Smoothie Recipes

mellohallo

Does anyone have any smoothie recipes? or any links to good sites.
I've started making them and they end up a bit thick I find.

Any advice appreciated oh wise ones!!:D

Well, I never had a recipe, but here's the general ingredients that I use:
(Makes enough for two or three people):

• 2 x Apples, peeled and cored
• 1 x pear - peeled and cored
• Handful of grapes
• 1 x Banana (this will thicken, and smoothen the mixture, so add more if needed).
• A couple of tablespoons of frozen berries - dead handy - will chill the smoothy, give it a lovely color, and taste great.
• Then I try to pick some other fruit based on what I have, like a mango, or some pineapple (tinned is fine).
• Finally, I half-fill the jug with apple juice and whizz (er, I mean whirr).
• When it's reached a suitable consistency, I add ice, and re-whirr..

Eat/drink it pretty quickly, they don't generally keep for too long..

Here's some recipes, that I have never actually referred to, but you might be more adventurous:

Schlemm

I just bung in whatever fruit we have in the house and thin it out with some pineapple juice. Kiwis are good for not making it go too thick.

Mango & Passionfruit:

About 150 mls REAL apple juice (don't use concentrate, it tastes like crap. If you don't have a juicer, the next best thing is Copella apple juice)
About 25mls REAL orange juice (as above, I use Tropicana for this)
Half a banana
A mango, peeled and sliced.
The pulp of a passionfruit (strain it over the blender with a sieve, it's the easiest way).

Put all in blender, whizz around for a bit, drink.

The apple juice, orange juice and banana parts are a staple for all smoothies really.

Alternatively, get summer fruits or something, throw a handful or two into the blender, tip in some yoghurt (natural or whatever you like), a bit of milk to thin it out, and some honey to sweeten. Blend, drink.

Banana, frozen berries, dash of OJ. Nothing else, it's easy peasy!

I tried this recipe the other day, strictly not a smoothie, but was yum:
200ml milk
handful raspberries or strawberries or frozen fruit
tablespoon yoghurt
banana
tablespoon honey
couple of ice cubes (if you want an extra chill)

Just bung everyting in the blender and give it a whizz. Was really filling and made a great breakfast:p

On a related note. I want to try and make my own smoothies.
There's one I really like in a juice bar that I go to.
The one thing i'm not sure about is the yoghurt! It appears to be frozen which would explain why its cold. What type of yoghurt should i be looking for?
The other ingrediants are Strawberries, Banana and honey I think.

Cheers

I make my smoothies with Danone cereal yoghurt. i use the Vanilla flavour and the cereal parts add a nice bit of fibre to the smoothie. You could also add your own muesli to make a breakfast smoothie.

Just got a blender at the weekend and been experimenting. Its the best way, although I admit its tricky getting constituency right. One concoction I found to be quite good was

banana
mango
spoon of honey
milk

Going to try adding some vanilla essence (or perhaps a pod if I'm feeling flush) next.

Yoghurt, delicious.....

My mate works for a frozen food company so I get about 8 2.5kg bags of fruit for 25euro, he had no yoghurt this months as I normally get a 5 litre tub from him.
Does anybody know where you can buy frozen yoghurt in a big tub.
Cheers.
