Posted Earlier . . . 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 bananas can be frozen, just peel and stick in a bag.
Update . . . I have recently found that rather than have all of my fruit in seperate bags and needing to open a bunch of them and then seal them and then put the all bag in an organized way in the freezer . . (whew, it's extra work just to type it) . . . that I can put a variety of fruits in one freezer container and then pull out only one container to make smoothies. It is saving me alot of baggy mess in the freezer and is causing alot less frost on the fruit from all of the opening and closing of the bags and extra time with the freezer door open trying to organize.
As you can see from the picture, I need another container as I still have some fruit in bags but you can also see the organizational difference between the bags and container.

The fruit looks really yummy. I know eating it straight that way would probably not taste the way my mouth it expecting it to taste though. I think I need to eat some fruit.
Thanks for the pictures. I am such a visual person that It's helpful to see what I'm supposed to do.
You are so smart and full of good ideas. I need to start all this because I love smoothies. So why can't I make them at home for myself instead of paying $5 at Coldstone for 12 oz. Yum, Yum, Yum.
