Lychees sound like a massive pain to grow (two years as a seedling before producing fruit? wow).

What do they taste like?

god that sounds wonderful

lychees taste like peeled grapes w/heavier nectar and a more rounded sweetness, they're magnificent

Thousands upon thousands of innocent children in lost their limbs in Sierra Leone so you people could have your lychees. Pour a little smoothie out next time.

Makes it taste sweeter...

Our daily smoothie:

A combination of banana, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla milk, yoghurt etc etc.

What are we talking here - just lychees and nothing else?

To be honest, I think the UK has adopted the word 'smoothie' in recent years without any real concept of what it is. How is it different from 'juice'?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 5 April 2004 10:49 (twenty-two years ago)

A smoothie contains the whole fruit rather than just the juice it has a thicker consistancy, a smoothie may also contain yoghurt.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Monday, 5 April 2004 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

The word is really starting to get on my nerves. Can you all stop using it, please?

one year passes...

Anyone recommend a recipe for a lychee smoothie?

This is the only one I could find on-line, and I usually make smoothies with fruit juice.

"As many lychees as you have on hand
Crushed ice
Sugar to taste

Peel the lychees and remove the seeds. Remove the brown spots also if you want to. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.

Combine with about equal parts of ice and mix thoroughly in a blender or food processor, pour into tall glasses (add a mint sprig if you like) and serve."

I wanna have a smoothie machine. Does it even exist?

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Saturday, 31 December 2005 12:27 (twenty years ago)

Aren't they called blenders?

― stevo (stevo), Saturday, 31 December 2005 13:46 (twenty years ago)

Oh of course. Duh.
