1 medium banana
1 cup pear nectar or juice

1 tablespoon seedless raspberry jam
6 ice cubes or. . . 1 cup of ice optional

How easy is that! You can substitute the jam for honey and the pear for milk of your choice.
Don't forget how good bananas are for you. Potassium and low G.I. to keep the energy levels and stamina in your "tank" for longer!

Go Bananas! Try different combinations.

Find out about recipe ideas and the benefits of smoothies. Included are fantastic recipes for when you haven't got time to prepare a healthy breakfast or lunch.
Smoothies are not only quick to prepare, they are also nutritious and give you lots of energy. Great for kid's breakfasts, especially when you're in a hurry and trying to get out the door.
Smoothies can be as healthy as you like. They are great for not anly the taste buds "yum" but also for stamina. If you are cutting out the junk food and replacing it with a smoothie, you won't only cut down your weight and benefit your health,you'll save money too!

Play around with the combinations. Have fun. Changing between fruits, cocoa, coffee, nuts, vegetables etc. Try different options for the liquid content.
Depending on what flavour you are trying to achieve,I like to use a variety of milks, yogurts, honey or eggs. Hey, a Smooth-nog!
Just remember to keep your solid ingredients to a size your blender can handle and have enough liquid content for easy mixing.
P.S. Don't over fill your container, or you might end up with a "eruption" when you hit the "blend" button!
