Alex, if you freeze the fruit you can skip out on putting in the ice cubes. They just dilute the whole smoothie. My breakfast smoothie is usually: 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup frozen blackberries, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, 1 fresh banana, 1/2 cup acai juice, 1/2 cup milk, 1 strawberry/banana yoplait light.

This makes two huge glasses, so you might want to cut the quantities in half. Also, you may need to let the fruit thaw a little bit before trying to blend it. Using a mix of both frozen and fresh fruit works the best. Drinking this smoothie gives me the biggest energy boost of any food I've ever tried. Honestly the first time I tried it, it reminded me of the first time I ever drank coffee.
