Smoothies are so popular and many of us do try to have a smoothie on a daily basis.
We usually have bananas, apples, berries and some fresh pineapple available to make our smoothies the way we enjoy them.
Some do prefer to just eat fruit without making a smoothie.
If you make smoothies, which fruits or vegetables do you like to include?

@PatZAnthony Hey! I have to look for some smoothies ideas! I have to eat more fruit and preparing smoothies could help a lot

@AngelesF We find it easy to mix a banana, an apple and some pineapple or berries for each serving. Always delicious.

Strawberries are a popular choice here too. These always add a touch of sweetness.

Bananas are really popular here. You may have notice that in my photo shared above.

We could probably live on smoothies during the hot weather. Might give it a try this year.

@TheHorse We bought ours from a flea market. These things are often unused and 1/3 the price of stores.

We like to cut up apples and bananas with berries, b/c that is what we like. Why not use what tastes good to you and go from there.
No, we don't know of such a website b/c we are food snobs and think we know best ;-)

@CRK109 Yes, you might want a little more than blueberries!

@PatZAnthony it all sounds really good! I'm going to have to jump in and try once I do some grocery shopping and have more than just blueberries in the house! lol

I gave my Vitamix to a friend and I haven't had a smoothie in a long time. I might buy another one soon. I can make something similar with my juicer but not so liquidy.

Those Vitamix units are really nice. We are just using a regular blender at the moment. A bit time consuming, but most things that are important are and worth it to us.

With Vodka, I make bad jokes. Actually my sister usually just buys them because we are to lazy. We did a couple of times, but now she usually just buys them. I personally tend to go for bad things like soda if it were up to me.

We eat a lot of raw food. The smoothies help those with digestion issues or poor appetite take in nutrients.

@silvermist Sometimes we add fruit juice we have made. We also juice, so this is an option for us.

I very seldom have that much fresh fruit int he house at one time. My husband isn't into fruit and he would never drink a smoothie. I don't own a blender.

@AbbyGreenhill We'd have to change our game plan if we were not able to get the fruits and veggies we want (or think we need) here.

@PatZAnthony The store where we shop isn't big on decent fruit. I have oranges in the fridge!

@Courtlynn No one here uses milk. The smoothies are good as a meal on the run also for some who are too busy to sit still!

It depends where I am when I make smoothies. When I'm in my home country, I make smoothies from pineapple, jackfruit, mangoes, jackfruit, star apple, young coconut and some other tropical fruits in season. When I am in Germany, I make smoothies from kiwi, strawberry, apple and orange.

We don't measure either. How boring are those who see the need to do that, especially with smoothies.
