This simple method that I call my Smoothie System has helped me create all kinds of delicious, cool, and creamy smoothies with no need for a recipe or measuring. You can create your own flavor combinations or use the system to easily adapt other smoothie recipes. This system uses the visual strategy of creating three layers in your blending container.

Ingredients:
1stLayer:Use fresh fruit
2ndLayer:Use frozen fruit
3rdLayer:Use fresh fruit (or greens)
Almond Milk (or other liquid or your choice)
Instructions:
Choose your blending container (I almost always use my Magic Bullet).
Fill the container about one third of the way with fresh fruit to create your first layer.
Add frozen fruit to make a second layer which will now fill your container about two thirds of the way.
Add a final third layer of fresh fruit to just about fill your blending container.
Add almond milk (or other liquid of your choice) until the liquid rises to about one third to half way up the blending container.
Blend for about 20 seconds or until ingredients are well mixed together.
Notes:
Note: If adding other flavorings (such as spices, peanut butter, etc.), I usually add them between the 2nd and 3rd layers.
