Smoothie Recipes

Smoothies are delicious. There are so many ways to make a smoothie and the perfect smoothie is just a matter of personal taste. This lens pays tribute to the smoothie, and includes fruit, vegetable, and alcoholic smoothie recipes (that last one is not for the kiddies, lol).

What Is A Smoothie


What is a smoothie? Smoothies are really a personal experience. For you, a smoothie is what you make it. Be creative. Use fresh ingredients and go with your own taste. The possibilities are limitless. Use the recipes below as a guide, and you're off and blending!

Smoothies Make A Refreshing Summer-time Drink 

Smoothie Tips



1. Add liquids first.

2. Add fruits and soft foods after liquids.

3. If adding ice or frozen fruit, add last (and if it's ice only, add sparingly).

4. Start blending on a LOW setting for about 30 seconds and then move to a HIGH setting until smooth.

    Banana and strawberries smoothies are my favorite. Nothing like an ice cold smoothie on a hot summer day or one filled with protein right before hitting the gym.

    Thanks for these recipes and tips - I like smoothies and generally have them as part of my protein shakes. It's a great way to get the fruits, vegetables and extra healthy protein that I need to maintain my weight.
