I got a smoothie maker in the mail from my grandmother last week as a late Christmas present.

Where has this thing been all my life? I have Jamba Juice in my kitchen now!

So far I've made a chocolate banana smoothie and a banana-berry yogurt smoothie...this stuff is just as good as what I've had at smoothie bars, and it's sooooo cheap and I can make tons of it. Wowee Zowee!

So...who's got the killer smoothie recipe?

I had a "Kiwi Quencher" smoothie at a health food place yesterday..it was surprisingly good. I tasted kiwi and a lot of strawberry. You could probably make that easily enough.
Try adding some soft tofu...it has no effect on the flavor but it makes a smoothie smoother and creamier and adds more nutritional value.
I always do some banana, some milk, some soft tofu, some strawberry banana yogurt.
For smoothies that have fruit in them...you might want to make sure to let the fruits ripen a bit, because that's when the sugars have broken down and made the fruit most tasty.

Take:

1 Coke
1 tray of ice cubes
1 Glass

Empty three or four ice cubes into glass...pour Coke over ice. Serve cold.

Fuck smoothies.

Oh yeah....if you can stand to wait, smoothies tend to be better cold, so pop it into the freezer for a few minutes before drinking.
