Hey all!  I've been running my blender ragged lately, whipping up lots of fruit smoothies. Mainly because DD doesn't like veggies, so at least she is getting some Vit. C and other good things with these. Plus, I make frozen pops and they really cut my sugar cravings.

  But, fall is coming, and I'd love to make some other types of smoothies.   Does anyone have any pumpkin smoothie recipes that are tried and true? DD has drunk one that I made and liked it. So I'm hoping to try a few more.  Maybe even mocha?   She's liked the ones I've made so far. I've even added baby food to hers! Sweet potatoes, and apple mango, things like that. Anything to get some veggies into her.

  So, please share any smoothie recipes you have!  Summery, wintery, whatever!  THey don't all have to be figure friendly.  I add lowfat yogurt to mine, but a few with ice cream or some desserty types are fine for me too!

Frozen banana lattes: (DH and I looooove these)

measurements are approximate, since I don't have the recipe in front of me:

2 ripe bananas, frozen

1-2 Tbs instant coffee granules

2-3 scoops of frozen vanilla yogurt (we use sugar-free ice cream)

~1/3 cup of SILKEN tofu

~1 c. vanilla soy milk (or cow milk)

Blend up and enjoy!

(I might be off on the amount of milk-- basically, add enough to blend and get the desired consistency...)

Thanks, Jenny! It sounds yummy!

Here's my favorite breakfast smoothie. Sorry the amounts aren't very accurate. I just throw things into the blender. A lot of it depends on if I'm sharing it or not. :) That pumpkin smoothie sounds GOOD! I'll have to try that soon.

1 banana

a few frozen strawberries (not too many - five tops)

milk powder

plain yogurt

1 or 2 scoops protein powder

Wow, only 3 recipes!?!?!? I was hoping to see more!

 My blender broke!!!  :(    How can this be?   I got one more smoothie out of it this weekend! Banana peach smoothie pops for DD.   But then it died, and there's a big crack in the bottom!  Guess I'll be asking Santa for a new blender for Christmas! But keep sending those smoothie recipes!!!

Yummy, Pumpkin! And pumpkin is a great way to get fiber. I made smoothies all summer from someone talking about them on one of the other forums. I freeze the fruit to not use any ice. If you don't want to use sugar or nasty, bad for you artificial sweeteners use some Stevia to sweeten your smoothie if it's not sweet enough for you. Or even some Agave. I'm diabetic so I use no sugar or artificial  sweeteners.

Anyone know where I can get the popsicle holders shaped oval or round? I bought some at bed bath and beyond and they're star shaped, our mouths are not star shaped and it's awkward to use them,
