Smoothies are the juice of life, and as a college student who has limited kitchen space, little to no time, and hardly any kitchen utensils, they are a life saver. Not to mention, they're delicious. As my younger sister and I like to yell across the house, in imitation of one addicting online game, "Let's get ready for some SMOOOOOOTHIE MOOOOOOVES!" Get your creative juices flowing, and try the game for yourself here. We'll be trying out all sorts of yummy, funky, and crazy flavor combinations, so we'd better get ready for some smoothie moves, indeed.
Before we begin with the odd (and fun) flavors, let's start with a classic and one of my favorites: Strawberry Banana. It doesn't get any simpler or more delicious than that. The beautiful thing about smoothies is that you can always be creative with the balance of ingredients, thickness, flavor, etc. So feel free to improvise as needed, and have fun with it! Obviously, you'll want to throw a banana and several strawberries to your blender, along with your desired amounts of milk, yogurt, ice, and whatever other sort of supplements you wish. I sometimes add a little protein powder, for example. If you'd like to spice it up, you can always add some honey, Nutella, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and of course, a little whipped cream on the top doesn't hurt. However, if you're looking to pursue the healthy route, the smoothie will be plenty sweet without these extra high-in-fat ingredients. Smoothies can even be delicious with only fruit and ice, if you are a purist.

Happy blending!
