I have never made a smoothie but do make milkshakes and malts.
I do make smoothies – fruit. I put a banana, half an apple, and a handful of berries in a blender or Magic Bullet with ice, add about 1/4 cup of raw oatmeal and, if I have it, a handful of flaxseed, cover with orange juice, and blend. If I have fresh fruit, great, but I also put fruit that is getting soft but is not yet bad into the freezer to use for smoothies. If I use frozen fruit, it reduces the amount of ice I use. No real measurements, though – I make my smoothies the way I make my quilts – no patterns.
I have made smoothies, using strawberries, bananana, and juice. But I prefer to buy them then I can get the extra kick added when I need it.
I’ve never made a smoothie. But we do like to make peanut butter milkshakes!
I NEED A GOOD SMOOTHIE RECIPE ALSO, I HAD GASTRIC BYPASS AND CANNOT HAVE RE-FINED SUGAR SO REALLY HAVE TO WATCH WHAT I PUT IN…
sorry I dont’ make smoothies but I’d love to try some. I’ve heard that using agave instead of sugar is good for diabetics . I dont’ understand the whole concept of sugars but I think those that do will be able to explain why :) Thanks for the chance to participate in the judging, I always enjoy this.
Smoothies are tasty. I have made them using strawberries, drained pineapples, low fat yogurt and a bit of low fat sour cream. Yummy!!
For a bit of crunch fold in a teaspoon of chopped walnuts and enjoy!
I have never made a smoothie.
I have always wanted to make a smoothy. Someday I will try
Wow, now that’s a close race for first! Hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day! Thanks for the chance to win that fabulous fabric! I have never made any smoothies….
Thanks for sharing that gorgeous fabric. Never made a smoothie myself.
