Orange juice and passion fruit are a delicious mix in my books. I assume you could 'smoothify' such a mix.

Chocolate Cherry Almond Smoothie
3/4 cup vanilla-flavored almond milk
1 cup frozen cherries
1 Tbsp cocoa
2 Tbsp ground almonds
1 scoop plant-based protein powder
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
1 Tbsp ground sunflower and/or pumpkin seeds

A Little Bit of Everything Juice
1 stalk celery
1 small handful parsley or spinach or other greens
1/4 green bell pepper
1" chunk of parsnip
1/4 large beet (or 1/2 small beet)
1 small apple
fill the rest of a 12-oz glass with carrots

Oranges & pineapple is my favorite fruit juice. Sooooo delicious!

My recipe just kindof evolved,,,,

Cup of water
heaping tablespoon of coconut oil
tablespoon of ground flaxseed
1 banana
handful of frozen cherries (about 8)
handful of frozen strawberries (about 5)
half a handful frozen blueberries
3 or 4 frozen peach slices
3 or 4 ice cubes

if I have other fresh fruit I add a few grapes or a slice of pineapple

btw if my bananas are getting too ripe on the counter I peel them, break them in half, freeze them on a cookie sheet, then pack them in a freezer bag (these totally mess up the consistency I like tho then I don't do ice)

YUM,,, now I need to go make one

but I do have a smoothie for lunch every workday. It's usually something from fruit (banana, pineapple, berries), and some kind of vegetable (celery, spinach, kale, winter squash), a protein (protein powder or nut butter), ground flax seed, and nonmilk-milk like almond or coconut milk or juice. And ideally, something to give it body, so either the banana or winter squash, or avocado, or yogurt.

and vodka. Garnished with orange slices and mint.



LOL, it's good.

Day to day I like mixed berries juiced with a big glob of vanilla yogurt thinned to taste with a fruit juice. Or I'll go with bananas, vanilla yogurt and a chocolate protein drink. Cinnamon is always on top.
