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.

apple ice cream

Ingredients:

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

2/5 stars

Not even close to being as good as its banana counterpart. It was way too sweet, and even with 2 apples, it wasn't enough to dilute the sweetness and flavor of the chocolate the way a banana could. I won't combine these ingredients like this again, and maybe the ice cream was only a 1 time treat because it was different from the otherwise fruity, healthy norm.

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. 

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.

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. 

yum

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp oatmeal
• strawberry yogurt
• 1 kiwi
• 1 apple
• 1 tbsp fruit milk powder
• ice

4/5 stars

I had dreams about making this smoothie, but it wasn't as perfect as I had imagined. If I hadn't had sky-high expectations, it would probably be a 5/5. Another kiwi might do the trick.

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.
