So, my roomie recently got a brand new blender, and I'm about to die from fruit smoothie overdose, so I thought I would start a "liquified snacktastic recipe thread".

Anyone out there have any good blender recipes for smoothies and the like?  Alcoholic or non.

The best thing about a blender is you don't really need a recipe.  Just throw stuff in there.

If you're aiming for a healthy smoothie, use a banana or two as your "base".  If not, use ice cream or yogurt.  After that, go to town.  If you find yourself in a rut, go to a produce market, pick out a fruit you haven't tried before, and throw it in there.

As for alcoholic stuff, ice + tequila + ??? = profit.

Well, im just looking for good combinations of stuff.

Our current staple is to fill the sucker up with mixed frozen fruit (pineapple, grape, strawberry, mellon) that we get at the store in bigass bags for good prices, add juice (iced tea, orange, peach) and blend.

We tried a couple with milk, but didnt like the results (not sure if our amounts were off, or the fruits were not good combos with milk, or whatever).

Go easy on the bananas, otherwise that's all you will taste (unless that's what you want).

I've been making some occasionally of late.  I use yogurt, bananas, some other kind of fruit, a little milk, and ice.

BTW, you should buy some frozen fruit.  It's cheap and won't go bad because it will be conveniently stored in your freezer.

When making margaritas, use freshly squeezed lime juice.  It makes a world of difference.  Of course, a dedicated alcoholic doesn't give a fuck as long as they aren't weak, so YMMV.

Yoghurt, orange juice, frozen fruit, crushed ice and a banana or two. Smoothie heaven.

A dash of vodka or rum for fun in the sun.

For those of you who are lactose intolerant, try almond milk instead of soy milk. I cannot stand soy milk shakes, but almond milk shakes are surprisingly good. Favorite is banana with frozen mango chunks (available at Trader Joes).

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

6oz. Limeade
6oz. Tequila
6oz. Triple Sec

Add ice to your liking and it makes Evil Margaritas.

Too much Triple Sec, Tequila should be 2 to 1 to it.

I am in no way opposed to doubling the amount of tequila.

BBQ at a friend's this weekend. I have been sober too long, and plan to rectify that in a large way with as many Mai Tais as I can fit down my gullet.

Ingredients (cribbed from Duke's, home of the best mai tai on the planet)-

 Light rum with fresh passion, orange, guava, pineapple juice and a float of dark rum

If I am smart, I will get all the juices mixed up before we hit the party. However,  I am a procrastinating jackass, so I will probably show up with a full shopping bag. Last time I made them they were a big hit, and the end of the night is a little hazy in my memory, so it was obviously a good time.

Not blended, but still a damned fine cocktail.

Simplest delicious recipe:

1 Quart of fresh strawberries
2 Bananas
Fill with apple juice

Nothing else needed. Should make 4 tall servings in a standard size blender.

If you want add a scoop or two of vanilla frozen yogurt or icecream to thicken. Or you can add ice if want a more frozen texture.

Edit: See page 2 of attached menu for where I steal all of my ideas. Still nothing better or easier than the "classic" though.
