Today's Smoothie

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today we made a smoothie with:

1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup Brown Cow vanilla yogurt
1 banana
1/2 cup Wawona Daybreak Blend frozen fruit (peaches, mango, strawberries, pineapple)
1/2 cup ice

The result is pale peach, slightly thick, with a great tropical flavor. :D

Sounds good, but I try to avoid banana in smoothies, as I find it overwhelms all the other flavors.

Smoothies tend to be modular. I use banana for creaminess, sweetness, and fiber. Coconut cream and avocado are two other options. But you could also just use more frozen fruit.

If it’s modular, then it’s a chunkie, not a smoothie. For me, doesn’t matter the ratio, essentially any banana overcomes the other fruit flavors.

Never heard of a chunkie. What I meant was you can swap out the banana for another ingredient that does the same job.

I was making a (feeble) joke.

This is one iteration of one of our standard smoothie algorithms, the fruit one:

1 cup delicious liquid (usually fruit juice)
1 cup yogurt
1 banana
1/2 cup frozen fruit
1/2 cup ice

It makes a very reliable fruit-based smoothie. Hit the Recipe tag to find more versions.
