Here’s a recipe I just found for a yogurt smoothie. It says any soft fruit can be used in place of the banana. All I have on hand is some canteloupe and a few apples. I know the apples won’t work in this recipe cuz they’re too hard, but has anyone ever used canteloupe in a smoothie? Would canteloupe be good in this recipe? Here’s the recipe:
There are almost unlimited possibilities for maple smoothies. The author has used bananas here, but soft berries in season are also terrific; any soft fruit will work. Let your imagination guide you, bearing in mind the proportions of yogurt to maple and fruit.

I have a KitchenAid blender, so it’s good quality. I won’t need to puree any meats, so veggies and fruits only. I do want them to be pretty smooth though. Thanks so much!
