the cottage cheese just packs in that extra amount of protein. i guess greek yogurt would work just as well.


i use the magic bullet for all of mine. often times i feel i put too much stuff in it and the smoothie becomes too thick. the bullet isn't that big. are you guys using something like this or a big blender?

magic bullet? never knew you were into guns much.

yeah i use a regular sized blender. it is old & works like a champ. i'll try & remember to add some cottage cheese sometime.

just made a nice one:
handfulla carrots
handfulla spinach
one banana
one strawberry
handfulla cranberries
a nice dash of cranberry/apple juice

I picked up a hamilton beach brand blender on Amazon, it is a to-go cup blender. absolutely perfect.

Smoothies that you buy here are quite different from in America (in my experience). Last year when I had a holiday in America, I forgot and ordered a take-away smoothie and took one sip and binned it! Smoothies normally have ice-cream or at the very least; vanilla yoghurt.

I use a stick blender and normally have a strawberry or banana smoothie, or a combination of both fruits. Mangoes are my favourite food, so when they are in season I absolutely love having mango smoothies.

So I use:

About half a dozen fresh strawberries OR 1 banana & about 4-5 strawberries OR 1 mango
A few scoops of ice-cream
Full cream milk

Years ago I used to buy really beautiful custard apple smoothies...never tried making one at home, but I loved them!

wife and i purchased the Bullet a week ago. it has been a fun week for smoothies! have just been using some frozen strawberries and greek yogurt for most of them. figuring out consistency has been tough.....i would like to get a little more creative. some good ideas here i will try in the coming days

...are the best. I put in banana, frozen raspberries and cocoa powder to mix with the yoghurt and milk. Add some sugar. Done. It's delicious!

i've yet to use milk, frozen fruit, honey or yogurt
frozen fruit sounds like a nice winter months blend beings a lot of the fresh fruits will be nowhere to be found.

Chadwick, try adding ice-cream and milk...you won't regret it!
