    We have just been given a really posh juicer.
    Anyone got any ideas of nice mixes we could try.
    I havn't used it yet as the person who gave it to me said.
    Everything they made tasted awful and had to throw away. :eek: :D

    Is this a juicer or a smoothie maker Lyn. Juicers simply extract juice from fruit so it's difficult to make it taste awful. Smoothie makers are like glorified blenders and I have the t-shirt in making awful smoothies so just make cocktails in it now. Vive le frozen daquiri a la sarra?

    1 measure of Bacardi. 1 measure of lime juice, if cordial use a good one like Rose's, half measure of orange liqueur (Cointreau or similar) a teaspoon of caster sugar, 1 cup ice. Blend until smooth and sod the smoothies. :D

    Thanks for the info.
    I had a rumage in the freezer and found some tropical fruit.
    So I made my first smoothy.
    And very nice it was to.
    I was suprised how filling it was.
    Tropical fruit
    Half a banana
    pineapple juice and ice cubes.

    I will be making some more of these from the recipes you have posted.
    They will be lovely in the summer.
    Thank you
