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. 

hodgepodge

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1 kiwi
• 1 apple
• cranberry yogurt
• some pineapple
• 1 tbsp oatmeal
• ice

5/5 stars

This is one of the few smoothies where there isn't one ingredient that stands out significantly more than the others. The flavor is simply "fruit," and with each sip it's hard to pinpoint the actual ingredients. 

cranyo

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1 apple
• cranberry yogurt
• 1 tbsp oatmeal
• ice

5/5 stars

The cranberry yogurt was a perfect complement to apple/banana combo. The oatmeal was extra flavor and texture. All around a great drink!

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.

awesome

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• lots of pineapple
• strawberry yogurt
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp fruit milk powder
• ice

5/5 stars

There was a really great balance of flavor in this. I decided to keep it simple with a relatively small variety of fruit and just add small things to bring out the flavor. It all worked.

ice cream

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1 ice cream bar (vanilla and peanut flavor, chocolate shell)
• strawberry yogurt
• 1 tbsp peanut butter

5/5 stars

I don't normally eat ice cream, but I found it in the freezer and gave it a whirl and decided I might need to make a habit out of buying ice cream. There were so many good things happening in this smoothie that I didn't even make it out of the kitchen with the cup. I have one more of those ice cream bars and I know exactly how I'm going to drink it.

kiwi blue

Ingredients:

• 2 kiwis
• 1 banana
• a generous amount of pineapple
• blueberry yogurt
• 1 tbsp oatmeal
• ice

5/5 stars

This is nearly identical to the Strawberry Kiwi, with the major change of yogurt flavor. I used a lot of yogurt and a lot of pineapple, so the smoothie was really creamy and had almost a tart banana taste to it. I'm looking forward to this one again.

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.

blueberry oatmeal

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1 kiwi
• 1 apple
• blueberry yogurt
• 2 tbsp finely chopped oatmeal
• 2 tbsp grape juice concentrate syrup
• ice

3/5 stars

This is basically the oatmeal but with blueberry instead of strawberry yogurt. There wasn't much flavor beyond the blueberry yogurt, so perhaps next time calls for more fruit or less yogurt. It's a great, nutritious blend, but doesn't jump off the page.

malted

Ingredients:

• 2 bananas
• 1 apple
• 1 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 tbsp fruit milk powder
• malt milk
• ice

5/5 stars

I think anything with malt milk is an automatic 5/5. Actually, I really enjoyed the banana to apple ratio in this smoothie. I managed to get over 2 cups out of this, so I think a little more peanut butter would have rounded out the flavor even more. 

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.

nutty

Ingredients:

• 2 bananas
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 3 tbsp finely chopped oatmeal
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• rice milk
• ice

5/5 stars

I actually almost went back and made a second batch of this immediately after gulping in one breath. This one is a variation of breakfast, and the changes made a big difference, although I think using rice milk and malt milk put them in incomparable categories. 

strawberry kiwi

Ingredients:

• 2 kiwis
• 1 banana
• some pineapple
• strawberry yogurt
• 1 tbsp fruit milk powder
• ice

5/5 stars

My rating system is basically based on how fast I drink each smoothie, and almost all 2 cups of this one was gone in 1 swig. This smoothie is a no-brainer, as these ingredients are well-known to go together. I'll be adding oatmeal in the future for extra nutrients.

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.

breakfast

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped oatmeal
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• malt milk
• ice

5/5 Stars

This is just as good in smoothie form as it looks on paper! It was very thin and easy to drink. Chopping the oatmeal into a powder removed any chunks or texture it might have added. Also, I ran out of peanut butter, so I think this could be even better with another tablespoon. I might be looking at my breakfast regular.

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. 

fruity

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1 apple
• 1kiwi
• some pineapple
• some orange juice
• some grape juice (concentrate syrup)
• ice

5/5 stars

Throw it all in there for a blast of flavor and nutrition. I tried first with 2 kiwis, but it turns out that the kiwi's flavor is really potent and adding a second one masks the flavor of the other fruit.

peanut butter

Ingredients:

• 2 apples
• 2 bananas
• 1 cup OJ
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• ice

5/5 stars

Success! The idea was to combine my favorite crunchy snacks into a delicious blend, and it worked. I might go heavier on the peanut butter next time. And maybe less banana to allow the apple flavor to come out more.
