Mango Strawberry Banana Smoothie

I found this wonderful smoothie image on Flickr.com and then found the smoothie recipe on Sandra’s Recipes at http://sandrarecipeblogsite.blogspot.com. Not only is this mango, strawberry, banana smoothie a treat for the tongue, it is a visual delight for the eyes. Sandra has done a masterful job creating this smoothie. Please visit her site to find more recipes (and every recipe has a photo). This smoothie needs to be built in two colorful layers. It takes a little extra time, but you and anyone you share this smoothie with will be delighted at the results.

An added feature for this smoothie is the fact that is a non-dairy smoothie.

• 1 mango, peeled, pitted and chopped
• ½ cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 medium ice cubes

Top Layer:

• 1 banana, chopped
• 10 strawberries, cut in half
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 3 medium ice cubes

Directions: In a blender, puree the mango, orange juice, lime juice, honey, and ice cubes, until smooth, and divide amongst 2 straight-sided 8 oz. glasses, and set aside.

Rinse blender, then puree banana, strawberries, lemon juice, and ice cubes, until smooth, and gently pour into glasses while trying to maintain a line separating the layers.

I would love to post additional photos of this smoothie, so if you give it a try, send in the photos to blenderman@smoothieweb.com and I’ll add them and give you credit.

Tropical Pina Colada Smoothie

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 Julius

This submission isn’t a smoothie recipe I have tried. And I’m not the biggest fan of green smoothies – usually not sweet enough for my tastes, but the health benefits of gren smoothies can’t be ignored. Please let me know if you try this one. I am very curious how the parsley would taste. That’s a lot of parsley. Pardons to the more famous Orange Julius recipes we have.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups orange juice
• 2 large mangoes
• 2 cups fresh parsley or spinach
• 2 cups of ice

Blend well and drink your healthy green smoothie. Yields 4 cups or 2 servings, as I feel 16 ounces is one serving for a smoothie.

Dandy Dandelion Smoothie

Well, here is something new to try for me: dandelion greens. Here is some information about dandelion greens. Of course, adding them to a smoothie is a good way to get them into your diet. We all need more greens.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups dandelion greens
• 2 cups apple juice
• 1 cup water
• 1 mango
• 1 peach

Blend until creamy, then drink and feel healthier, you just had a green smoothie.

Kevin’s Special Lemon Squeeze

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.
