These
smoothie recipes are simply a starting point. Mix and match ingredients to your taste. Try a wide variety of fruits in different
combinations. Fruits may be used frozen or fresh. To freeze bananas, peel when ripe and put in a bag in the freezer at least
overnight. Other fruits may be purchased frozen, or frozen from fresh. Depending on your blender, you may want to set out
frozen fruit for 15-30 minutes before you make your smoothie, as this will allow for easier blending.
