Okay, I realize creamy and blackberry don’t usually go together but that is what smoothieweb.com is all about, mixing flavors and textures that don’t always come to mind. This blackberry smoothie is worth the risk. Let me know how you like it.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of vanilla ice cream (a good start, yes?)
- 1 1/2 cups of frozen blackberries
- 1/2 cup of strawberries
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp lime juice (for a tart kick)
- dollop of whipped cream
Blend until you can’t wait and then add the whipped cream.

While this is a great smoothie for the Fall or over Thanksgiving, it is also a great smoothie any time of the year. I won’t lie though it makes a great Thanksgiving Day treat either before or after your large turkey dinner, plus it will most likely be the healthiest thing you put in your body that day.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of canned pumpkin
- 1 cup apricot
- 1 tbs sugar
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
- 1 pinch of nutmeg
- 1 cup of ice
Blend until creamy. Depending on your sweet tooth you may wish to add another tablespoon of sugar.

Tropical Fruit Smoothie
Thank you to Sonny Martin for this delicious smoothie recipe. Inviting too many fruits to the smoothie party can sometimes be a problem, but this mix of fruits works very well. Don’t leave out the coconut cream, it really changes the flavor.
- ½ can pineapple in its own juice, including juice
- 1 cup of Papaya, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 1 mango, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and broken into chunks
- 2-3 tablespoons coconut cream (not milk)
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 1½ cup plain yogurt (we prefer Mountain High brand)
- 1 to 1 ½ cup crushed ice
Blend all ingredients, except ice, in blender first set at medium and then at high. When smooth continue blending while pouring in 1 to 1½ cups crushed ice. Serves 4 to 6.
