To make it much healthier and taste better, leave out the ice, water, and dairy. Fresh fruit is best, but frozen bananas (peeled and put in freezer in ziploc bag) will make it smoother and more like ice cream. Use 5-6 bananas, 6-7 strawberries, 5-7 raw almonds or cashews, 1 tbs. bee pollen, 1 TBS hemp nuts, 2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice, 1 TBS cocoa (optional- raw cacao is even better) and 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach (you won't taste this). Blend well and enjoy more taste and nutrition than most people get in a whole day!

1. take (frozen) fruit of choice and place into blender after washing. Amount depends on personal taste. For an awesome strawberry banana smoothie I use 1 full banana and 5-7 strawberries. 2. if using unfrozen fruit, add ice or look forward to a watery smoothie. 3. add yogurt/milk/water as desired. Use yogurt for a silly thick smoothie. Water if lactose intolerant or watching your weight. 3. blend. tl;dr version: add fruit. Add milk, yogurt or water. Blend. herp derp a doo. (really, astounding how you can screw up instructions for something so simple.)
