    please share your yummy smoothie recipes.
    Trying to include atleast few smoothies in a week.

    sometimes a combination of veg and fruits dont taste well and the whole thing is wasted. no one drinks it at home.
    tried and tested recipes would be great and easy to put it together too, rather than thinking which combination would work.

    my to go recipe is orange and pineapple fruit smoothie as of now. but kids r getting tired of it.

    Thanks!

    I make green smoothies. If your kids will drink something that's green it is a healthy option.

    Spinach/kale (use a smaller portion of greens to start, increase if they like it)
    Apple/pineapple/grapes/peaches/blueberries/raspberries/strawberries
    Banana
    Avocado (optional)
    Lemon/orange for a citrus zing
    Little bit of ginger (optional)
    Splash of coconut milk/almond milk or just ice cubes (we don't drink cow's milk, but you can use that or yogurt)

    You can vary the proportions of the fruits. I usually include the banana or avocado as it makes the drink more creamy. I buy fresh fruits and prep them for a week at a time, but frozen fruit is also fine. I put everything in a container the previous day so it takes no time in the morning.
    Try small portions first to see if everyone likes it.

    Thankyou Malstrom and radv.
    kids love to eat strawberry as is so they dont let me make smoothy.
    Malstrom do u put any one of those fruits or two three types?

    Lemon/orange do u put with the rind or just the pieces of fruit.

    Lemon or orange: I always remove the rind and seeds, just the pulp
    Fruits: Either banana or avocado is always there. Then I do two or three other fruits depending on what is at hand. The frozen fruits are convenient for this.
