December 28, 2009 · Filed Under Fruit Smoothies · 1 Comment 

I’m always a bit leary of a lemon smoothie, but Kevin (the recipe submitter) knows what he is doing from my experience. I haven’t tried this myself yet, so send in your thoughts and critiques. I would be interested in hearing how tart or how sweet this lemon smoothie actually is.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lemon
  • ½ inch fresh ginger
  • 1 mango
  • 1 banana
  • 1 tablespoon maca powder
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seed
  • 1 handful of cilantro
  • Coconut water or plain water

Preparation:

This is a great smoothie for hot days and after a workout. Throw everything together and blend, adding water until desired consistency is reached.

Strawberry Smoothie with a Sweet Twist

December 5, 2009 · Filed Under Strawberry Smoothies · 3 Comments 

Sometimes naming a smoothie can be difficult. I mean you can only come up with so many smoothies with “surprise” or “delight” in the name. But strawberry smoothies are especially difficult because there are so many variations. So this recipe has a little bit of everything (the twist) and ice cream + honey (the sweet). The inexact science of naming smoothie recipes.

Ingredients:

  • 4 strawberries
  • 1 banana
  • Half mango
  • Half pineapple
  • 2 scoops Ice-cream
  • 1 cup of Orange Juice
  • 1 teaspoon of honey

Preparation:
Chop strawberries in half. Chop banana in 4 pieces. Chop mango and pineapple in 4 pieces (8 in total.) 2 scoops of ice-cream and put in blender. Pour orange juice in blender. Add the teaspoon of honey. Put all ingrediants in blender and blend until smooth. Pour in glass and enjoy!

Tropical Fruit Smoothie

Thank you to Sonny Martin for this delicious smoothie recipe. Inviting too many fruits to the smoothie party can sometimes be a problem, but this mix of fruits works very well. Don’t leave out the coconut cream, it really changes the flavor.

  • ½ can pineapple in its own juice, including juice
  • 1 cup of Papaya, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
  • 1 mango, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled and broken into chunks
  • 2-3 tablespoons coconut cream (not milk)
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 1½ cup plain yogurt (we prefer Mountain High brand)
  • 1 to 1 ½ cup crushed ice

Blend all ingredients, except ice, in blender first set at medium and then at high. When smooth continue blending while pouring in 1 to 1½ cups crushed ice. Serves 4 to 6.
