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.

 

Plush Purple Grape Smoothie

black-grape-smoothieWhile looking through my nearly barren refrigerator for a snack I discovered that it was more barren than I suspected. I opened the fruit storage bin and found some dark purple (black) grapes and then turned to eye my blender. I wasn’t sure that I had any smoothie recipes for purple or black grapes so I went online and found this recipe. I don’t mind grape skin and to be honest my Vitamix blender liquefies most everything, but if your blender doesn’t, you may want to peel the grapes first. I don’t recommend it, it adds to the texture.

This recipe is very basic which I like, but a few recipe twists can help add flavor. I would use almond milk instead of milk and I would add some blueberries to round out the flavor. At the time I had these ingredients so I stuck with them and enjoyed my Purple Grape Smoothie.
Ingredients:

  • 2 cups seedless black grapes
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp sugar (or to taste) I personally like Stevia but the recipe I found called for sugar.
  • ice-cubes or crushed ice (optional)

Serves 2.

Found this on Flickr. Simple and to the point, right? I assume you need to add some ice, but maybe not. Let me know if anyone tries this.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of grapes
  • 2 handfuls of spinach

That’s One Grape Smoothie

If you like grapes this smoothie will be quite the treat and for all the sweet flavor this is a very healthy smoothie recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups red seedless grapes
  • 1/3 cup boysenberries
  • 1/3 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup of grape juice (I prefer sparkling white grape juice.)
  • 2 cups of ice

If you can’t find one of the berries, just substitute more of the others so you have 1 full cup of nutrient-rich berries.

Grapefruit Smoothie

I personally don’t like grapefruit, but my wife loves them, so there must be others who would enjoy a grapefruit smoothie. While it is too tart for my tastes it is an ultra healthly smoothie recipe.

Smoothie Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed is perferred
  • 3/4 cup of sliced pineapple
  • 1/4 cup of pineapple juice (this will sweeten it up nicely)
  • 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • 2 cups ice
  • Optional: feel free to add a scoop of ice cream for an even sweeter taste.
