Fruit smoothie recipes

simu

Anybody got any *practical* recipes for making smoothies with fruit in a blender?

By practical, I mean using commonly found, cheap ingredients. Strawberries and so on are just too expensive at this time of year!

pine apple and bannana and some ice cubes is always great.

ive tried some variations, such as including tinned peaches, apples, apple juice and also chocolate ice-cream from lidl.

best one I've managed (did you get a smoothie maker too then ) is (assuming you have the kenwood smoothie maker which makes about 2 litres):

2x bananas
1x tin pineapple chunks
1x small tin coconut cream (amoy or similar, with the chinese stuff in the supermarket)
vanilla ice cream
milk
ice cubes (again assuming you have the smoothie maker, some blenders don't like ice).

throw it all in and blend until smooth.

Ideally if you have friends round, you should add some bacardi and or malibu to the mix (not too much or it will ruin it).

I've also made good smoothies with any (and or all) of the following.

melon - honeydew or galia.
kiwi - skinned
orange - peeled
peach/nectarines - skin on or off (assuming smoothie maker is up to the job)
strawbs
rasberries
grapes
apples
mango
anything else i can get my hands on.

just lob it into the blender and throw in some milk and ice and you're done.

most stuff will keep for a day or two (and some is better on the second day anyway) so I keep a handy sport pack ballygowan bottle (the one jonah lomu advertises) ad use the handy spout on the smoothie maker to fill the bottle and leave it in the fridge.

Well i guess my fav is just the strawberry smoothie. expensive to get the strawberries buts its well nice. I also just do what Vibe666 does, just lob everything in there and see how it goes!! Once place that make really good smoothies is Jamba Juice. They're just in america but they r sooo good. U can get the big 32oz cup of it for like $4. they were just the best ever and were what got me into smoothies!! I sooo wish they were over here!

Hey guys, just wondering has anyone managed to come up with a recipe that tastes the same or similar to the Strawberry Sunrise Smoothy sold by popular juice bars? Any suggestions are appreciated

One thread is enough on this, and it is frowned upon to bump threads that are more than 6-12 months old generally.
