So, fruit is in season and so inexpensive right now. I bought a blender and am ready to make some smoothies. Let's hear your favorite smoothie flavors and recipes. My favorite from last week was a banana -blueberry smoothie:

1 cup Fat-Free Yogurt 1 cup silk, soy milk, plain, light 1 cup ice 2 tbsp lemon juice 12 ounces blueberries 250 grams banana 1 tsp almond extract 1 pinch nutmeg

My favorite is really simple:

Frozen Strawberries and sugar (adjusted to taste)

My first recipe is similar to yours - never tried the almond extract - but it sounds good! You can also add 1 Tbsp of wheat germ to any smoothie for added fiber, but the consistency is an aquired taste.

#1) Strawberry-Banana Smoothie

1 medium banana, 4-5 large strawberries, 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (or any other flavor), 1/4 cup milk, 8 ice cubes. You can also add 1 tsp of honey, but I leave it out to save on calories.

#2) Banana-Mango Smoothie

1/2 medium banana, 1/2 - 1 mango cubed, 1/2 cup pineapple juice (or orange juice), 1 tsp lime juice, 8 ice cubes.

#3) Raspberry Lemonade Smoothie

1/2 cup lemonade, 1/2 cup lemon yogurt, 3/4 cup raspberries, 8 ice cubes

#4) Chocolate-Mocha Banana smoothie

1 medium banana, 1/2 cup coffee yogurt (or vanilla or chocolate mousse yogurt), 1/4 cup milk, 2 tbsp Ovaltine (or other choclate powder mix), 8 ice cubes.

Enjoy!
