Time to spill the beans! I've been living on these drinks for a long time ....
almost as long as Mac. Most recently I've found some protein powder made from
100% ground pumpkin seed. Also putting in some flax seeds, yoghurt de jour, cantaloupe,
banana, splash of maple syrup and either some grapefruit juice or (in season)
some fresh pressed apple cider. And then blending it all in a Nutribullet.

Sounds good!

We have a blender but It just stands there. Sometimes I look at it. I swear it looks at me at times.

Ha ha! Regardless of what Mac preferred .... I'm thinking that it is the wrong forum crowd for this (relatively) healthy concoction. Please prove me wrong! ...... ?

Not at all! My wife and I have lived on fruit smoothies for years....love them!

Great! Do you make them yourself and if so, how so?

We do. Usually fresh fruit, like blueberries, strawberries, etc. along with banana(s) and a soy smoothie mix. Then add apple juice and whatever else we're in the mood for and blend it. It tastes great! Do you have a recipe?

Oops, forgot the yogurt and peanut butter. Sometimes a shot of chocolate for variety!

I make nutri-blasts. Usually various combinations of Kale, tomato,cucumber,apple,pear,berries,banana.

I also regularly use a food drink powder which is like a milk shake, only designed to be a food replacement, much like the diet shakes I guess except this is aimed more at people who may be recovering from illness, or just don't have time to make a meal. They can make one of these drinks instead. I try not to live on it because it's important to eat real food because many bacteria in your stomach live on enzymes and stuff from the real food, so just having 100% processed food (which that powder is) means the digestive bacteria die off and leads to gastric issues.

Sounds Great! No - no real recipe. Sort of pot luck with the berry, fruit, veggie, juice season and then what's on sale for yoghurt and then add accordingly for taste, thickness, texture. On cheat days I can add a little ice cream. The organic pumpkin seed powder is a regular additive though as is the cold milled flax seeds. The region where I live is one of the better ones in the world for growing apples and I have about 20 heritage trees on the property .... this year I'm going to try to press my own cider and for to add to the mix.

Me and the blender aren't on speaking terms at the moment.

Last time I used it, it had a high-speed input/output error that coated me, the kitchen and both the cats in home made tomato soup...

Now the blender leers at me each time I pass it in the kitchen and I scowl back. One day, I will wrestle it into submission and have a disaster-free fruit smoothie of my own.

But it is not this day...

I grew up next door to an apple orchard. I sure miss those fresh apples! We've used flax seeds too. The thing I like about smoothies is that you get a whole lot of good in one glass and they taste great!

Rocket, take on thy opponent with thy Commander and haveth that smoothie....I had one do the same thing, and what a mess!

Mix yoghurt, banana and blueberry and drop of milk = Yum smoothie
