Have just introduced Ella to smoothies and she LOVES them- great for when she is being a bit fussy about eating and it is the one thing that she will sit absolutely still and drink. At the moment I have just been chucking in some plain and strawberry yoghurt with some orange juice and adding strawberries and bananas......but am looking for some more suggestions.
So....what is your favourite smoothie and milkshake recipe?
TIA ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

1 banana
2 kiwifruit handful of frozen mixed berries 1 pottle fruit yoghurt crushed or fresh pineapple tinned peaches mango nectar Blend and it's ready! We chuck in any fruit we have lying around including tinned mango, fruit salad, lychee etc, it doesn't really matter, every smoothie tastes slightly different but all are yummy (this is the only way I can get DH to eat any fruit!) -------------

At the moment I have one every morning with trim milk, berry yoghurt and a banana. A favourite in our house is OJ, banana, kiwifruit & frozen tropical fruits (with or without a bit of yoghurt too). When I was at school I worked at an icecream store and we used to do a drink called a 'fruit whip' which was freshly squeezed fruit juice and frozen yoghurt blended together - so yummy! -------------

You can use coconut cream and icecream instead of yoghurt - yummy! If you find the coconut cream taste too strong, add a drop of vanilla essence. -------------  |

I freeze natural yoghurt pots and use them in smoothies...Yum!
Also, I put some wheatgerm in with it all. Im not sure why...I watched mum do it with her smoothies and she said it was good for you...so I put it in mine  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

we have started doing these for the girls too.
Ayja likes this one: 1 scoop choc ice-cream, small sprinkle of choc chips, as much milk as you want banana yogurt 1 - 2 bananas she loves her choco-nana shakes Paris likes them a bit different, she likes strawberry and peaches 1 cup milk, 1 fruit-cup of peaches, 1 scoop strawberry ice-cream 1 pottle of strawberry fruit yogurt/1 strawberry frozen yogurt stick those are pretty fail-safe, basic ones that the girls tend to like. a good way of sneaking lots of fruit into them too. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

This is a great thread...I made DH a smoothie for breakfast this morning (he's always in a rush, so I thought this was the way for him to get a healthy start) and was looking for some ideas!  ------------- Mum to Hayley **30.6.08
