Wheatgrass Smoothie

April 29, 2011 · Filed Under Healthy Smoothies, Low Fat Smoothies, Non-Dairy Smoothies · 7 Comments 

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.

Perfect Purple Detox Smoothie

March 19, 2011 · Filed Under Healthy Smoothies · 1 Comment 

I haven’t tried this detox smoothie with the exact ingredients yet. The smoothie detoxing ingredients are extensive and may be hard to find, so feel free to substitute where you need to.  The original recipe writer write, “the cayenne powder gives it a spicy punch that intensifies the rest of the flavors, such as sweet-tart raspberries, antioxidant-rich wild blueberries, tangy apple cider vinegar, smooth almond milk, sweet acai juice, nutty flax seed meal and the coconut water ice cubes.”

With a healthy description like that you know its got to be worth trying. Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods stores will have the ingredients, but I put links to some of them on Amazon if you need to buy from there.

Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces Acai Juice
  • 6 ounces almond or soy milk (I prefer almond milk)
  • 1 Tbsp soy creamer
  • 1 cup frozen wild blueberries
  • 1 banana (frozen)
  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 Tbsp Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal (blueberry if you can find it, try Trader Joe’s)
  • 1 cup ice cubes (coconut water ice cubes pref’d)
  • 1 Tbsp Macro Greens powder
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1-3 dashes cayenne powder

Serves 2 healthy people in need of detox.

Tropical Pina Colada Smoothie

January 9, 2011 · Filed Under Pineapple Smoothies, Protein Smoothie · 3 Comments 

I’m not a huge fan of pina colada, although I love the song. ;-) But I must admit I do love the smell of coconut so if you make this smoothie, I would suggest really getting the coconut milk and not using regular milk. It will make all the difference. This is a great breakfast smoothie with plenty of vitamins and protein to get your day started right and make you feel as if you are on vacation in some tropical paradise. I also think substituting the apple for mango is a nice twist. Comment below if you try this tropical smoothie.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pineapple
  • 1 apple
  • 3 Tbs coconut milk
  • 1 banana
  • 1 orange

Blend and serve. If you want to get fancy add a Cocktail drink Umbrella and garnish with pineapple and banana.

Green Smoothie Goodness

March 7, 2010 · Filed Under Green Smoothies · 2 Comments 

Another green smoothie with a distinct flavor. Mixing pear and banana is something you will discover is a delicious and wonderful flavor combination. You won’t even taste the kale, but you will still get the health benefits.

Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas
  • 1 Gala apple
  • 1 pear
  • 1 cup of kale
  • 1/2 cup water

This makes 2-3 servings, but don’t feel bad downing the entire smoothie by yourself. It is that good.
