Frozen smoothies/milkshakes

I'm drinking a vanilla protein shake blended with a liberal helping of frozen blueberries. It's like thick frozen yoghurt and it's lush.

What frozen fruit or fruit combinations work well blended into shakes and smoothies? I have no imagination when it comes to making food type things at all.

As for green smoothies, I've given up with those for a while. Even following recipes I manage to make completely unpalatable green goop.

I used to love banana & strawberry smoothies, but I like more exotic fruits nowadays, like mango & pineapple.

Maybe try something like frozen yogurt with mango, pear, melon, strawberries and a bit of orange juice or apple juice.

I like most combinations as long as there is no banana. It seems to overpower all the other flavors

I love mango and pineapple but it might be a bit sweet for me. I'll give it a go though.

One of the supermarkets makes a smoothie mix that sounds lovely, except it has celery in it and I can't stand celery.

I'm not the greatest fan of banana in smoothies either.

This blueberry one is great though, and even better, it's satisfied my craving for ice cream without having to go out, buy ice cream and eat a couple of thousand calories worth of sugar and fat.

I'd suggest adding something like orange juice to sour it up a little but would that be icky with yogurt?

Google suggests using unsweetened coconut milk or natural yogurt to balance it out

Lime juice might work well but yes, curdled yoghurt probably isn't the best. Coconut milk sounds like a plan

Or what about just a load of berries? Tesco are currently doing a nice mixed tray of raspberries, blueberries & strawberries at the minute.

I have a Chocolate soy protein shake made with almond milk and blended together with Black Forest berries and two raw eggs every morning for breakfast.

Hold the eggs and that sounds great. I wonder if it would work with cookies and cream shake instead.

Sounds lovely. They also do bags of frozen summer fruits, which would probably be really nice.

I'm going to make myself hungry again at this rate!

Would orange juice curdle yogurt? I eat it sometimes with ice cream and it's perfect.

The eggs are a protein filler, fuller for longer which means no need to snack until lunch

No I wouldn't be able to stomach celery either

Just exclude that particular ingredient

I haven't tried it. Maybe. Experimentation required

Chester

Our regular breakfast is either:

250ml almond milk, 50g frozen dark cherries and 2 scoops chocolate protein (tastes like Black Forest gateau)

Or

250ml almond milk, 50g frozen raspberries and 2 scoops vanilla protein (tastes just like drumstick lollies!).

Sometimes I do 250ml coconut milk (the 'milk' type, not the type from a can), 50g frozen pineapple and 2 scoops vanilla protein (kina a piña colada vibe).

I understand the theory but I doubt I could drink anything with raw egg mixed into it.

I'm not actively training so I just need to keep calories down and manage my carb intake. If I need a filler to make my shakes more filling, I add fibre. Psyllium husk or flax seeds or something.

The idea of the smoothie was so I didn't go out and buy ice cream. I'm going to end up going out anyway at this rate, although I'll buy a metric tonne of fruit instead!

They all sound nice, thank you.

If I'm going to get one of those, I may just as well go for the ice cream, I suspect

It's a while since I had one so I'm trying to remember if I used orange juice or apple juice

I think orange juice would work well if your other ingredients are sweet. Trial and error I guess
