    What are your favourites? Do you make any real healthy ones.
    My current fave involves a can of spinach, milk and a bit of protein powder.

    Banana, blueberries, strawberries, sometimes some mango, semi-skimmed milk and a dollop (well a couple of large dollops) of vanilla ice cream.

    Yes, only in summer when there's loads of lovely English fruit about. Strawberries are good, whatever fruit juice I fancy, and always vodka too.

    Every morning! Whatever softish fruit looks good in the supermarket. A couple of yoghurts and a bit of OJ. Blend, drink. If I've had a hard day on the bike then I pop some protien powder in too.

    This morning it was strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, banana, OJ, 2 natural yog's.

    Yup like others, for me it tends to be whatever fruit is turning! I have a habit of buying lots of fruit which doesn't keep as long in the summer.
    So the other day raspberries, strawberries, grapes, soem orange juice and a small vanilla youghurt! LUURVVELLY
    Summer fruits are the way forward for smoothies though IMO.

    Same as others, any fruit but mainly strawberies banana pineapple mango, natural yoghurt, but I also add a coconut or blueberry actimel and use alpro vanilla soya milk (this seems to thicken it up) some runny honey, and some mint can add a nice touch, protein powder if I have one for breakfast and a bit of ice when the weathers hot … yummy!

    Used to, but why make your own when Innocent smoothies are so good!?

    Because you control whats going in them, rather than the s**t that some of them have

    Thats why is stated Innocent rather than anything else. 🙄

    I like mixing fruit with yoghurt. My favourite combinations are strawberry & banana, and raspberry & blueberry.

    Yes, makes a really good recovery drink.
    1/3rd honeydew melon, 1/2 a Galia one, a couple of apples, half a tub of plain yoghurt (that Yeo valley stuff), red grape juice, a little bit of root ginger, a teaspoon of runny honey and a sprinkling of vanilla ReGo. Makes about 3 pints of lovely pink-ish recovery drink. 🙂

    I'm tempted to start doing this, but I was wondering what sort of yoghurt you use, I'm guessing nice a normal muller corner!

    apple juice + ice cubes as a base then just add fruit as you can get it. I picked up a big bag of overripe bananas last week for next to nowt. Added a few bananas to said base and one cheap and lovely smoothie. Have used strawberries/mango/pineapple/apples/raspberries before. Just make it up.

    Had one of the best smoothies ever today. Cherries, strawberries, a banana and a squeezed lemon (from the garden :-)) with a bit of OJ. The cherries are a PITA to do but it was so worth it. My GF tasted it and instantly forgave me for going biking until 11pm last night leaving her locked out of the house for 3 hrs. It was that good!
