Simple Smoothie Recipes It doesn't have to be summertime to enjoy healthy and refreshing simple smoothie recipes. On a warm summer day it is a great way to get kids to drink a cool drink packed with fruit and calcium. Smoothies are easy to put together. Use whatever fruit you have available and add a little milk, some yogurt and some ice cubes. It really is that simple. You can also add extra flavors like sugar or vanilla. I prefer to leave the sugar out but it is an individual preference. The great thing about smoothies is, you can be creative and discover what your favorite flavor is. One of our favorite flavors at our house is from the cooking video on our Mango food facts page. Our least favorite was when we added a grapefruit including the white part. It turned out very bitter. (we should have known) Next time cut out the grapefruit by sections then add to smoothie! The secret to really great smoothies is in the blender. Your best option, and most economically in the long run, is to get a heavy duty blender. I have a Vita Mix and I use it at least once a day not just for smoothies though I use mine for chopping vegetables in cooking. Cream soups are great made in the blender. Shaved ice is fun and easy with the Vita mix. It has been an investment that has really paid for itself.
