Substitute any fruit that you like for those listed--You can change it up every time. You can also substitute fruit juice for the milk; I like the creaminess the milk provides.
Also, use frozen fruit whenever possible. You will need no ice if you do that, & the flavors will be more intense.

MIXED FRUIT SMOOTHIE
1/2 cup cantaloupe, chopped
4 medium strawberries
1/4 cup blueberries
1/2 cup skim milk (approximate)
1/2 tsp vanilla
Ice, as needed

Place fruit, milk & vanilla in blender. Blend on high just till combined. Add ice to freeze & thicken. If you are using frozen fruit, add only as much milk as necessary to keep mixture frozen & thick. You may need more or less milk.

I guess it's not really pumpkin-eating season, but I love this smoothie. I should warn you that I'm the only one in my family who likes it! It's very pumpkin-y!

1/2 can pumpkin puree
1/2 small banana (preferably frozen)
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Place first 5 ingredients in blender. Blend on high briefly to combine. Add as much ice as necessary to freeze & thicken & blend on high again until smooth.
