Your favourite smoothie?

[B00]

Yesterday I went mad and bought a smoothie maker and fruit and had a smoothie fest all day.

By the evening as well as a severe bloated stomach i'd sampled...

Banana and honey
Strawberry
Rasberry
Combination of all of the above, both with milk and orange juice.

Now my swollen stomach has subsided im about to go shopping for more ingredients to inflict more misery on it.

Any tried and tested recipes?

I'm not too fussed about healthy (though I guess I should be!) I just want deliciousness!

[rowanwitch]

savoury ones are strangely pleasant too

tomato carrot and beetroot with black pepper
or half and half carrot and orange
beetroot and raspberry

or are they too healthy

[B00]

you'd think wouldn't you Pasta? But our very first one was a simple strawberry one, and after tasting, we had to add a bit of sugar, which surprised us.

i can't wrap my head around a savoury one Rowan to be honest. If im going down the mushed vegetable route, i want it warm- aka soup, lol.

[rowanwitch]

I'd certainly recommend orange and carrot add a little mixed spice for a carrot cake flavour

And beetroot and raspberry is such a stunning colour

I was expecting a thread about George Clooney for some reason ...

[B00]

urgh, god no. Brad Pitt mabe, but in all honesty, i'd even shove Bradders aside where my belly and its intake is concerned.

I really like the idea of a savoury smoothie, a bit like V8 juice. But I'd probably want it with a measure of vodka and a dash of Worcester sauce as well.

They seem to do smoothies at the chip shops up your way - sort of green lumpy stuff - possibly guacamole ?

[rowanwitch]

not as bad as the slimy brown ones in Brummie chippies...

[EcclesCake]

Was that Portillo or Mandy, Guac vs Mushy peas?

[sunny-dave]

Rumoured to be Mandy in Hartlepool ... if it's not true it ought to be ... :)

i like blueberries and raspberries wizzed up with ice, fizy water and a squeeze of lime

and watermelon and mint

[B00]

fizzy water! Or lemondade! Why didn't i think of those?

Already had a mars bar banana one, feeling decidedly stuffed now :-(

[friedgreentomato]

lemonade, kiwi and ginger

and you can make some great cocktails in the smoothie makers

There is-or was last I looked-a shop here that does savoury shakes. Along with the more 'normal' ones. So savoury smoothies are a possibility.....

"and you can make some great cocktails in the smoothie makers "

Oh dont worry FGT, these are coming along at the weekend!

[rowanwitch]

Amaretto, peach archers and fresh peaches thinned with white grape juice
Black frozen fruit mix kirsch and brandy
Mango, melon, pineapple white and dark rum and a large slug of malibu

[tiggerblue10]

Slightly over-ripe mango and banana. I don't put any liquid in so I eat it with a spoon.
