That sounds good too Anonymous! I have been making smoothies almost daily the past few weeks and have also made some without milk or yogurt. They are delicious! I will try pineapple next time! Thanks!

I personally am a fan of strawberry banana but that could because I always have these items left over at the end of the week. I always add about half a cup of OJ, no milk, ice cubes. In the summer I will use pineapple and strawberry. The pineapple is wonderful. I add a little Splenda for extra sweetness. Mine would be more on the thinner side since I don't use yogurt or milk.

Ever since I started making these things, I have been drinking 2 servings in one sitting! They are highly addictive :-)

I am totally addicted to smoothies - the other day at the office was declared "smoothie day" and I brought in a bunch of Trader Joe's frozen fruit (the mango mix is GREAT for smoothies and I don't even like mango) and yogurt and milk and we had it (luckily we've got a full sized kitchen here).

My colleagues finally had to have an intervention as they were concerned about my excessive smoothie consumption. It's dangerous after 4 apparently :P

I do ice, a handful of frozen fruit (the more in the mix the better), two packets of Splenda, 2% milk (makes for a thicker smoothie but skim is okay too if you're trying to cut down the calories, just use a little extra ice to thicken) and plain organic yogurt.

I wish I were the type of person to measure things out but... yeah right. :)

Thanks anonymous and mmcpa! Those sound great!
