Frozen fruit
Ready-frozen fruit is fantastic if something you want is out of season. Either defrost them when making juices or use them frozen for making smoothies.

Dried fruits
Dried fruits are great in smoothies and some milkshakes, but make certain they're not too dry. If they're, soak them in some water, juice or alcohol for a couple of minutes prior to making use of.

Canned fruit
As with frozen fruit, some canned fruits are great as an alternative to costly fruits like lychees or out-of-season fruits like apricots, although the real thing will constantly make the best drinks.

Bottled juices
For those of you with small time, it's a great cheat to have a bottle of freshly squeezed orange or apple juice within the fridge.

Yogurt
Greek yogurt is the mildest and creamiest of all the yogurts and l feel it makes the very best smoothie, but flavor is really a matter of taste, so use whichever yogurt you like greatest. Vegans can use non-dairy yogurt and enjoy any of the recipes in this book.

Ice cream and frozen yogurt
A simple vanilla ice cream or plain frozen yogurt is a wonderful base for most milkshakes or frozen smoothies, but do play around with a few of the wonderful flavors you can get nowadays, like ginger and white chocolate, to make some actually exciting drinks. Soya ice cream and frozen yogurt are widely offered, meaning that those that steer clear of dairy products can still enjoy a thick and creamy smoothie.

Ice
