it a nice little kick of bubbles without being too sweet.
you really don't need recipes for smoothies- just add any fruits and veggies that sound good, plus juice, sweeteners, flavor (like ginger or mint), and go!

1 frozen banana, sliced (great when bananas start to get too ripe, just toss them with skins into the freezer)
1/2 cup strawberry yogurt
1/4 (more or less) of 2% milk
Blend and voila ! Tastes better than a traditional milkshake and is much better for you.
