Smoothies that are SMOOTH- no seeds, etc

OK, so I am the PICKIEST eater ever. I annoy myself. I am not a breakfast person and that needs to change to lose weight so I would love to start making breakfast smoothies. I have 2 issues though.

- I HATE seeds/pieces in my smoothies. so things like strawberries and blueberries freak me out although they taste delish

- I'm allergic to apples so what is another good sweet fruit to help cut the earthiness of the veggies I want to put in.

Any advice?

What about using bananas or puréed pumpkin?

What type of blender do you use? If you have a high speed blender like vitamix, no matter what you put in them, your smoothie will be smooth. I use a variety of fruit in my green smoothies but for someone who is just starting, frozen bananas are a good choice. I cut up ripe bananas into one inch pieces and put them a zip lock bag and keep them in the fridge.

I wanted to add that adding a little of fresh ginger and lemon helps cut back on the earthiness of vegetables. Pineapple and mangoes are great too. Check out the website 'simple green smoothies' for ideas.

Get a vitamix ! It makes everything super smooth.

I'd love to get a vitamix but can't spend the money right now. Hopefully in the future. I do love mango and pineapple!

Bananas help smooth everything out. Also mango and banana is so yummy.

I find kiwi masks all other favors. Even just one will overcome the flavor of the 1-2 cups of spinach o use.
