How do I make a smoothie with these ingredients?
Category: Smoothie Articles
Ok, so I’m really in the mood for a smoothie for breakfast. I have bananas, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, oranges, ice cream (if it matters!), milk, orange juice, sugar, and some ice. What kind of smoothie can I make? And how?

I love smoothies, because you can make them with anything you like. Here’s a basic smoothie recipe which you can flavor with 2 to 3 handfuls of any chosen fruit. Or flavor it using 1 of the 3 fantastic combinations given below.
1 banana
2 to 3 large handfuls of chosen fruit
Approximately 1 pint glass ice
1/2 pint heavy cream
Place the banana and your chosen fruit into a blender and whiz for 30 seconds. Add the ice cream. Place the lid back on tightly and pulse the blender a couple of times on and off to break up the larger pieces of ice, before whizzing up to a semi-slushy milkshake consistency.
If you haven’t got a blender, you can do as I have been known to do — place the ice into a clean tea towel and bash the hell out of it with a rolling pin before stirring in the mashed fruit and the cream. It’s good, but not quite as good. The 3 smoothies below can be made by following this basic recipe, using the listed ingredients as your chosen fruit.
Blackberry and Pineapple Smoothie:
2 handfuls blackberries
1 handful peeled and chopped fresh pineapple
Banana and Honey Smoothie:
1 banana
2 tablespoons honey
2 heaping tablespoons peanut butter
Raspberry and Strawberry Smoothie:
1 handful raspberries
2 handfuls strawberries
Banana-Orange-Strawberry Fruit Shake
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 banana, frozen
6 strawberries, frozen
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp. skim milk powder
1 heaping tbsp. high- quality protein powder (optional)
1 tsp. flax oil (optional)
——————————–
In a blender, process all the ingredients until thoroughly mixed and serve.
** The strawberries and bananas would taste fine even if they’re not frozen… Just use the milk you have in place of the skim milk powder, too. ** Hope this helps!
pour a little milk. then really try to smush the strawberries no Orange juice maybe a little sugar no ice put bananas and mix it good no grapes and mix the blueberries. then mix it in the blinder. walla

You can pretty much make any kind of smoothie but my favorite is the classic strawberry banana. When I was on a cruise ship, I took a smoothie tasting and making class and it’s simple. What you should use is use a blender and toss in some strawberries and a banana, then add just a spoonful of vanilla ice cream and milk and some yogurt.
