Does anyone have any good smoothie recipes - the non-ice cream variety.

Thanks!

[drdst122]

I like to use low-fat vanilla yogurt as a substitute.

I also use frozen strawberries and blueberries. (fresh is better, but 3x as expensive.)

Last add a little ice, more if you use fresh fruit, and half a banana and a little bit of milk.

Blend!

Mix and match, see what happens. Fruit juices/fruit/yogurt/milk/ice/booze

[inthewild]

1. 125 gr oats
2. 100 gr frozen strawberries
3. vanilla yogurt
4. 50 gr protein powder, 2 big scoops.
5. 500 ml low fat milk
6. banana
7. 2tbsp peanut butter
Water as needed if too thick.

This is for lifters but you can do it as a meal replacement too.

I don't really like cooked food in the morning and also don't care for cereal. Been drinking smoothies for years as breakfast.

In Korea I make it like this:

plain Denmark yogurt
lowfat milk
banana (or any other fruit that happens to be in the house)
protein powder

If I feel like it I sometimes add cinnamon, vanilla or oats to the mix. In days of yore I'd add ice or use frozen fruit but not anymore.

Oh, and drink it right from the blender container. No need for extra dishes to wash.

Thanks, you guys. I like your ideas - though I am no lifter and I only want a smoothie in the morning for breakfast (and for my daughter, too), so I will incorporate some of the stuff you mentioned, but sans coffee or oats - I only have quaker's instant oats, anyhow. ^^

Wow-10 minutes to load WTF Dave?

I only perservered because tzechuk is one of the nicer posters here.

So,

get some bananas, peel them and freeze them. I also buy frozen bags of fruit from Costco. During the summer smoothies are my dinner.

One of my favorites (have to love peanut butter though):

milk
peanut butter-1 or 2 tablespoons
2 frozen bananas-chopped
honey
raisins-4-5


another favorite:

Orange juice and icecream (vanilla)
small piece of lime
Normally the juice will curdle, but being frozen gives you something special.

Orange juice
frozen mango
frozen strawberries
lime rind (just a little)

Really though, any juice you like with any fruit. I buy 8-10 limes for the summer and slice and freeze them. Use them in smoothies for a touch of bitterness (and G&T's). Also freeze kiwis and make some nice smoothies with those (need to peel them first).

It's what you like really

[Ilsanman]

I use a good handful of frozen strawberries.

I put in one yogurt, or about 1/2 cup of milk. I add a peach, 1 plum, and some grape juice. It's pretty good. Instead of grape juice, you can use cranberry.

[tzechuk]

Awww. thanks, old fat expat.. what you've posted look pretty dellish. I will definitely try them out.

Thanks, Ilsanman - peaches and plums are on their way, so I will definitely try it!

[Ilsanman]

Cherries work well too. But they're hella expensive.

The plum's skin gives it that sour backtaste. It rocks.

My best friend had just posted this on facebook. I had it at her house last summer when I visited, and it's delicious!
