Best smoothie recipe?

Question

I was just hoping I could get everyone's opinions on the best ingredients to use to make a smoothie! I like mine somewhat thick and not too icy. I DON'T like adding juice or peanut butter to smoothies and prefer milk/yogurt/etc combos. I especially like bananas and am not so fond of strawberries. Please post your favorite recipes and how much of each ingredient to use to yield about 2 cups or so.

Answer 1

I don't think smoothies should have ice cream or frozen yogurt in them.  They are no longer smoothies then, they are shakes.  

Answer 2

I don't really measure everything and I just throw it in the blender until it looks right.

1 banana

1 small container berry or other flavored yogurt

A few handfuls of blueberries (or frozen berries if I have those on hand)

2 tablespoons honey

Splash of milk

Another one I make is with peaches and blueberries and when peaches are in season it is the most wonderful smoothie ever!

1 small container peach flavored yogurt

1 ripe peach, peeled and cubed

1-2 handfuls blueberries

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Splash of milk

Answer 3

Answer 4

I've tried almost all of these with my Girl Scout troop and my daughters' friends.  The fruit is frozen, which gives the smoothies a really good texture.  Pina Colada is my favorite.
