The goal of all smoothie making is to combine raw ingredients to produce a nutritious wellness enhancing drink that makes your taste buds dance for joy!

Using your imagination, and your blender, you can easily whip solid fruits, vegetables, and greens into a tasty and nutritious drink!

There are so many different types of smoothies. But what all smoothies have in common is that they incorporate some type of fruit. There are fruit smoothies, with only fruit and perhaps water, there are green smoothies where greens are added to the fruit and liquid, and there are smoothies which have some vegetables added too.

Here are some delicious recipes for smoothies shared by my readers:

Annie from Tasmania says, "We love smoothies, either for a quick breakfast, or as a snack during the day. The whole family often takes a container with the smoothie for the day pour into it in the morning, then we can use it as an energy throughout the day. Here's one of our more unusual smoothies:

Berry Beetroot Smoothie

Ingredients:
1 young coconut, milk and meat
4 small beetroots (the small ones are sweeter and more intense flavor)
2 cups of fresh blueberries or frozen berries
1 tsp fresh grated ginger

Directions:
Blend and slurp!

Serves 4 - easily doubled if you want big glasses or extra to take away.
