I just took soy milk, plain yougurt, a banana, fresh strawberries and some honey ( all organic ) and blended um up

how do you make your smoothies ?

FINE

I often make smoothies because they are so quick to prepare and so nutritious. Mostly I use various combinations of fresh fruits (usually peach, blueberries, strawberries, banana, melon or cherries) with whatever fruit juice might go well (pineapple, OJ, grape, apple, etc), and then either a sorbet, yogurt or Kefir. Sometimes with ice cubes or, depending on what is in a particular smoothie, some vanilla extract or other appropriate flavouring.

Occasionally I will include a leaf of kale or some raw spinach for a bit of greens.

Recently I tasted a peanut-butter & banana smoothie which was quite good.

yours all sound good

do you ever use like powdered seaweed in any of them ?

I've not thought to use seaweed powder in a smoothie, but that's a good idea - the added nutrition would be excellent. Does seaweed powder have a strong taste?

sounds pretty much like what i do, only instead of soy milk i'll usually substitute fruit juice (orange or pomegranate, depending on what fruit i'm dumping in). i like my smoothies super duper thick, though, so maybe the soy milk is better for your prefs...

The pumpkin one sounds awesome. I'm gonna make that.


I like smoothies with vanilla soymilk, virtually any fruit, and ice. Maybe a little agave or honey. Simple.
