Breakfast Replacement Smoothie

Trying to get out the door in the morning and eat a good breakfast is a tough combination, so finding a good smoothie combination to help me is a good idea. Well, I like Grape Nuts cereal and I like to mix it in yogurt and eat it with lunch or for a snack. So why not blend it into a breakfast smoothie? So I did.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup grape nuts
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (low-fat)
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 banana
  • 2 cups juice (orange, apple or whatever you like. I wouldn’t mind trying pineapple in this)

Blend and feel the energy!

Purple Cow Smoothie (Grape)

January 18, 2008 · Filed Under Dessert Smoothies, Fruit Smoothies · Comment 

Sometimes it can be tough to find good grapes, especially during the winter months in Viriginia, so using grape concentrate in place of grapes is a good idea for a grape smoothie recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream (that’s the cow part)
  • 8 tbs. frozen grape juice concentrate (I like Welch’s and this is the purple part)
  • 1 cup of milk (also the cow part)
  • 1 cup of ice

Blend and enjoy.

Green Envy Avocado Smoothie

January 16, 2008 · Filed Under Dessert Smoothies, Strawberry Smoothies · 3 Comments 

I absolutely love avocadoes and adding them to a smoothie is something I never thought of before. But I’m all about trying something new and how bad could it be? Well, it was excellent and the avocado adds a creamy texture you don’t find in smoothies usually. Try this avocado smoothie and surprise it on your friends. They’ll be amazed it was made from avocado.

Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 1 cup of strawberries (preferably fresh, but frozen will do)
  • 1 cup of orange or strawberry sherbet
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 avocado, peeled and pitted

Danielle G Smoothie Recipe

The key is putting slightly more pineapples than strawberries, and because the fruit is frozen you dont need ice. Tastes great and very healthy!!

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups of Welch’s Strawberry Breeze Juice (or fill blender little less than half way full)
  • 2 1/2 hand fulls of Dole’s frozen pineapples
  • 1 1/2 to 2 hand fulls of Dole’s frozen whole strawberries
  • 3 squirts of clover honey

Preparation:
Mix in blender on high for a few seconds. Serves 2 large cups.
