It was so good, I can't believe I've never had one before. The base was vanilla yogurt and they added chocolate and peanut butter flavoring, it's called peanut butter cup (which is my weakness, my kryptonite). I had it instead of my normal half sandwich and the calories total up to 345 which isn't too bad.

so you gonna change your handle to "smoothieman" from now on?

Sometimes it is what it is...
and then there's times when it's really better.

I have one every morning. Ice, OJ, chocolate protein powder, cup o blueberries and a banana. very tasty.

Ok, I can see never having sushi, but a SMOOTHIE? Wow.

Good for you for being willing to try new things!

PS: Don't forget that smoothies are very easy to make at home. My current favorite is 1C vanilla yogurt, 1C orange juice, 1-2C of berries (I like the frozen mix of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries)

While fresh fruit will definitely give you more flavor, the frozen berries are easy to find and relatively inexpensive all year long. Plus, they help give the smoothie a great texture.

I would substitute a different fruit juice. O.J. will kill you, ya know!

Add some fresh bass next time. You DO like sushi now, right?

Heh. I use the "Orenthal Free" kind.

Ok, so let's say I wanted to make this peanut butter cup smoothie at home. I have a blender. Now what? Recipe, recommended ingredients?

Sounds like you could just use a cup of vanilla yogurt and some Reese's peanut butter cups . . . good to go. Maybe some ice to give it a little boost in texture . . .

Fermentation may have been a greater discovery than fire.

Yogurt (vanilla rather than plain), some milk, a couple TBSP of Peanut butter, a few TSPs of cocoa powder and a banana would be my starting point....

Experiment!

"A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans."

Is this some sort of slang term for a young woman who..... never mind.....

enjoy your birthday........

Mmm, smoothies!! The Ben and Jerry's store here makes some great ones. I like the mango tango. Better yet, they have a card that gives you a free one after you buy 5. Dude, I got brain freeze!

Just don't order this, 2310 calories! More than a daily recommended requirement!

Yeah, I can't believe that is your first smoothie - but you've had a milkshake or a frappe before, right?

A quick breakfast for me is yogurt (plain but sometimes I use the Banilla from my kids' stash or if I'm making one for them), frozen blueberries, a banana and (for me only) a dash of protein powder.

If you can get a good powdered (instant) coffee (like Elite), make your own frappucino with the coffee, milk and ice. Adjust fat and calorie content as desired.

Hurts like a bastid...

I've had milkshakes before but not a frappe. Thanks for all the posts!
