Is it possible to make a smoothie without using the actual fruits?
I know this sounds really stupid, but I want to make a smoothie and the only fruits I have are apples and oranges, and I don’t think they’re smoothieish fruits. Is it possible to make one using juices, yoghurts, milk, etc. or would that just be really weird? If it is possible, what should I use and how?

Tutorial Diary:: Green Smoothie
All my art supplies are packed! D:
Well, I didn’t think I’d make another video until I was all moved and settled, but recently, hubby and I started making these smoothies and I thought I would share!
Since it’s common knowledge that cooking can break down and/or destroy a great deal of vital nutrients and enzymes in food, even if you -are- eating a variety of fruits and veggies every day, you can still be coming up short for what your body craves to be energetic and healthy. Nutrition is supah important because poor nutrition is a leading factor in many serious illnesses! Seriously, look that lil’ factoid up, if you like. So! Stay healthy so you don’t die and not get a chance to do art anymore! D: Drink your green smoothies!
Blending down the super healthy, dark leafy greens, makes them easy to digest and adding the fruit cuts the grass-like taste you’d expect or may be familiar with from something like wheat grass shots. If you mix up this little green smoothie, you can get an entire day’s daily recommended intake (or more) of fresh, raw, whole fruits, greens and veggies in a lightly sweet smoothie… And seriously, what a relief, cause could you imagine chewing through handfuls of raw spinach and kale? I used to, and it sucked. ;…; Now I do this. n…n And it doesn’t.
You can make about any mix you want- there’s some great recipes online and if this has piqued your interest, do check out the following video by the lady who first whipped this smoothie up (From SuthenBoy)::
This is a nice, simple video (From GreenSmoothieGirl)::
And this shows a much more ingredient packed version than I’ve shown or the GreenSmoothieGirl shows. n…n (From The Daily English Show) ::

Yummy Coconut Milk Smoothie
You will love this quick, delicious and most of all healthy smoothie! Nina shows you how easy and fun this can be!
Other fruits may be substituted and ice can be used in place of yogurt if you have a lactose issue…or, you can use a soy product in place of the dairy yogurt. :)
You will need:
1 cup coconut milk
1 cut plain low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
10 ounces frozen fruit (berries were my choice)
3 medium ripened bananas
blender…
That is all you will need!
If you have any questions or friendly suggestions, please contact me!
Thanks!

What are the best fruit combinations to put in smoothies?
I love to make smoothies all the time because they’re easy to create, they taste great and are healthy. But I’m getting sick of the same old fruits and ingredients. Anyone got any ideas on some good fruits etc. to put in my next one?
Sorry, I did forget to actually say the fruits I have being using. The fruits I usually use are banana and blueberry/strawberry, or each of them on their own.

Healthy Smoothie Recipes
Healthy Smoothie Recipes are great for a ‘pick me up’ after a run or a jog. But, it is most important you know what you are drinking in that smoothie. A lot of smoothies you buy are loaded with sugar which isn’t going to your best choice. Natural sugar is going to be your best choice so be sure to ask your vendor what they are putting into your smoothie and try to stay away from artificial ingredients. Caffiene loaded coffee smoothies are very popular but again, that isn’t going to be your best choice after a workout. It might taste good but it won’t replenish your body after a good run.
To create healthy smoothie recipes, it is best you make your own. It is easy to do – you need a good protein, whey, or soy and tofu, which automatically takes on the taste of whatever it is combined with. Next, fruit and berries – the darkest ones are the healthiest ones….is the word around town. And the fresher they are, the tastier they are.
The next item on the list for a healthy smoothie recipe, is a choice blender – there again, there are so many on the market. I always check out Consumer Lists to choose, but any good blender will run around $30 to $50. You will want one that has a setting for ice chopping. And the one that says it will make smoothies. Cutting ice is hard on the machine so you may have to pay more than planned to get a good one that will stand up to the abuse.
The next item on the list for a healthy smoothie recipe is to make your choice about what fruits and berries you want in your smoothie. Let us say blackberries, blueberries and raspberries and a banana. So, the ice is chopped, add freshly washed healthy berries, and a peeled banana. Also, add your whey which should contain a high amount of protein, then your tofu, soy, or milk. You may add flax seed oil or other oils if you wish. Now blend on high until completely smooth. This is a perfect healthy smoothie recipe, and it is home made – the best kind!
