Peachy Keen Smoothie

As I’ve written before I am not a big fan of peaches. I just don’t care for the flavor of a peach. But I’ve been told I’m weird so I try to give the peach its due and include peach smoothie recipes. Here is a healthy recipe for a peach smoothie that I might even try one day.

Ingredients:

2 cups of sliced peaches
1/2 cup of fat free milk (or 1/4 fat free milk and 1/4 soy milk)
1 cup lowfat peach yogurt
2 cups of ice
Dash of nutmeg

Fruit Spice Smoothie Recipe

October 21, 2007 · Filed Under Non-Dairy Smoothies, Peach Smoothies · Comment

A spice smoothie is great during the fall and autumn months. Give this smoothie a try on a brisk fall day or evening.

FRUIT SPICE SMOOTHIE

1 frozen banana (best if cut into 1-inch chunks, then frozen)
1/2 – 1 cup hulled strawberries (don’t need to cut them up)
1/4 – 1/2 cup soy milk, orange juice, or water cinnamon to taste

Add all of the ingredients in a blender. I start with 1/4 cup of liquid and add more depending on how thick I want the smoothie. Blend in spurts until smooth.

Variations:

Use peaches, blueberries, apple slices, or more bananas in place of strawberries (or combine them!) May need to vary the liquid depending on the juiciness of the fruit.
Use fresh bananas and 1-2 ice cubes
In addition to the cinnamon, add one or more of: nutmeg, cloves, ginger, vanilla

Power Smoothie Recipe

September 20, 2007 · Filed Under Healthy Smoothies, Low Carb Smoothies, Protein Smoothie · 5 Comments

If this power protein smoothie doesn’t get you moving you’ll need to add pure adrenaline. A great smoothie recipe with power.

Power Smoothie

1/2 banana
1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 cup fruit juice (i.e. orange, cranberry, etc.)

For added nutrition use:

1 Tbls. soy protein powder
1 Tbls. molasses
1 tsp. wheat germ.

Blend until smooth. Then add frozen fruit, i.e. strawberries, raspberries, etc., one at a time, until smoothie is consistency you desire. The basic recipe is: ice, fruit, yoghurt, juice and/or milk. (I usually stick to juice, but sometimes add just a splash of milk to smooth it out.)
