Question about Smoothies?

Question

My aunt is getting our new blender out and going to open it this weekend. Becaus i will be getting braces in a week and a half and she thought this would be a good idea. The blender is not made to crush ice. So how would i make a smoothie? And what are some good smoothies? Can you tell me what ingredients i need? I will be going to pick some things up at the store this weekend and will get it then. Thank you :)

Answer 1

put the ice in a plastic ziploc bag and crush it with a hammer first and then add it to the mix. It will be easier on the blender that way.

here is a link to some recipes:

Answer 2

just to tell you most smoothies taste like c**p until you add sugar which may not be good for your braces at least thats my expierience with smoothies and braces i never made a good smootie without alot of sugar in it

Answer 3

use honey instead of sugar

Answer 4

Banana, mango, fat free yogurt, skim milk and protein powder

Chocolate protein powder with a banana, yogurt and milk

If you use yogurt with fruit and milk you will have a nice smoothie.  

Answer 5

I make pina colada smoothies with crushed pinapple, Dannon Fusion pineapple yogurt, and V8 Pina Colada juice.  The berry smoothie is a handful of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, Dannon Berry yogurt, and V8 Acai berry juice. The berry smoothie is packed with antioxidants!  Both are delicious.
