Do you have a Ninja food /ice chopper?The "recipe" book is a joke,so would like to find good smoothie recipes.

You can use any smoothie recipe in your Ninja--I do. I don't follow a recipe, I just throw in any frozen fruit I have a taste for, some milk, a little vanilla flavoring and sugar (I use Splenda) and press the button! Um Um Good!

Do you add ice?

You can add ice if your fruit is not frozen but I think that waters down the taste. I buy lots and lots of fruit especially when it's on sale and freeze it. That way I always have fruit on hand and don't have to use ice. If you are using bananas cut them about 1" pieces. Also, make sure you peel the bananas before you freeze them (ask me how I know :lol: )

I was able to get it peeled & sliced ,added frozen strawberries,milk & vanilla & whirled it around.Made way too much & it needed to be sweeter.Not bad tho for 1st time.I froze what was left....to add to next one,or DH will eat it as ice cream.Next time.I'll peel the banana 1st LOL

I use orange juice and yogurt in my smoothies and drink in the morning.
My favorite is pina colada yogurt, orange juice, pineapple, and a banana...very good. |
I have one but havent made any smoothies...mostly used to make MARGARITA's ....

I have 2 frozen bananas in the freezer not peeled and now am afraid to tackle them LOL. Any suggestions on how to go about peeling them? Take care.

I start with a banana, add vanilla yogurt, frozen fruit (blackberries, raspberries, peaches, strawberries) orange juice and perhaps milk if we have some that needs using. Love it when we have all the different kinds of fruit but often use less variety - always good! Enjoy
