What is a tasty smoothie recipe?

OK, this sounds odd, but you take strawberries, and sprinkle with sugar, then add a couple of tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and fresh ground black pepper. Delicious.

Pineapple, kiwi, fresh blueberries, strawberries, frozen strawberries, 4 or 5 scoops of strawberry yogurt, and some frozen peach chunks.

Put fresh banana, frozen berries that you like (e.g. strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, acai), some papaya, juice of your choice (orange juice or any tart fruit juice), and yogurt (optional, sometimes I leave it out depending) into blender and give it a whirl until smooth. Add just enough liquid to get a thick consistency. Pour onto a bed of granola and top with fresh sliced berries, granola, bee pollen, and honey. Eat with a spoon.

1 banana
½ cup orange juice
¼ cup yogurt
¼ cup frozen blueberries

Make it once, then adjust amounts up or down to suit your taste.

I throw a banana into the blender, along with whatever selection of frozen fruit suits my fancy. In my freezer is usually some combination of frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, mango, pineapple, and peaches. I usually pick two or three to throw in with the banana.

Add vanilla (or other flavor) yogurt, and orange juice. Blend, and add more juice if it’s too thick.

Experiment. Try whatever fruit (frozen if you want a cold smoothie, or you could add ice) you have in the blender with yogurt, milk, or juice. Make up your own recipe!

The best smoothie I know about is the classic South Asian mango lassi. It’s yogurt, mango, and a little salt. Oh god.

We always just get the best fruit (meaning our favorites), especially fresh in-season but frozen is also good. We then mix them with some juice (usually orange juice). That’s it. I don’t put milk or yogurt. I don’t put ice. They just complicate things. Adding a banana, no matter what the other ingredients usually adds a great flavor as well.

I had a really good one from a smoothie shop. It is basically oranges and ice cream. Yum. I’m sure you could find a recipe for it if you use a search engine.

I don’t really have a recipe, but I usually throw a whole banana in a blender with about 6–8 ice cubes, a tablespoon of sugar, and however much milk I feel like throwing in. A couple strawberries are good, too if they’re in season.

Here’s a healthy milkshake: Blend one frozen banana broken into 1” pieces, one cup milk, one tablespoon chocolate malt powder, ½ teaspoon vanilla.
