Do you like to make smoothies? If so, what do you put in them. If you like smoothies but you buy them instead of making them, what flavor(s) do you usually get?
I love making smoothies. I usually use whatever fruit is lying around the house and is about to go bad. Sometimes I add ice cream or yogurt if I have it. I add ice if I don't use ice cream or yogurt to make it cold. I will also add fruit juice if I feel like it is too thick. If the fruit I'm using has a tart taste (like strawberries or orange) I add a little sugar.
My favorite recipes that I came up with:
Summer Berry Smoothie: Raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries, berry flavored yogurt or sorbet, summer berry juice, a little sugar (if desired). Put through a strainer before drinking to get rid of strawberry and raspberry seeds.
Peach Mango Smoothie: Ripe peaches (with skin), ripe mangoes (without skin), ice. Add sugar if the fruit isn't ripe.
Tropical Smoothie: Banana (optional), Mango, Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned), Coconut flavoring, vanilla ice cream, sugar (if desired)
