I used to work for Smoothie King and I've gotta say we used to put banannas in practically every smoothie we made (to make it creamier I guess). I've recently been experimenting with canned fruit (mostly pineapple) and frozen fruit like strawberries or blueberries. My favourite at the moment has to be the half can of pineapple a few frozen strawberries and a bit of orange juice to make it mixable add some cane sugar and soy protien and you're rockin'. I found out a while ago that if you want to make your smoothie without alot of ice you should break up some ripe banannas, freeze them for a day or two (or longer) and throw them in the smoothie like ice. Like I said before, you can add banannas to practically anything and it'll taste allright. Oh, and if a smoothie mix is tastin' bland you should throw a squirt of lemon juice (not lime, too bitter) and it'll jazz things up.
