we go to Kroger and buy the bags of Smoothie fruit. Theres a recipe on the back but we dont follow it completely.

we use:
1/2 the bag of fruit
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup OJ
1/2 gall ice cream- im not joking, we make it more of a shake consistancy than smoothie.

blend and drink. I did hear on Alton Brown's "Good Eats" you can add powdered sugar (i forget how much though ) to a smoothie and it makes it creamy and whippie.
