smoothie recipes.. good deal!

[stryke99]

Note: Keep in mind that these ingredients are suggestions so feel free to add your
own creative twists to them. Here are some things that I do:
I always use nonfat milk.
• Adding ground flaxseed and/or wheat germ is always a good idea.
• I like to use frozen fruit (keeps longer and keeps the smoothies thick). For
bananas, peel them in advance before putting them in the freezer.
• A touch of cocoa powder is a nice way to tweak a smoothie for a chocolate
taste. Almond extract also adds nice flavor. Other popular spices include
cinnamon and nutmeg.

I bought a smoothie blender a few weeks ago and my kids are going crazy making smoothies. I can't keep up with all the fruit they are using. I will have to see if they would like to try any of these. Thanks

It's been getting warmer so we've been making smoothies. We use different ingredients though:

Fresh Strawberries (It's in season now)
Sherbet Ice Cream (we used Orange or Lime)
Ice
Apple Juice

It's so yummy and perfect for the hot weather.
