Anyone have any good fruit smoothie recipes that don't taste "tart" or "sour"? I made one this afternoon with strawberries, raspberries, plain non-fat yogurt, skim milk, honey and ice, and it was really tangy...I guess you could say. I like smoothies that taste really sweet but not tangy or sour. There is this little cafe' down the street from where I work that makes amazing fruit smoothies, but I think they are high in calories and probably not too healthy. Any ideas on how to make a fruit smoothie more sweet than tart? Also, dairy is not a must in a smoothie for me, so if you have any without dairy that would be even better! Thank you!!!

I would love to know some recipes! I love Tim Horton's fruit smoothies, but would save money and calories with something made at home. Hope to hear some good ones0

Hi there! I make mine with the following fruits/veggies:
1 banana (frozen)
1/2 cup strawberries (frozen)
1/2 cup blueberries (frozen)
1-2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup vanilla almond milk
Its about 250 calories...super delicious! Good luck! I think the key is really using a frozen banana!0 -
Add a scoop of vanilla protein and a little milk (instead of or in addition to the yogurt). May help.
My smoothies usually have blueberries and/or strawberries, cinnamon, avocado (I know it sounds strange, but it's really good for you, and it gives it a wonderful texture), spinach, protein powder and milk or yogurt. I didn't use to put protein in it, but I've found it gives it a nice flavor, and since we're working out, the protein is great!

I use frozen peach, strawb & banana (Dole) and blend in my bullet with a splash of pineapple coconut juice (Tetra Pack in ethnic aisle) and a tsp of ground flax powder, one ice cube.
No dairy, or sweetener. Taste awesome.0 -

A great one that my husband and I like is 12 oz of V8 fusion light grape and rasberry juice, 1 apple, 1 pear, 2 bananas and a cup of ice.
Another is 12oz of V8 fusion strawberry banana light juice, a cup of lueberries, a cup of strawberries, one banana, and red grapes(optional) with 1 cup of ice.
These smoothies combine V8 that already has 1 full serving of fruit and vegetables, then adding whole fruit! Both recipes make a full blender of smoothies to share!!0 -
I use 1 cup coconut milk, 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder, 1/2 frozen banana and 1/2 cup frozen mixed fruit. Add a few ice cubes and it makes a huge glass for under 350 calories.0

I use 6oz vanilla yogurt, 1 C. frozen fruit (strawberries or mixed berries), and 4-5 ice cubes. Super low cal & fat free. You could add some protein powder too.
Another good one is 1 C. skim milk, chocolate protein powder, and 1 c. frozen strawberries. Yum!0 -

The vanilla protein powder I use is pretty sweet, so usually a scoop of that helps a bit. Sometimes I use vanilla almond milk, and I've heard coconut milk is excellent as well. You could also try vanilla or flavored yogurt instead of plain. I sometimes make my smoothies with 100% fruit juice instead of milk/water, but I'm not sure that would help with the sweetness factor. Also, use bananas! They're really sweet and go great with pretty much every other fruit. Is usually use half of one in my smoothies so that it doesn't overpower the other flavors. I put sherbet in mine also because I feel like it adds a lot of flavor and usually not too many extra calories.
A typical smoothie for me contains:
5-6 ice cubes
1/2 c frozen fruit
1 scoop sherbet
1/2 c water/milk/almond milk/juice
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 banana0 -

I'm a big fan of chocolate smoothies/shakes. If you like chocolate, there is a lot you can do and get that sweet treat!
I use Soy Slender Chocolate Milk and chocolate protein powder. Depending on the calories I need or if it is after a workout, depends on if I use the powder and how much of it.
To the chocolate goodness I add either banana, peanut butter, strawberries or raspberries. (Frozen or fresh. Ice or no ice.) :bigsmile:0 -
I made a yummy one the other night...
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup canned peaches (in light syrup)
1/2 cup frozen peaches
add a handful of ice cubes until you're happy with the thickness
250 calories, really yummy!0 -
Every single morning I have:
1/2 banana
1/2 cup strawberries
1/4 cup chobani non fat plain greek yogurt
4 oz. apple Juice
4 oz. water
I LOVE it!0
