Smoothies!

I started making my own smoothies and fruit drinks once I realized I was paying way too much for Jamba Juice. I don't exactly remember the ingredients I use, as they vary every time. However, I try to include a variety of fruits: strawberries, bananas, oranges, etc. Sometimes I add a dash of apple juice or orange juice, other times when I want to have it milkshake-consistency I add milk.

i'm so envious of you i would love to have a blender and blend my own stuff. the banana and strawberry smoothies with a drop of grape juice are always good. i like the plain non dairy stuff. http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Drinks/Smoothies/Main.aspx try out this link it has a whole bunch of recipes on there.

I have my own blender as well, and it has a special feature to make smoothies and blend ice.. LOL.. but I don't usually make smoothes, I usually just blend watermelon smoothies, that's it.. LOL.. But what I love making is chocolate shakes!!! LOL.. ice-cream, chocolate syrup and very little milk, sometimes I don't even put milk, just put ice cream, ice, chocolate syrup.. YUMMM!! I was thinking of being a little adventurous, like making a chocolate banana shake.. but I'm afraid that I'd go to the loo after that.. LOL.. But, I'll update, once I actually get more courage to make other varieties.. :)

I LOVE SMOOTHIES! Whether it be chocolate or fruit smoothies. During summer, mum and I would like to prepare them at home so we can have instant refreshment. Plus, it is quite healthy so everyone loves it!

I have a couple of smoothie books I use. My mothergave me this recipe. It doesn't sound like it would taste good, but is delicious. grapes kale spinach a little oatmeal a little flaxseed a banana some blueberries honey ice You can use howevermuch ingredients you want. I use Crystal Lioght Fruit punch in this smoothie. You can use juice or ay other drink mixes for the liquid. Let me know if you try it and what you think.

Smoothies can be a great way to add some nutrients into your day. You can even use green tea in them, which is a great way to get the health benefits of green tea without the taste, especially for people who don't like it. There's a great recipe at www.squidoo.com/greenteasmoothie which is quick and easy too.
