@hopeful33250 I like to use apple juice as the base and then add whatever frozen fruit I’m in the mood for. Mixed berry or peach are two of my favorites. A little vanilla soy milk and banana for creaminess. Grocery stores have frozen fruit blends just for smoothies now to. We can always add a little protein powder for extra nutrition too.

I have also found fruit juice to be a good base for smoothies. For me, milk products are not gut-friendly, but cranberry juice provides some liquid, and adding fruits like half a banana. A couple of strawberries and a slice of pineapple are great. I also use a protein powder (pea-based protein powder, rather than whey-based), which helps.

All of these suggestions are great. I'm learning a lot.
