    Where do you go for your smoothies? Smoothie King? Jamba Juice? Or where? (would be a third option, but can't think of any other place at the moment...:) )

    Also, does anyone have any good smoothie recipes I can make at home with my new blender?

    Smoothies? Too much coffee or spicy food gives me the smoothies, but I’m thinkin’ that’s not what you’re talking about. ;)

    I go to my own blender. The commercial ones are waaaay expensive. (Like you could get one in this town anyway.)

    Don't drink too many of them, though; just don't get around too it. Usually I just throw some orange juice, a banana, and various frozen fruit in there, in proportions that look good. Bananas never keep long enough for me to get around to making a smoothie, though, so I decided to quit wasting $$ on bananas. Therefore, I couldn't make one now without going to the store. Smoothies are OK, but I never understood the big deal about them...

    anyway, since isabel is giving recipes, i use frozen blueberries and frozen strawberries, after defrosting them in the microwave, i throw in a banana, some milk and a few spoons of sugar.

    my other one is milk, crushed ice, hershey syrup, mocha frapp mix. if i had whipped cream it would be a starbucks mocha frapp but not costing 5 bucks. i throw in some kaluha or baileys on the weekends.

    my third is salsa, dead fish, squirrel, urine, mustard and mayonnaise, but i only serve that to the guests when they get really drunk.

    Usually I go to the Smoothie King on campus here at UH.

    However, the only smoothie there worth a damn is Angel Food.

    I remember when I was living at Jester at UT, they had a smoothie shop down stairs, man it was WAY too convinient. I remember going through my 2 semester mean plan in one semester. Needless to say my parents were very un happy with that.

    The best smoothie I've had is from the cookie place in the Dobie Food Court.
