Spiced Carrot Smoothie
I’m not a big fan of vegetable smoothies, which is obviously a hang-up I need to overcome. So I am trying to include more vegetable smoothies on smoothieweb.com, and what sweeter vegetable is there to start with than the delicious carrot. Here is a smoothie recipe for a spiced carrot smoothie.
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1 cup cooked, chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/4 inch piece of gingerroot, peeled
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
Combine apple juice, carrots, applesauce, gingerroot and cinnamon and blend from low to high until creamy smoothie. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to your taste.

Peachy Watermelon Smoothie
http://bhojan.blogspot.com
I love watermelon and the fact that it is only in season for such a short time means I try to eat it as often as I can during the few summer months when it is at its most refreshing and sweet. For some reason I don’t often use it my smoothie recipes even though watermelon is a incredibly healthy food for you. This delicious food is packed with some of the most powerful antioxidants in nature, including Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Vitamin B7. These reduce the chance of colon cancer, relieve some symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, according to The World’s Healthiest Foods. So here is a summer smoothie recipe featuring watermelon, strawberries and peach flavor.
Peachy Watermelon Smoothie Ingredients:
- 2-3 cups watermelon (seeded)
- 1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup strawberries (frozen)
- 1/2 cup peach juice
(or try 1 peach if you don’t have juice)
You know the drill, add to your blender and blend until smooth. Makes 2 nice size glasses.
Lemon Basil Smoothie
This week my wife purchased a small container of sorbet for me called lemon basil sorbet. I thought it was delicious and the flavor was very unique as I wasn’t used to tasting basil in a cold beverage. Then I thought this would make a great smoothie because a sorbet is really just a frozen smoothie in many ways. So here is a smoothie recipe for a lemon basil smoothie. I am very curious to get reactions to this one from our readers. Please comment below how this turned out for you. Believe it or not I do post honest, and respectful negative opinions and comments so please let me know what you thought about this smoothie after making it yourself. I must admit I’m getting more adventurous in my combinations and this is a step in that direction.
Lemon Basil Smoothie Ingredients:
- 2 cups lemon sorbet
- 1 cup milk
- 6 ounces vanilla yogurt
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest (finely grated works best)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped)
- 1 cup ice
As usual put in a blender and let ‘er rip. Blend until smooth and when you pour it in your glass be sure to scrape all that tasty basil out of the blender.
This makes 3 servings, but 2 servings is cool too.
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.

Lemon Kiwi Cooler Smoothie
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.
