Smoothies who makes them ?

I think the one I make is relatively healthy.  It might not exactly be low calorie, but it is filled with nutritious goodness... and it tastes pretty good too.  I would rather get that caloric intake from fruit / vegetables than a burger and fries.  :-P

Does anyone make a smoothie they think tastes good? ... and by that I mean, a transitional smoothie ... one that's half-healthy ...
 
Every half-tasty smoothie I've ever had, doesn't turn out to be all that much healthier than just having chicken breast sandwich ...
 
The only smoothie I've ever REALLY liked (acai and protein powder) came from a fitness supplies store ... but I mean, that thing was a meal-replacement ...

You know me, I'll try anything and everything ... postie up and I'll take a crack at it (in the next 6 months) if you don't mind ...
 
I think I'm good about getting to everything (except mailing out Mystery Citrus seeds), but there's usually a little delay while it lives in my Inbox ;) ...

I usually just do 2 bananas, a handful of frozen berries, a bit of plain yogurt and some apple juice. I turns out quite well.
 
We make smoothies now and then. I try all sorts of different stuff. I used to use a juicer, but I like getting all the pulp and nutritious stuff. We actually made some last night.

I used Granny Smith apples, oranges l, kiwi, blueberries, and added some coconut milk for liquid. Sooo good.

One of my favorites though is just carrots and oranges. Love those two flavors together. Blackberries go with anything too.

I'm looking forward to making them from my garden this year. I have several berry varieties, greens, carrots, fruit etc......

Any smoothie makers out there who have some favorite recipes? 
 
Have you ever tried any type of hot peppers in a smoothie ?
 
What type of machine are you using and how is the texture ?
 
Right now we are using the Ninja 1200 Ultra Kitchen System and primarily use frozen fruit and almond milk or fruit juice. No yogurt. Sometimes I use milk with a banana smoothie.

thanks for the recipe !!!
 
1 cup Whole milk
2 Tbs Cocoa Powder
2 Bananas
2 scoops Peanut Butter

Simple,but,very tasty and packed with protein,potassium etc.

Goes down great after a hard workout.

I use an old blender. Nothing fancy,but,gets the job done.
 
Now that some of my berries are ripening like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries along with spinach, swiss chard, carrots I've been making some smoothies from the garden. Next month I'll have some ripe blackberries, peaches and nectarines to add in with the smoothies. I'm feeling rather healthy lately.   :)
