Equinox

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1 apple
• 1-2 handfuls of pineapple chunks
• orange juice

4/5 stars

The pineapple and orange juice definitely add a tangy flavor to this smoothie, although it is appropriately counter-balanced by the addition of a banana and an apple. There is a lot of texture from the apple and pineapple (and if you use pulpy orange juice). It's got a nice heavy tropical feel to it. 

chocolate milk

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• lots of pineapple
• 1 tbsp oatmeal
• chocolate milk
• ice

4/5 stars

Chocolate and banana are two flavors that are born for each other. The pineapple, despite the amount I put in, was really subtle and didn't add much to the taste. Next time I'm going to add less chocolate milk to allow the pineapple to do its work, and give the smoothie an overall thicker, creamy texture.

plain

Ingredients:

• peeled grapes
• lots of pineapple
• 1 kiwi
• plain yogurt
• ice

4/5 stars

I'm on the fence about plain yogurt, as it was an accident that I bought it. There is something to be said about how good this was compared to how simple it is. The yogurt dulled the sourness of the kiwi and pineapple without taking away from its flavor. More plain yogurt smoothies to come.

banana berry

Ingredients:

• 2 bananas
• 2 kiwis
• strawberry yogurt
• blueberry yogurt
• 2 tbsp oatmeal
• ice

4/5 stars

I couldn't decide whether to add strawberry or blueberry yogurt, so in the end I added both. The flavor didn't blend as well as I would have liked, so the only change I would make is to choose 1 yogurt or the other. 

pear

Ingredients:

• 1 pear
• 1 banana
• 1 apple
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• rice milk
• ice

4/5 stars

This was an experiment with the pear, but it was severely overshadowed by the banana, the peanut butter, and the peanut flavored rice milk. It was definitely good, but not enough pear.

leftovers

Ingredients:

• 1 apple
• 1 kiwi
• 2 tbsp grape juice concentrate syrup
• orange juice
• ice

4/5 stars

This was simple, but really filling. It had a really smooth consistency and the apple definitely helped tone down the tangy taste. 

blue bananas

Ingredients:

• 2 bananas
• 1 kiwi
• 3 tbsp finely chopped oatmeal
• 2 tbsp fruit milk powder
• blueberry yogurt
• ice

4/5 stars

There isn't a lot of liquid to this smoothie, which makes it very thick and filling. The kiwi ended up serving a purely nutritional purpose, as the two bananas and blueberry yogurt flavors were very dominating. Next time I might only add 1 banana to see how the kiwi blends with the blueberry flavor.

tropical C

Ingredients:

• 2 kiwis
• some pineapple
• orange juice
• celery leaves
• spinach
• ice

4/5 stars

I just learned that celery leaves have a lot of Vitamin C, and kiwis also have "more vitamin C than an equivalent amount of orange." This smoothie was medium thickness and tangy. All the ingredients complemented each other very well. I'll do it again.

snack

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1 apple
• some spinach
• some celery leaves
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• rice milk
• ice

4/5 stars

This was really good but it didn't blow me away. I made it very thick and there was a very strong peanut butter flavor, which was my goal. I'll make it again for sure.

really green

Ingredients:

• 1 kiwi
• some pineapple
• celery
• celery leaves
• spinach
• rice milk
• ice

4/5

Even though this was a great smoothie, I have a feeling it would have been better with orange juice. I'm definitely going to make it again, but perhaps tinker with a few of the ingredients.

oatmeal

Ingredients:

• some plain, dry oatmeal
• 1 banana
• 1 kiwi
• 1 apple
• strawberry yogurt
• ice

4/5 stars

If I had been able to grind the oatmeal into a finer powder, this would have been 5/5. The oatmeal does provide a nice texture and, of course, extra nutrients. 

green

Ingredients:

• some spinach
• orange juice
• 1 apple
• grape juice (concentrate syrup)
• ice

4/5 stars

This was actually really good. It was very thin, as it only had 1 piece of fruit. It's quick and easy to blend, and I think I'll be making more of these.
