Summer Meets Fall Smoothie

Submitted by Margo who called this smoothie recipe scrumptious and hence the name was born Changed name at Margo’s request. Thanks, Margo! I haven’t made this yet, but I am going to be hunting down cranberries this weekend so I can make this smoothie. An odd combination of fruits and flavors have made me very curious about this. Very healthy and looks to be filling as well. I think we have a winner with this recipe. Write in if you make it and let us know how it was.

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen cranberries
• 3 cups cubed watermelon
• 1 small frozen banana
• 6 oz plain non fat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup unsweetened soy milk

I also bet this smoothie looks as good as it tastes with such strong red coloring from the cranberries. Send in pictures if you make it. 

Serves 2

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

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.

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.
