Ok, easy, fast, my specialties. Cut up a fresh orange. Put the sections in a blender. Throw in a bunch of cleaned fresh parsley with the stems taken off. Add a tbs of coconut nectar. Add one ice cube or some crushed ice. Blend. Drink. Enjoy.0

I like using only juice and frozen fruit. Sometimes I'll add protein powder, but I don't do yogurt, sorbet, frozen yogurt, etc. I've just started making a new one that's really good:
1/2c coconut water
1/2c orange juice
1 banana
frozen strawberries
frozen pineapple
frozen blueberries0 -

i always wing it.
generally
1 cup berries
1/2-1 cup other fruit
1/2 cup milk or juice
sometimes OIKOS yogurt
1 tbsp sugar/stevia to taste
1/2 scoop protein powder or to taste
*edit, i use frozen berries, instead of adding ice cubes. the milk/juice helps with the consistency.
throw in whatever you want, its your smoothie! i have seen good healthy cake batter smoothie recipes but i haven't tried them, so no word yet if its good or not.0 -

An 8-9 inch banana only has 120 calories, which is less than a tablespoon of butter.0 -
Tips: you will need some kind of liquid, always. Water is easy/cheap/calorie free. Most fruits go fairly well with each other, so try combinations of your favorites. Frozen fruit is a good option if you are not always home to eat fresh stuff before it spoils.
Recipes:
1 cup milk of your choice (soy, almond, skim, whatever)
1/3 cup blackberries
1/3 cup blueberries
1 kiwi
1 cup milk of choice
1/3 cup strawberries
1/3 cup blueberries
1 mango
1 cup water
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1/2 cup peaches
1/3 cup raspberries
I like this...but I would add protein to them...Like Crystal Farms liquid egg whites or Protein mix....... and/or cottage chese and/or greek yogurt...0 -

Smoothie base, doesn't need anything added:
1 cup each:
liquid
frozen fruit
plain yogurt
Then add any or all of these if you want to get crazy
1 scoop protein powder
1-2 T wheat germ / oat bran / psyllium husk / other hippie *kitten*
handful of spinach
1 t cinnamon
banana
1 T coconut oil
canned pineapple
honey / maple syrup / stevia
I buy bananas, let them get squishy, then peel them, halve them, and freeze them so I can use them regularly, otherwise I'm sure I don't get enough potassium.0 -

I eat a banana every day and have lost 24lbs.0 -
I put in 2 cups OJ, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2-1 c frozen mixed berries, and a banana. Blend well and add a few ice cubes if needed for consistency before blending again. You can even add 1/2 c plain yogurt for a bit of protein & calcium. Mmmmmmm. (Oh, this makes about 3-4 cups, enough for at least 3 people, usually)0

some sort of liquid, (water or milk is what I go with--but juice works too) 4-8oz
frozen berries or fruit 1-2 cups
protein powder 1-2 scoops
ice, yogurt or sherbert
My favorite
1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder
6oz water
1 cup Safeway/Dominick's unsweetened Dark Cherries
(yogurt optional)
Tastes like Cherries Garcia. MmmmMMM0 -
When you buy your fresh fruit, if you don't use it all, freeze it in baggies and use the frozen fruit as your "ice".... and I love greek yogurt in mine0
