All Wrapped up Remembering Dad By: Debbie Lange Quilting, Indiana, USA I made this quilt for my mother with all of my Dad’s silk ties.

Christmas comes to Ohio By: Debbie Grasley, Minnesota, USA Since my mom’s favorite color is red, I thought a Christmas quilt would be the one to make for her.

I don’t make smoothies, per se, but I mix Green Vibrance (dried raw green food powder) with V8 to drink daily. HUGE improvement in my energy levels, and nutrition.
no, i don’t make smoothies, but i’ll be back to see the other’s recipes. i’m older, don’t eat much at a time and would benefit from a healthy ‘snack’ midmorning to boost my energy levels, too.
Not a smoothie maker…unless margarita’s count!
I keep frozen fruit and cut up bananas in my freezer and when I want a smoothie I add juice (depends on the fruit I’m using) and I add either kale or spinach for the nutrients, you can’t taste it but it turns the smoothie green.
I drink smoothies or shakes as I call them with Iso 100 protein powder, fruit (mostly berries) and water. I have added flax, oatmeal and when hubby and I are doing our detox plan I add that powder as well. Sometimes we add veggies but I mostly do frozen berries from Costco. I blend in my bullet.
I don’t make smoothies, but I like them when someone else does. LOL
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hugs
I make smoothies with fruit and freeze them into popsicles for my son!
I have a fruit/vegies smoothie every morning.
I use 1 cup milk, very large handful of spinach & kale, banana, any berries I have on hand, 2 tbs. ground flax seeds, scoop of Emerald Balance greens powder & scoop of unflavored whey protein powder. Blend on high.
That Bake Sale charms would make a great table runner!
Thanks for the chance to win!!
I just bought a Nutribullet and really need recipes!
I have never made a smoothie before and aren’t even sure that I have ever drank one!
I haven’t made smoothies, either. Sorry I can’t help! Mark Lipinski’s Facebook page sometimes has some recipes, though. Good luck in your search.
My daughter usually makes the smoothies with bananas, strawberries, vanilla yogurt, milk and any other fruit we might have and want to try. I like blueberries in mine.
Apple pie smoothie:
1/2 cup apple juice
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup bananas
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 teaspoon agave nectar or honey
2 cups ice
My favorite smoothie is mango with coconut milk topped with chia seeds!!! Super yummy :)
I make what I call milkshakes with 2% milk, ice cubes, banana or other fruit and a little sugar and vanilla flavoring. Blend it up in the blender. If it’s not for the grandsons sometimes I add some yogurt. My grandsons are allergic to so many things. We have to make everything from scratch for them. This one of their treats, but without the vanilla. For a smoothie the milk could be replaced with fruit juice. Frozen fruit works well in place of the ice cubes.
Unfortunately I don’t make smoothies, but I like fruit smoothies…Cherry, raspberry and banana :)
I make mango pineapple smoothies. I don’t have a recipe. Just use 2 to 3 mangos, a handful of ice, about a cup of vanilla yogurt, pineapple juice, blend and enjoy. Oh, and a touch of honey!!! Yum yum. Not a healthy low fat one though. LOL
I make fruit smoothies with any kinds of fruit. I do add jicama and carrots if I have any.thanks for the chance
I love fruit smoothies. My favourite ones have strawberries or peaches in them… This is making me thirsty!
I don’t make smoothies myself but I do like drinking them! My sister made a delicious one for me that had green grapes, peaches, and strawberries in it. She added in a bunch of shaved ice so it was cold and like a milkshake (but without the milk). :)
I make a strawberry smoothie. Frozen strawberries, skim milk, and a little Torani Sugar-Free Raspberry Syrup. Sometimes I add my 2 teaspoons of healthy oil; you can’t tell the oil is in there.
I love smoothies, love making banana/strawberry.
I don’t make smoothies but I do make ice cream from frozen bananas! Frozen banana chunks, maple syrup, maple extract and walnuts! or carob! Sometimes I add a little coconut milk. Yummy stuff!
We make them sometimes. I freeze overly ripe bananas when I buy too many. Later blend frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, milk, apple juice and plain yougurt. No added sugar and no ice. Perfect!
I’ve never made smoothies but I like the pineapple/mango one at McDonalds
I love smoothies.. I usually make them with some nutritional powder, fruit, almond milk and spinach, also throw in some low cal activia yogurt sometimes.. they are yummy. Thanks for the chance at winning. :) I voted, too. xo
I’ve only had smoothies from fast food places, but would be nice to try it at home also.
I have never made smoothies so I’m afraid I’m no help for a recipe. Sorry! Have a great weekend and thanks for the chance to win.
Deconstructed smoothies are about as close as I get I guess. I love eating frozen fruit; cherries, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries. Even better than ice-cream.
And, I love greek yogurt topped with marmalade. Whizzed all together would be good, but separate is great too.
This may be hard to believe but I’ve never had a smoothie! Although I do love coffee flavoured milk shakes. Does that count?
I don’t have a hard and fast recipe but love to make juices – some ice, a kiwifruit, some grated root ginger, oranges, pineapple – yummo!!
I love smoothies with fresh blueberries, strawberries and raspberries… Really looking forward to those this summer!!!
I love to make milkshakes in the summer when it is really hot and I don’t feel like cooking a meal.
I really like all the contests you run. Sometimes it is really hard to choose a favorite.
When I taught family and consumer sciences my students enjoyed making orange Julius drinks.
1 cup milk
1 cup water
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
8-10 ice cubes
Puree in blender. It is also very good with a banana added or using grape juice instead of orange or using fresh fruit, especially strawberries.
I don’t make smoothies much but if I do I just throw in a mix of fruit, honey and some grainy brekkie cereal and swoosh it all together. That way I figure I’m at least getting some fibre in there!
Sorry, not a smoothie maker. Love milk shakes, though! :P
I make a lot of smoothies. My favorite is yogurt, strawberries, blueberries and mango. Frozen fruits are fine too.
I loooove Smoothies….but sorry to say….have never made one myself. Must try…will! :)
Bananas, Strawberries, French Vanilla Yogurt, Silken Tofu, ice. adjust ratios until you get the consistency you like. My daughters had them for breakfast often when they were in high school.
I rarely make smoothies but if I do it is bananas, strawberries and yoghurt – yummy! Otherwise I am a coffee drinker!
I like fruit smoothies but don’t have a recipe.
1 banana, a good handful of frozen strawberries, cover all with orange juice and whizz in the blender. Yummy!
Sorry, I don’t make smoothies. No recipes.
I make fruit smoothies for breakfast sometimes. No recipe–just pour some juice (fave is oj), some dollops of plain or vanilla yogurt, banana, and whatever frozen berries I have on hand.
I make smoothies now and then, but I don’t have a special recipe, I just throw in all fruit that has to be used and add a very small piece of ginger and maybe a dash of lemon juice.
Thanks for the chance!
I used to make smoothies but we switched to lemon water with fresh fruit on the side! My whole family found it more refreshing :)
I have a summer CSA (community supported agriculture) subscription and I never know what to do with all the kale and radishes that show up in the box. I found this recipe recently, and plan to try it this summer. I’m not convinced it will be tasty, but it will sure be healthy!

Thanks for assembling another week of beautiful quilts!
Smoothies are delicious! But leave me feeling very unsatisfied, I like chewing…LOL For that high of a calorie count I’d rather have a chocolate banana milk shake!
I don’t make smoothies :(
I make smoothies occasionally but don’t have a recipe. I use whatever fruit and/or juices I have on hand with yogurt and skim milk. Never bananas. Can’t abide those. Thanks for the giveaway!
