Once you have your base, you can literally throw in anything you have in your kitchen. Fruit (bananas, berries, apple) veggies (spinach, cucumbers, celery), canned pumpkin, almonds, oats, flax, spices, you name it! I buy a lot of fruit when it's on sale and freeze it. Frozen fruit will make your shakes thick and smooth, especially frozen bananas. I always have these in my ice box. I even freeze the canned pumpkin, greek yogurt, coffee and other stuff in ice trays so they make the shakes cold and frothy.
