Smoothie Help . . .?

Question

How can I make smoothies at home ?
I have a blender which I have been told will work - As long as I cut the fruit pieces really small.
The only fruits I like are :
Apple
Banana
Grape
Strawberries

With that limited selection - What smoothie can I make ?
And what other ingredients will need to be added ? Milk or water =S
10 Points, Thank-you =D

Answer 1

Strawberries and bananas would be the best choice for your smoothie.

You can add a variety of liquid to make it smooth, it depends on your tastes:

orange juice or you favorite juice
milk
yogurt and one or all of the above.

If you add water you will be watering down the flavors but you will also be saving calories.

It is always nice to add some ice for some smoothie body.

It is not necessary to cut the fruit up in terribly small pieces - just in chunks and let the blender do the work.

Other smoothie fruits that are good are:

mango
papaya
blueberries
pitted cherries
melons
peaches

You can also add things like protein powder or even tofu for a more filling meal.

I think you will find that apples are too chunky and that grapes aren't that much fun either because of their skins.

Good luck!

Answer 2

MMM I Was obsessed with smoothies last summer!
Apple grape would be really good! Throw in about 6 ice cubes, then the apple slices (1 apple should do), a handful of seedless grapes, 2-3 tablespoons of sugar, 1/4 any kind of fruit juice (white grape would be awesome!), and 1/2 cp of vanilla yogurt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
You can basically follow these instructions, and just mix up the fruits and juices.
Like banana, strawberry, and milk

Have fun!

Answer 3

Strawberries with some vanilla yogurt, or with orange/lemon/lime sorbet and some soda water.
Strawberries and bananas mix well too, with yogurt and honey.
Apples and grapes aren't the best smoothie fruits.
