    I just recently discovered Jamba Juice smoothies they sell at the grocery store. OH MAN! I'm in love!

    I'm sure it's something you can make on your own though as opposed to buying the package. The interesting thing is that it's mixed with a cup of apple juice. They are SINFUL! Rasberries, blueberries and strawberries with nonfat yogurt and apple juice. They have a mango and pineapple with nonfat yogurt and apple juice. I just bought a new one that's blueberry pomegranate.

    I bought some fruits and froze them. I'm going to experiment with them....I'd prefer to make my own really!

    It's getting to be kind of fun! LOL.

    Cup of skim milk, scoop of chocolate protein powder and chocolate banana is pretty amazing. I can't offer any help in the tart section though , because that's really how I like my smoothies. I'd like to see other's recipes though.

    I don't know if you would consider it tangy or not; but I love this one. The original recipe calls for greek yogurt, but I also use regular yogurt.

    6 oz greek yogurt
    1/2 c pommegranite or blueberry juice
    1 c Frozen berries ( I like a mix of blueberries/blackberries/strawberries)

    Blend and enjoy.

    Oops you can also add a little bit of 60% or higher dark caco bar and or almonds or pecans too. I use only a square or two of caco and maybe an ounce of almonds when I'm looking to use it as a meal and want a little more protein. Most days I don't add the caco or nuts.

    I add a little stevia to my smoothies sometimes to make them more palatable - you might consider trying it :)

    I posted one to my blog recently if you want to check it out! http://canuckasaurusrex.wordpress.com/

    It reminds me of being a kid and having a jawbreaker... getting to the next flavour... then the next. Which is nice for me because large smoothies tend to bore me flavour-wise halfway through. This one is w/o dairy and it has an extra sweetness kick by using a very small amount of pure orange mango juice.

    Super yummy and full of all sorts of good stuff!

    The plain yogurt will give it that tang unless you sweeten it up a lot. I like to use honey greek yogurt if I'm using yogurt at all. Bananas and pitted dates are both good healthy ways to sweeten a smoothie without using sugar. Banana will also give it a creamier feel. I use a vanilla protein powder that's low carb and sweetened with Stevia. It tastes great and does a good job of taking the edge off a smoothie made with more tart ingredients. Tonight I had a smoothie with spinach (90 grams), blueberries (107 grams), strawberries (100 grams), Greek Gods honey yogurt (4 oz.), a scoop of protein powder and an ounce of lemon juice. It wasn't tart or overly sweet and was super refreshing after doing taekwondo.

    Thank you so much everyone!!! I now have a TON of recipes to test out and see what one works best for me. Yesterday I made a smoothie with frozen peaches and strawberries, about a half a cup of orange juice, 1 cup of water, a splash of fresh pineapple juice and 1 packet of Truvia and that was really yummy!

    Thanks again for all of your smoothie recipes! It is MUCH appreciated!
