Basic breakfast smoothie recipes

This basic smoothie recipe is a perfect formula for all different kinds of smoothies, including fruit smoothies, vegetable smoothies, or a combination of the two. Use this recipe ratio as a jumping off point to make all kinds of smoothies.  I also like to make smoothie kits for my freezer.  Put all the contents, except the liquid and/or yoghurt, for one smoothie in individual zip-top bags, so when you want to make a smoothie all you need to do is add the liquid and/or yoghurt.  Using frozen fruit or vegetables will eliminate the need for ice which will lead to an overall better textured smoothie.

• 1-1½ cups liquid
