These are great. I get stuck using the same ingredients in smoothies and its lack luster. I'll give these a try!

I like the recipes but I do have to point out that smoothies are not the same as juices.

I hope that made you feel important? FYI they came from a smoothie recipe book, derp.

Eh?

Blended apples are not the same as juiced apples, nutritionally. I just think it's important to clarify the difference between blending a whole food versus extracting the juice from a whole food. I still think the recipes look great.

These look good, I've also been stuck using the same ingredients. The extent of my fruit for smoothies is banana and some different berries.

I've got a lot of squash kicking around - this might be a good way to use it up.
