Looking on youtube they look quite easy and tasty, but do they taste like $hit, or quite nice.
Is it a fad, or a sensible drink.

I make them a lot for my son as a way of getting fruit in him. Normally a banana some soya milk, oats, honey, peanut butter or whatever is in the fruit bowl or fridge.

Are they healthy. A quick google gives mixed opinions (typical of the internet).

My wife and children have them for breakfast: Bananas, kiwis, respberries, juice (apple or orange). Very healthy.

Personally I think they have the consistency of vomit, but that is just me ...

We had the smoothie fad a few years ago, bought the machine and bags of fruit, some of them tasted nice but some were rank, tbh i thought it was cheaper to buy them ready made.

thts what i thought tbh

SiPie

I've always had one every day as recommended (for me anyway) by a nutritionist

1 kiwi fruit
Handful strawberries
Handful blueberries
Raspberries
1/2 Banana
2 spoonfuls porridge oats
Spoonful sunflower seeds
Spoonful linseeds
Spoonful pumpkin seeds
3 scoops ultra meal whey protein
Apple and elderflower juice
Filtered water

It all makes about a pint


....and off to work on me bike

When i get to work I have my 2nd breakfast, porridge

Any smoothie tastes good....so long as you mix in the following ingredients....

1 part golden rum
1 part dark rum
1 part apricot brandy
½ part 151-proof rum
and a Dash of grenadine or other syrup

we usually get a carton of Asdas own brand smoothie, testes just the same as Innocent's but at fraction of the price, think Asda usually have them for a £1 a carton

Check the sugar content carefully

Gets them out the way early on the day
