Smoothie recipes?
I bought a blender yesterday - want to start making smoothies but not sure exactly what to put into them. Any recommendations?
Answers:
I use canned fruit, yogurt and juice - yummy

whack a load of yoghurt and fruit into them and you cant go wrong.
personally i like anything with banana or pear in it
grapes, strawberries, mangos & bananas

Banana, natural yoghurt and strawberries. Simple but scrumptious!
Here are some
Ridgerunner's Blended Spinach Salad
1 cup pineapple
1 orange
1 pear
1 apple (or a couple carrots)
1/8 slice lemon with peel
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 large handful raw spinach (about 8 oz - yes, 1/2 lb!)
First blend the pineapple, orange, pear, apple, lemon and flaxseed to a nice fluid. Add the frozen blueberries and blend them in. Last, add the spinach and blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth.
It looks horrible (purplish brown) but tastes delicious! (and you will be surprized how much it "compresses down" with blending - 1/2 lb compresses down to about 1 cup fluid).
The secret is to have lots of sweet and fluidy fruits to overwhelm the subtle flavor of spinach. You CANNOT taste the spinach - I guarantee it!
