How odd, I don't think I have any aversions to certain textures. Not something I'd ever considered before.

Blueberries always add a nice dark richness to a smoothie, and banana for thickness. Kiwi gives a bit of zing as well.

I make banana, soya milk and a teaspoon of cocoa smoothies. My kids love them and far better than chemical milkshakes.

Also strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry and apple.

If things need thinning I add a bit of orange/apple juice and if they need thickening I add a banana.

Basically I just like raiding the fruit bowl and making things up.

Agreed - blueberries rock!

I've never heard of the textures phobia/aversion before - how peculiar!! I guess there is pretty much an aversion to nearly everything it seems!

Roberta - soya milk?! Yech! Why ruin a smoothy/milkshake with that?!!

It was a rhetorical question m'dear

My sis does them with soya milk as she's lactose intolerant - horrid stuff if you ask me, far too many female hormones for a start!

Smoothies are about the only thing I have for breakfast. My usual is 1 banana, 100ml orange juice, squirt of honey, natural yogurt & whatever berries I have available - blueberries are by far my favourite.

I have to admit beans and root stuffs are good... I've just don't like the taste - probably because my mind's telling me it's milk, but obviously I'm not tasting milk!

Never mind, boobies wouldn't suit you anyway.
