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.

sweet and sour

Ingredients:

  • 1 apple
  • 2 kiwis
  • a lot of pineapple
  • orange juice
  • 1 tbsp fruit milk powder
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ice
3/5 stars

This is a deceptive rating because it was a delicious drink, but it needs adjustments. The pineapple added too much texture, which is a problem I can fix by cutting smaller slices. I also used a lot of orange juice in this batch, which practically monopolized the whole drink. I see a lot of potential for these ingredients in different amounts.

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. 

breakfast

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

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.
