We have been using our Blentec blender to make all sorts of smoothies and frozen drinks. My husband's favorite is the Pina Colada. Of course it's wonderful it's full of sugar and fat.
The kids love the fruit smoothies. I use several different fruits, frozen and fresh, one cup of milk, ice, water and spinach (shhh they have no idea). I always use some sort of colored berry to cover up the green color of the spinach.
For myself... I will only tell you if you promise to come back to my site even if you think it sounds scary. I do fruit and veggie smoothies. I use one or two pieces of fruit, fresh or frozen, half of a banana, a ton of spinach, a little protein powder (usually vanilla from whole foods) and maybe a carrot or celery. Today we had Saladmaster coleslaw left over from last nights dinner. It was made simply of cabbage, apples and pineapple. Sounds delicious for a smoothie right? I used one peach, 1/2 banana, 1/2 apple, one carrot, 1/2 cup coleslaw, 1/2 scoop chocolate protein, one cup of my homemade almond milk, ice and lots of water. And no it didn't really look like mud, well a little bit. It really was good. It made way too much though. I had some in the morning and some in the afternoon and still dumped a 30oz cup out at the end of the day. It was so filling. How could it not be???
