I always put yogurt in mine, milk works, but kind of dulls the flavour a little and makes it very runny.

Meant to say, try a little water, but only a little at a time.

My 1st reply:

Frisco If it's a little thick I put in some apple/orange juice the one that says not from concentrate or you could squeeze a couple of oranges.Water is fine but will dilute the flavour.
Different fruits have different amounts of water in so just experiment.
ENJOY !!

Perhaps a little orange juice. I use mainly yogurt as I like a creamy smoothie.

It's really trial and error, you never make the same twice

Sometimes a couple of ice cubes, nice and cool for summer.

thnaks for that but i really don't want anything but fruit and even the cartons of juice have added sugar that's why i was thinking water or even fresh orange (but that does not always mix well with other things

I can't eat dairy but found that thinning with ice cubes worked well for me,
I'd generally be sure to use fruit that's very juicy and often use it frozen in the blender.

The banana is the part that thickens it. Try putting in more kiwi and less banana. I too use apple juice and I also use low fat greek yogurt which is fabulous. Some crushed ice will alter the temperature obviously but it will serve as fluid also.

i always add orange or pineapple juice to mine, adds liquid without diluting the flavour - also can work towards 5 a day.

bannana and kiwi one of my favorites

we use apple or orange juice to thin our smoothies..just add a tiny bit and if that isnt enough add more to suit

I use yogurt or juice depending on what fruit I have (and how much yogurt there is in the fridge!):rolleyes:

I made one last night with banana and strawberries (from the freezer) and had no juice or anything to thin it down a bit so added half a tin of coconut milk and it was absolutely delicious! Thick, slushy, cold and creamy! :drool:
