Aren't smoothies brilliant?

[kwerk]

i have used frozen fruit in the past, but it tasted horrible, cranberries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries the lot of them, but i think freezing kills them.

so it's best to just stick to the basics.

i know a lot of people who don't like peanut butter, but they love it in a shake or chocolate peanut butter flavour protein powder.

you can get cheap vanilla pods off ebay too.

so try banana, half a vanilla pod and some peanut butter and milk. very cheap smoothie there and should taste great

If you don't freeze the bananas i find the smoothie gets too full of air bubbles.

I use a mix of:

1 scoop Unflavoured whey protein
1 scoop 100% pure cocoa powder
1 scoop powdered peanut butter (PB2 - amazing!)
1 banana
1 cup 1% milk

Tastes amazing! Sometimes I'll add in a tablespoon of instant coffee powder in the morning instead of the peanut butter etc.

I never thought of using instant coffee, thats a good idea. Maybe almond milk, instant coffee, banana and avocado.

I'm going to experiment with rooibos tea as well. Like cold rooibos, frozen rasberries and mango or something.

I normal make my smoothies using a blender using:
cold apple/orange juice,
1 fresh banana,
frozen mango/strawberries/mixed berries/any frozen fruit you like,

Using frozen fruits (you could peel and freeze your bananas too) makes the drink much thicker which imo tastes way better than using fresh room temperature fruits.


Long time ago some Brazilian friends told me how to make some wicked avocado drink, glass of milk, half of avocado, some sugar, blend it all together, nom nom nom
