My Smoothie Recipe

We drink a lot of smoothies in our house. I usually just throw them together with whatever I have on hand. I never use sugar in my smoothies. Instead, I always use a banana. This sweetens it up nicely without adding sugar. Sometimes I'll use honey if I'm out of bananas. I also never add ice to smoothies. Instead, I make sure my fruit is frozen before hand. Bananas are easy to freeze, simply peel them before you freeze them. I've use all sorts of berries, kiwi, cantaloupe, mangos, pineapple, grapes, watermelon, pears, plums etc. I've even tried carrots and spinach in them with no complaints! I also like to use rice milk since I can't have cows milk. While I never actually measure, here is my general smoothie recipe:

Fruit Smoothies
1 frozen banana
about 2 cups of your choice of frozen fruit.
1/2-1 cup plain yogurt
1/2-1 cup milk or unsweetened fruit juice

If it's too liquidy for your liking, add more frozen fruit. If it's too think, add more milk or juice. It's not an exact science. I don't think I've ever made the same one twice! Enjoy!
