I am all about smoothies too at the moment. I soak oats in soy (or nut) milk overnight in the fridge and then chuck in a banana and handful of frozen berries in the morning and blitz.
Currently I am also using drained tinned fruit, I buy fruit in juice and then add the juice to fizzy water for a refeshing drink.
I am wondering how a handful of lentil or bean sprouts would work? I’ll try this tomorrow.

What a great post. I’m not in the habit of making smoothies, but I definitely think I’ll start adding that to my repertoire, especially to make use of more economical frozen fruit in the winter (as opposed to splashing out for berries shipped from around the world). Thanks for the ideas!

I am inspired by this list – if it wasn’t so late I would be running out to the shops for ingredients – but maybe tomorrow – peach and raspberry is one of my favourite fruit combinations but like Cassie I feel the need for some greener grass on the other side of the fence

Hi Sophie, I’m liking the sound of a smoothie with rose or orange water. And your tip to freeze the yogurt for about an hour before blending is a great idea! Now between all the smoothie combo suggestions left in the post you linked to along with all of your ideas here, I shouldn’t have to worry about smoothie ruts for quite some time. :)

With the fall coming, I like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice too.

Oops--guess my link didn't work. The spinach smoothie is at http://dietdessertndogs.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/smooth-operator/ . Thanks!

I love the no-cal additions! My favorite thing to add has become greens of any sort (such as in this recipe, which uses spinach)–no one sees it (because of the blueberries) or tastes it, and it adds mega nutrients! :)
