FRUIT SMOOTHIES! WHAT DO YOU PUT IN YOURS?

I make about 10 1/2 cups of this wonderful tasty meal and drink it through out my busy and physically active work day.

My Ambrosia-Banana-Citrus smoothie is my favorite. Here's my recipe: 2 packages - 455gms frozen banana chunks. I put 2 ripe whole bananas in also weighing apx 120gms each. I add 113 gms of Kiwi (1 large), 1 slice pineapple 251G, strawberries 236 grms, 1 mango 216 gms and the juice of 1 navel, 2 small grapefruit, and 2 tangerines. YUMMMM

Every few days I am adding more bananas. Yesterday I hig 1214 grms total! Yea!

What is your favorite recipe?

Andy B. that is quiet an interesting combo. I have all three on hand as standards. I may give this a try for a change of pace. What amounts of each item do you use?

Usually about 7-9 bananas, 3-5 mangos, bok choy to taste (I use 6-8 full size leaves). The bitterness of the bok choy "mellows out" the sugar and what you get, in my opinion, is a relaxing drink.

Andy B, the baby bok choy I love and I want to use it more. I think I'll try putting some in my smoothies and see what I think.

Yesterday I made 12 cups of fruit smoothie! I shared some and glad I had extra. I made mine with 1703 gms of bananas!!!!, 245g pineapple, 89g kiwi, 237g strawberries, and 179 g mango with 11ozs of grapefruit juice, 7 ozs of navel orange juice and 5 ozs of tangerine juice. WOWWEEEE!! LOL

Thanks for your recipe. Keep on Carbin' up!

Generally I keep it simple. Bananas & water occasionally a little cinnamon if I've been hitting the bananas hard.

Dates & water.

Lately I've been really enjoying juicing about 10 valencia oranges & throwing the juice in the blender with 2 or 3 mangoes. And some ice if it's a really hot day.

About the most adventurous I get is dates, banana & cinnamon together.
