"I've been drinking these every day for the past week and I thought I'd share it with everyone. I'm addicted to my immersion blender and I hope you enjoy the latest concoction. It's like a caramel apple without the stick, or the sticky!"

"I found this originally at epicurious.com. I love it, though, because I always have soy milk, bananas, and honey around. I think freezing the bananas in advance makes this really creamy. (Prep time is probably the minimum amount of time it would take to freeze bananas?? Mine always stay in the freezer overnight. 5 hours is just a guess)."

Ingredients: soymilk lite, honey, ice cubes...

"A great way to start the day or you could make it as an afternoon snack for an energy boost. This has it all: potassium from the banana, antioxidants from the blueberries, Vitamin A from the peaches, calcium from the yogurt and milk, and Omega-3s from the flax seed. Plus, you can make this all year long. If you want to make this a meal replacement,..."

"This recipe tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass! You will never know it is packed with veggies and fruits and "good for you stuff". Top with a little fat free whip cream for an extra-special desert. My teen-age daughter begs for this and sometimes we even heat it up for a thick soup. The key to this recipe is to make sure you use a blender/smoothie..."

"Next summer when the weather gets too hot, I'm going to cool down with this! In the meantime I'm posting it here for safekeeping...I found it in the April May 2007 issue of Taste of Home magazine...UPDATE: I've since opted for a healthier approach to this recipe which includes the use of fat-free yogurt, 1% milk and removing the sugar entirely...."

"A protein-packed vitamin C punch in the face! I got the idea for this smoothie when I was trying to use the leftovers I had from a strawberry, honey, and egg white face mask. I googled the ingredients and came up with an orange julius recipe. I already had the strawberries and egg white in it so I figured adding some oranges, ice, and vanilla extract..."
