Ours is primarily kefir, 100% cranberry/pomegranate juice, a splash of soy milk and plain Greek yogurt. I'll like to start reducing the amount of juice we use. However, DH doesn't like his smoothies too creamy and it bothers his stomach so we can't really add too much milk. I know coconut water is a popular one but that gets $$$! I'd rather not do just water.
What's the liquid components of your smoothies?

I do only water.
DH likes oj + water.
They both taste the same to me

Almond milk, coconut milk, pineapple juice, oj, and coconut water. One alone or a mix. Most of the time just almond milk.

I alternate between almond milk, coconut milk, coconut water, and plain water.
I make my almond milk and coconut milk at home so it's cheaper!

When you use banana, you need need as much liquid. My fave smoothies are 2-4oz yogurt, 1 banana, 3-4 frozen strawberries, (chia, pb). Not liquid needed!

I make mine with lemons and oranges and a bit of water + ice. The juice from the lemons and oranges gives enough juice to blend it all up. I have a strong blender though - a blendtec.

@Mrs. High Heels: @Mrs Green Grass: that's a good point. Our Cusinart is on the way out so we're in the market for a better blender.

Apple cider / apple juice or almond milk. I've done just water too but I feel like then my smoothies are lacking!

Usually milk. I never thought of doing water and we don't keep juice in the house.
