A hint for always having fruit on hand for smoothies is to buy it at Sam's Club/Costco in bulk and freeze it. This is especially great for strawberries, pineapple and kiwi. Just peel the kiwi and pineapple and slice them in about 1/2 inch slices, place in large freezer bag and they will be great to toss in for smoothies. Even banana can be frozen, just peel and stick in a bag.
Here is one of our favorite smoothies.
1 (4-5 frozen slices) kiwi
1/2 banana
1 cup (5-6) frozen strawberries
1 cup (1 sliced ring) fresh pineapple
1 cup water
1 cup ice cubes
*If your fruit is frozen you can omit the ice cubes
*These measurements are flexible (since it is hard to measure a frozen pineapple round) and it works well to just use this combination.

That sounds really good. I love smoothies but I haven't been able to figure out the no ice cream thing. I also want one when I don't have fresh fruit on hand - I never thought about freezing it.
