Such a coincidence. My sister gave me a Nutri Ninja for Christmas two years ago and I just took it out of the box this week. Haven't used it yet but I hope to very soon. So I mostly have nothing for you on the smoothie front.
ReplyDeleteExcept I used to work in a cafe where we made some good smoothies that could be good starters. A cup of apple juice. Frozen fruit -- we used strawberries, blueberries, bananas, or a combination. Ice. Blend. Some people ordered theirs without ice, in which case we used more frozen bananas. I didn't like bananas then, so I stuck to blueberries and strawberries.
My favorite Jamba Juice (which isn't on the menu anymore but I still order it) is called Orange Berry Blitz and I really want to try it at home. Orange juice, pineapple sorbet, frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries. I just Googled and came up with this: http://www.fairyburger.com/copycat-orange-berry-blitz.
Looking forward to your smoothie photos!
The blender I bought is definitely not as hardcore as a Nutri Ninja - mine is just a simple, personal-sized blender - but I did get some frozen strawberries and blueberries. I can't have too much sugar at once because I'm diabetic so I can't add juice on top of the fruit, but I did make a smoothie with frozen strawberries and a banana with just water as my liquid, and it actually came out really good!
DeleteThe Orange Berry Blitz sounds awesome, though. Maybe I will get some frozen pineapples in lieu of sorbet. :)
