Blend together a large Mango, 3 nectarines and the juice of 2 freshly squeezed oranges. And you get a very smooth, and tasty drink.
Makes 1.5 pints of smoothie.
And a mark of 8/10
Welcome to this refreshing blog!!! I have now been making smoothies pretty much everyday since early March 2006 and thought it would be a good idea to share recipes and thoughts about them

Soya Milk, bananas and maple syrup
This is cvlearly not the most healthy of all smoothies... I was just craving for it yesterday. Blend together 15 cl of soya milk, 3 small bananas and a large spoon of maple syrup, and you get a very syrupy milkshake :-)
Makes 1 pint of drink, and I guess a mark of 7/10.

Pinapple, nectarines, banana and lime
Still playing with yesterday ingredients since I do not have any oranges, I decided to blend together half a small pinapple, 3 nectarines, 1 small banana and 3 freshly squeezed lime. The result was a smoothie on the thick side. Nevertheless, a tasty one. Hence a mark of 6.5/10.
The quantities mentioned above helped to make over a pint of smoothie.

Pinapple, nectarines, lime and lemon
Today first smoothie was made of a small pinapple, 3 nectarines and the juice of 2 lemons and three limes. The smoothie obtained was very tasty, all fruits recognisable but was a bit of a zinger. So I would suggest the same fruits but a smaller quantity of lime and lemons.
I will give a mark of 7/10, as the taste was good even if slightly bitter
We then added a small banana, which helped to get rid of the bitterness, but the taste changed slightly. I will only give 6/10 to this one.

Oatly and bananas
If like me you come back from the market with a few fruits crushed you might end up having to make a smoothie with the damaged fruits, in my case bananas.
Since I had a brick of oatly open in the fridge, I thought about making a variant to banana milkshake. This turned out to be a very good idea. It was just smooth, sweet and nice on the tongue, while remaining very healthy. Highly recommended.
Mark of 8/10.
We got two pints of smoothie out of 6 bananas and 250ml of Oatly drink.
