How do you make a fruit smoothie from scratch?
My daughter wanted me to buy smoothie mix, but that is incredibly expensive. Is there a way to make a smoothie, without buying smoothie mix (so that it tastes similar to what people buy in those mall kiosks)?

I use this version. Just omit the vodka.
1 banana
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup frozen cherries
4 ice cubes
1/2 cup orange juice
3/4 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 teaspoon honey
3/4 cup vodka.
Mix in blender
Here are several recipes you can do at home that I pulled from youtube. Ditch those mixes… they are full of sugar… so are homemade ones, but it’s sugar from fruit…. the good kind :)

FRUIT SMOOTHIE
About 1 cup of juice (apple, or apricot nectar, or what you think might be good)
1/2 banana
A few pieces of any other fruit ie. strawberry, peaches, etc.
Put all these ingredients in blender at HIGH speed until blended. Add ice if you like while blending.
This will make about 2 cups of smoothie. Experiment and have fun.
Grape juice with strawberries would be a good combination that your daughter will probably like.
