Smoothies
Blending a smoothie
Smoothies are great - all you need is a bunch of fruit and a blender. Sometimes you also need a bit of juice to get things moving - so a juicer would also be good.
It's pretty difficult to go wrong, but some smoothies are definitely better than others.

Cucumber, Apple, Lemon Juice Smoothie

Peel the cucumber, peel and and core the apple.
Chop them up and blend them with a little lemon juice.
This one is nice and refreshing. A good smoothie to start with.

Mango, Raspberry, Cranberry Smoothie
drink veg
Slice down each side of the mango stone and cut away the flesh from the skin. put the flesh in a blender, add the raspberries and cranberry juice and blend until smooth. Taste and add the honey to sweeten, if necessary.
Not a big cranberry fan myself - I don't like the way it makes my teeth feel like they're wearing little socks.

Doughnut Smoothie
drink veg
One smoothie party at the Haunted House we invented this drink in a fit of desperation. We'd pretty much smoothied everything else around.

A yum-yum smoothie Blending a yum-yum smoothie
Chuck two doughnuts into the blender add enough milk and cream if you like to lubricate, three or four tablespoons of ice cream or creamed rice a can of creamed rice was all we had the first time we made it.
Serve with a nice sprinkling of cinnamon powder.
Yumsk.
This is definitely the best smoothie. Ever. Even if not everyone agrees.
You probably want to keep it for dessert though.

Avocado Chocolate Smoothy
drink veg
As suggested by my occasional flatmate Andy.

Blend 'em up.
Drink 'em down.
Andy says the avocado makes this really creamy - haven't tried it yet, but I like the idea. I might be tempted to add a touch of chilli...
