These are so yummy! I have been on a sincere smoothie kick for two months now. And by jumpstarting my day with fruits and veggies, I seem to make better food choices all day long. And, have I mentioned how tasty these are?! YUM.
On a side note, the yogurt is not a necessary ingredient for any of these smoothies. I prefer a creamier smoothie, so the smoothies without yogurt will just be a bit more "juice like".. and if you keep the banana, it still has a nice consistency. But of course, have fun and mix up your style!

i've never really enjoyed a smoothie for some reason (too sweet, maybe?) but nick & i have now made two of these concoctions & i've loved both of them!! especially the pear bliss.
we're eating vegetarian to train for a 1/2 marathon in 6 weeks & these recipes have given us another fun way to get all our fruits & veggies. thanks!
