[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of the recipes would depend on the blender you have. We just bought a Vitamix specifically for everyday smoothies as our old blender just couldn't handle things like spinach and kale (it still came out pretty chunky). My go-to recipe, so far, is 1 frozen banana, 1 cup frozen mango, 1 cup frozen spinach, 1 cup carrots, 1 cup pomegranate or sometimes coconut juice. We don't find that we need to add any yogurt or milk, though we did try in our more experimental stages. Apple juice is also a pretty easy filler if you need more liquid. Frozen fruit will require more juice than fresh fruit. Cucumber is also an easy way to liquify the smoothie more. And then it's easy to toss in other berries as wanted. But you should really experiment to see what suits your tastes - it's actually a lot of fun. DH likes smoothies that are more tart while I like them sweeter. And we've found that mango will make just about anything sweet - it kind of overpowers other flavors a bit. [/quote]
