Any smoothie recipes?????????

[Nemo1977]

Dh has come home with a fab smoothies maker from work from display for a grand total of £3...so what can i make with it as have never done a smoothie before.

Have a smoothie maker. TBH it is a better idea to look at what you have in way of fruit then decide what you are going to make!

You can put in yoghurt, fruit juice, ice, tinned fruit, fresh fruit, alcohol, icecream, frozen fruit. Just decide if the flavours will go together.

I have a smoothie maker that came with a recipe book. I can't check it now but will dig it out tomorrow and list some here.

I usually just use banana's, milk, ice cream and ice. My kids love it. If you have a tap on your one, make sure it is closed before you put any liquid in it, I learned the messy way!

I have a load of fruit in
bananas
apples
oranges
grapes
plums
strawberries
frozen mixed fruits that has pineapple mango etc in....

just need to know what to do..lol Do I put yoghurt in all the time? Or just fruit with milk?

thanks kid about the tap bit there is one and i wouldnt have thought about that..lol

Ohhhh well I never put anything else other than fruit in, well sometimes milk but..

just go mad, experimaent.

From what you have there I'd do:

Banan and stawberry with plums and a few grapes

Then I'[d do apple, orange and grapes.

Shall I go through my smoothie receipe book for you?

When we first used our one, we put in lots of fruit and ice. It tasted quite horrible as it was very lumpy!
I haven't used yogurt in my one yet as I don't really like it, I usually add milk but it just depends on what flavour you like.

ooo TC if you would..obviously cos this one is off display got no instructions etc..
