I find it interesting that Chuck Norris was mentioned in the article about teaching the bible in public schools. He has publicly advocated forcibly tattooing atheists. Wonder where I've heard that before....

I like strawberries on their own, so when I make a smoothie it's usually only strawberries, soymilk, and sugar. I suppose one could freeze the strawberries if one wanted it slushy.

Another interesting slushy recipe I tried once was with frozen watermelon - it was a nice drink for the summer:

Everybody likes sweet/fruity smoothies, but have you considered savory smoothies? I make one with plain yogurt, half an avocado, spinach, salt and pepper, and sometimes a tiny bit of miso paste for extra umami. It is weird the first few sips, but is a bit like a thick soup and you get used to it pretty quickly. Weirdly yummy.

I also make one out of those berry blends you buy in the frozen food aisle, plus chocolate syrup and just enough soymilk to blend properly. It's like a sorbet, but with chocolate. Delicious food that gets me closer to proper nutrition.
