Blender ideas for smoothies or shakes?

[Dead]

I have this cool blender but all I ever do is make a smoothie using yogurt, bananas, and milk. Sometimes I throw in some strawberry jam. There must be more to blenders than this! Got any ideas?

[bornentertainer]

Get real strawberries...or other types of fruit.

pineapple smoothies rule

also, try orange juice or mango juice instead of milk + add fresh fruit...peaches are sometimes really good with mango juice.

Sometimes I put a few chunks of concentrated orange juice or orange/pineapple juice, just to kick it up a notch.

I find ice doesn't do any good, it just waters down the whole thing.

I really like Slurpees, I wonder if its possible to make some type of slush thing that's not just watery.

Here's a recipe for a Cherry smoothie....

2 cups frozen sweet or tart cherries

1 ripe banana, peeled

1 cup cherry juice blend, or other juice

4 maraschino cherries, for garnish

Put frozen cherries, banana and cherry juice blend in container of electric blender or food processor. Cover and process until smooth.

Peach and Rum smoothie...

2 cups peeled, pitted and sliced peaches

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon rum

4 ice cubes
(uhm. blend it all.)

Pear-Ginger smoothie ingredients:
1 ripe Anjou or Bartlett pear, peeled, cored and chopped

1/4 cup fresh carrot juice

1/4 cup skim milk

1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger

1/2 cup crushed ice


Banana-Papaya smoothie ingredients:
1 cup 2% milk

1/2 cup sliced peeled banana

1/2 cup chopped seeded and peeled papaya

1 tablespoon honey

Um...some pumpkin pie smoothie:

1 can (15 oz.) LIBBY'S 100% Pure Pumpkin, chilled

1 can (12 fl. oz.) CARNATION Evaporated Milk, or evaporated fat free milk, chilled

1 1/2 cups orange juice

1 small sliced banana

1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

2 dozen ice cubes, optional

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, optional

PLACE pumpkin, evaporated milk, orange juice, banana and sugar in blender; cover. Blend until smooth. Pour over ice. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired. *read: this stuff is heavy.*


um...if you're bored with banana, try adding some spices (ie:cinnamon, cloves, allspice) if you want a different flavor. add some peanut butter and some chocolate. (hot chocolate mix, i guess...unless you know what abuelita chocolate is.) just throw some things in there and get creative with flavors. i'll shut up that's enough out of me.

This one sounds awesome, I love cherries.

my dad hates vegetables, got a terrible diet. so we got a blender last month and he said he would make veg smoothies and that would be his veg intake, so he put green beans, peas, asparagus, brocolli and whatever other green shit he could find, and blended it. et voila, there was slime. he tried a tiny bit and went "FUCK THATS HORRIBLE!!!" and left it there. i smelt it eventually and nearly threw up.

the moral of the story: don't blend green shit.
