What are some good recipes for healthy smoothies?

i really like smoothies but i am tired of the one i have (strawberrys with yogurt)do you have any good suggestionsWhat are some good recipes for healthy smoothies?
Freeze the strawberries and add some ice cubes! You will have a slushie/smoothie combo that is delicious and refreshing!





Frozen Soda Smoothie


1 cup sierra mist diet soda


1 cup frozen fruit (smoothie blend with pineapple, mango and strawberries)


Place soda and fruit into a blender and blend together until smooth. Drink and enjoy immediately!





Banana Berry Smoothie


1 large frozen banana


1 cup frozen strawberries


1/2 cup yogurt


3 tablespoons honey


1 cup orange juice


--Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.





Chocolate Smoothie


1/2 cup ice


1/2 cup yogurt


1/2 cup chocolate syrup


--Put all the ingredients into blender and liquify. When it looks ready, pour and serve.





Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie


1/2 banana (frozen)


1 cup low-fat milk


3 frozen strawberries (more if desired)


2-3 ice cubes (optional)


2 teaspoons peanut butter


--Pour all ingredients into a blender, and mix on high until smooth. Add milk or more strawberries and ice until you reach your desired consistency. Serve ice cold in a tall glass, or what I sometimes do is put it into a container and place it in the freezer for another 10-15 minutes, which makes it even colder.





*Strawberry smoothies are so easy to jazz up. Add a tablespoon of lemonade mix (country time!), a banana, a whole orange, orange juice, pineapple, or pineapple juice.





Enjoy!What are some good recipes for healthy smoothies?
Go to food network .com they have some great smoothie recipes
just put in fruit ice and juices and expirement a little
basically any fruit, ice, and milk...
You don't need a recipe, just some frozen fruit, crushed ice, and juice.
banana smooooothie!! :D
Any frozen or fresh fruit is good. I made one after I had a slushie-smoothie type drink from Star Bucks. It was green tea, peach, and pomegranite juice. Very good. Use fresh or frozen peaches.





Or freeze some seedless red grapes.


When they are frozen add them to the blender with a peeled red apple, and orange juice. I also add a little bannana. I like adding bannana to my smoothies cuz it add a creamy-ness to the smoothie with out milk or what ever that also add calories. You just have to be careful not to add to much bannana or it will overcome the flavor of the whole drink.





How about Vanilla, yogurt, (or ice cream for a treat), peanut butter and bannana. My dad used to make this with the ice cream for use when we were little.





Slice some bannanas and then freeze them on a cookie sheet, When they are frozen put them in a fezzer bag. Same goes for any other fruit. It cools your smoothies with out having to add ice.
