Possibly some veggies for health.

I personally find I need a little flavoring added, vanilla and cinammon do the trick for me. Yumm, I think I'll dust off my blender. :mornincoffee:

That's my basic go-to smoothie too: yogurt, whatever fresh fruit I have and some spinach. Or same except whey protein powder/water or skim milk as the liquid instead of yogurt. I often add cinnamon because it helps you burn calories, plus tastes good. :)

My smoothie maker is the Blendtec. Love it!

Wanna fattening one???? How about a Shamrock Shake for St. Pat's Day?

3C Vanilla Ice Cream
1 3/4 C 1% Milk
1/2 tsp. Peppermint Extract
Green Food Coloring

Blend it and ENJOY.... (you may want to substitute with Peppermint Schnapps)

Thanks! I'd be more likely to have Peppermint Schnapps on hand than Peppermint Extract.... :p
