  3. Mental focus should be the only tool you require Utilize citrus produce separately from other produce
  4. Blender will do fine.......recipes ? I've hundreds pet......try a base yogurt and put all your fav fruits in, the more the merrier......healthyyyyyyyyy....... Chef
  5. I think that a blender is just as good as a smoothy maker, the only difference is that the smoothy maker has a stirring stick and a pouring nozzle. Sorry but I don't have any recipes, I guess these come with the smoothy makers!
  6. No a Blender is fine. Recipe ~ Basic Fruit Smoothie 1 cup fruit - use a mixed frozen~ Mango, strawberry, papaya 1/2 cup Milk, Soy or Rice milk or Yogurt(I like Vanilla Yogurt) 1/2 Ice Cubes Blend

  10. you can use a blender.. good smoothies.. banana and strawberry. apple and peach, get some recipes from the web.
  11. an ordinary blender will do......... Strawberry Smoothie Recipe 2 cups of nonfat milk or non dairy milk substitute 1/4 to 1/2 cup frozen strawberries 1 frozen or fresh banana 1 tsp. honey 1/8 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. vanilla 1 serving smoothie mix (optional) Mix all ingredients together in a blender and serve.
  12. No, I use a general purpose liquidiser/blender. I cut the fruit into small bits before blending. My Recipe: 200ml fresh OJ 4 large spoons of natural yogurt 2 apples 1 pear Handful of grapes Melon 2 bananas Handful of strawberries Cut the fruit up into small pieces before putting into the blender. Also, if the smoothie is too sour then add some water (or vanilla ice cream) As a side note, did you know that smoothies are very bad for your teeth? Sugar from the fruit is released all in one go and more of your teeth (surface) gets covered in the sugar, as opposed to eating the fruit in bits.
  13. A normal blender is fine, just put some soft fruit, bananas, strawberries, or raspberries in with some natural yoghurt, milk and ice cubes and blend until smooth, lovely!!
  14. you can probaly use a blender try it to be onest i think thats just what are smothy maker does lol
  15. You can use a regular blender to make smoothies. Try some new ones using juice, fruit and frozen yougurt.
  16. I'm sure you can use a blender - or even food processor. I have never made a smoothie before or any recipes - sorry!
  17. All you need is a hand blender to make it go smooth
  18. I usually just use my own blender. I put in my preference of milk or juice, add my fruit and a few cubes of ice and blend. I think the only think smoothie mixers are good for is that they can break up the ice a little better. But other than that, if you don't mind bits of ice in your smoothie than your good with your blender. I like banana smoothies because I love bananas! Add a few ice cubes, milk, one banana (or half if you don't want the whole banana) and blend. It's yummy!!! Good Luck! Sara.
  19. No, a blender will do if you can control the speed to prevent your contents from curdling. and the blender cutters means the contents are more difficult to remove from the blade and it costs you more for contents and volume losses etc against a smoothie, I bought my wifes from Curries for all round price and quality. and 12 month guanrantee
  20. i just use a blender its just the same Peanut Butter Smoothie And what goes better with peanut butter than a bit of banana? INGREDIENTS: 1 cup milk 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream 2 tbs smooth peanut butter 1 banana, frozen PREPARATION: Break the banana into chunks, and then combine with the other ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  21. i just use a normal blender and it does the same as a smoothie maker
