Im into Smoothies at the moment as they are little more nicer than straight juicing and better than having the normal fry up for breakfast. Ocean Spray sent me some great recipes that I am loving at the moment:

225ml (8 fl oz) Ocean Spray® Chilled Cranberry Original juice drink
12-15 raspberries, fresh or frozen
4 medium strawberries, hulls removed and cut into halves
1/2 cup crushed ice
Method
- Put all ingredients, except garnish, into a blender.
- Blend for a few seconds on high speed or until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
