Think about adding whey protein... this is really a good way
to get aminos, and improve lean muscle mass (which we tend to lose with age). You can also sneak in Flax oil liquid and you won't taste it. It is a good way to get omega-3s.

One thing I added to smoothies, was a Sorbet for flavor.
Some of the upscale sorbets are really really good.
Pineapple juice and coconut milk (sold for mixing drinks--comes in a can--) are really good too. I use vanilla yogurt most of the time.

I haven't made these in a while... I should get back into it!
We did them alot when my son was home--experimenting was alot of fun. You can do fresh or frozen fruit of your choice.
