Broccoli Blueberry Smoothie

April 30, 2011 · Filed Under Blueberry Smoothies, Vegetable Smoothies · 7 Comments 

I have never made a smoothie with broccoli and blueberries specifically, but I have throw in some broccoli florets when making a smoothie every now and then. Quite possibly one of my smoothies had blueberries but I don’t remember for sure. I have been making a habit of adding vegetables at the last minute to many of my fruit smoothies as they provide good nutrition, aren’t wasted and rarely to the detract from the flavor. You would be amazed at how much vegetables you can add to a fruit smoothie without your kids being any the wiser. ;-)

But I did have a request for a broccoli and blueberry smoothie so I went hunting and this combination has not been tried and published that often. In fact, this is the only one I could find on the livestrong website. Please provide any links or your own recipe in the comments below. I’d love to add more to the site. In the meantime, try this one or start tossing in few broccoli florets to any smoothie you are making.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup of steamed broccoli
  • 1 cup of 100 percent cranberry juice
  • 1/2 cup of low-fat plain yogurt

Blend and combine to make 1 smoothie. Add strawberries or blackberries for an additional burst of nutrition.

Wheatgrass Smoothie

I have never had a wheatgrass smoothie so I’m can’t really write anything about it other than to ask you to tell me if a wheatgrass smoothie is good. Is it? Should I try it? Will I like it? Are there any similar tastes? Leave your responses in the comments below. I am really curious if I should start drinking them. I found this recipe in my Vitamix Blender Recipe book.

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 medium orange, peeled and halved
  • 1 medium apple, quartered
  • 4 strawberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup of wheatgrass
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Place all the ingredients in your blender and blend for about 1 minute. Then come back to this website and tell us how it was. Be honest, my taste buds are at stake.

Lemon Kiwi Cooler Smoothie

April 9, 2011 · Filed Under Fruit Smoothies · 6 Comments 

When life gives you lemon, make lemonade, or so the saying goes. But on this site, I say instead of making lemonade, make a lemon smoothie. And if you follow this motto here is the lemon smoothie to try. If you like a tart flavor then you are already a fan of the lemon or even the lime and this smoothie  meets my tart expectations. The use of a the kiwi is a flavor mix and the grapes and a counter sweetness that make it come alive. I would love to hear comments on the use of lemons in your smoothie recipes so please share your reviews after you try this one. I wouldn’t mind hearing about the use of a lime in place or in addition to the lemon. Bring it on!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups grapes (red or green, but I prefer red grapes)
  • 1/2 lemon, peeled and seeded
  • 1/2  kiwi, peeled (trust me, you must peel it or you will get the hairiest smoothie ever.)
  • 3 cups of ice.

Preparation time: about 5 minutes, yields about 5 cups.

 

We hope this smoothie recipe provieds you with the smoothie of your dreams.
