I need a simple smoothie..
 

Basically, I just need a really simple and quick recipe for a smoothie.

Ingredients that I have to work with:

-Frozen Strawberries, Blackberry's, Raspberry's.
-Ice
-Frozen Yogurt
-Other misc. kitchen stuff

I'm basically just trying to figure out how much of each I should use to create a smoothie like what you get a smoothie stand. Thus far, mine are drinkable, but not nearly as good.

Any tips/tricks you can give would be great.

Oh, and its for 1 person, figure a 16oz or so smoothie is the target.

Thanks :)

A simple trick that you can do in finding a recipe, or simply trying to figure out what you are going to cook is to make use of Google. Plug in the ingredients on hand and see what it comes up with. I imagine you could substitute the frozen yogurt for the regular yogurt it calls for.These came up and sound rather simple:

I generally throw whatever fruit I have on hand into the blender with sherbet(raspberry or rainbow) often I will add a little bit of apple juice, ice I will often skip on.

my fav is

1 x banana
1 tray of ice
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
a handful of walnuts

One of my friends in Montreal has a sort of affinity for producing and sharing all of her favorite recipes, with simple instructions and a "finished photo" to illustrate.

Mine isn't as simple but here you go:

1 banana
1/2 cup uncooked rolled or steel cut oatmeal
2 cups ice with skim milk 3/4 the way up the the ice in the container you use for the ice
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 big scoops plain malted milk powder
2 tbsp real maple syrup
scoop ON vanilla ice cream protein powder

If I have one of those in the morning I'm good for hours.

Most smoothie places also put a soy base, soymilk, or soy/whey protein into their smoothies. You can approximate the soy base by adding silken tofu to your smoothie. I prefer whey protein over soy protein in my smoothie, though it makes it fluffier.

You can also use rice milk, almond milk, goat milk and even hemp milk for variations. I don't do well with soy protein or milk. Goat is great if you are lactose intolerant but want a milk that tastes more like milk. I personally use only organic.

I've been making this lately as a bodybuilding shake, but it would be generally good for a breakfast smoothie:

1 cup soy milk
1 cup frozen berries
1 banana
1 scoop protein powder
1 tsp glutamine (optional)
2 heaping tablespoons oat bran
1 teaspoon ground flax seed
