Does anyone know of any recipes to make using the magic bullet blender?

No, unfortunately I did not get the recipe booklet in mine. All I’ve really made from mine so far are coffee drinks, and chicken salad. Thanks for the site.

you can cut up some fresh fruit and add ice along with some vanilla yogurt and there ya have a fresh smoothie! and healthy too!

We don’t have strawberries or blueberries grown here in Trinidad. If we have to buy them they are VERY expensive. Any tropical fruits you can recommend that kids would like?

What do you have cheap access to? This may be an easier way of helping you :)

Pineapples, mangoes when they in season, all types of citrus, banana plums, we get imported grapes, apples and pears at reasonable prices

No problem, I hope it helped. :] Sorry I couldn’t give you more.

really, any of those can be mixed and matched to make a smoothie. also, for you adults, you can add liquor to them to make different fruity cocktails :)

I love smoothies! Of the fruits you mention, mangos are great for smoothies (all their fiber makes it very thick, so you need to thin it out with something); pineapples, too, if they’re ripe enough. Citrus doesn’t work so well to blend in, but you can squeeze the juice out to add. (Be cautious about using the more acidic ones, like lemons or limes, a dairy product that might curdle.) I’m not familiar with banana plums, but plums work fine and bananas are excellent. Cantaloupes and papayas are very good, too, if you have those. Apples not so great; pears are ok. Think of it like this: The easier the fruit is to mash to a paste with a fork, the better it works in a smoothie.

I like to put the fruit in with either plain non-fat yoghurt or buttermilk, often some unfrozen orange juice concentrate, sometimes some peanut butter. If I’m using yoghurt, I usually add some juice (my usual favorite is carrot) or water to thin it out; with buttermilk, that’s not necessary. Sweet spices are good too, whichever ones you like - nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, cardamon, etc. Sometimes I use a small amount of agave syrup or honey to sweeten.

You can make nutritious, delicious smoothies out of them. You can also make salsa, guacamole, and cheese sauces.
