I use spinach,carrots, bananas, berries (all kinds), flax seeds, rolled oats (even sometimes plain cheerios if I'm out of oats at the moment) natural peanut butter, and either non-fat milk or soy milk. The most important part for me though is that all the veggies and berries are frozen which makes a super thick and frosty cold confection (think Milkshake!). The family loves them and hey what they don't know won't hurt them ha ha

I neve use ice in my smoothies and yet, ther're still so thick I sometimes need a spoon to eat it with. I buy bananas that are reduced in price because they may be starting to turn a little brown. It does'nt matter. Put 1 banana in each of the necessary plastic sandwich bag. Pat down till about half the thickness, then put all in freezer, along with your choice of other fruits. I keep bananas, strawberries, peaches and pineapple . Just bits and pieces left. Save whatever else you have on hand and toss in when you need a little more fruit. I put my fruit in my smoothie maker or blender, then add wheat germ or what ever you choose. I usually add milk but juice or low fat yogurt will work fine. No ice cubes needed.

How do you put green tea in a smoothie? do you first brew it and then add it?

This is my mid-morning smoothie. Greek yogurt, fresh or frozen raspberries, mango, cranberries, blueberries, kale, ginger, dates, and avocado. For extra protein I add a tbsp of hemp seed & ground flax or chia, and a bit of flax or unsweetened soy milk to smooth it out. ~ Yvonne

When I lived in Quito, Ecuador for a summer my host mother made me warm smoothies with exotic tropical fruits and Oats. They were deliscious. These days I add a handfull of oats to my smoothies every now and again, I also like chia seeds. I'm not a fan of soy products or dairy so I use hazelnut milk instead.
