Cilantro Surprise Smoothie
Okay, okay, you are reading this and thinking, “Cilantro Smoothie”? Well, me too. But what is life without trying new things and that means trying new smoothies. You will see some familiar ingredients such as strawberries and papaya but also some not-so-familiar ingredients such as almond milk (see below) which can be difficult to find.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 cup papaya
- 1 cup cilantro
- 8 large strawberries
- 4 dates
HOW DO I MAKE ALMOND MILK?
You can make almond milk by soaking 1 cup of almonds for a few hours. When finished
soaking, strain them and blend them with 3 cups of filtered water. Strain the resulting mixture through a nut milk bag. You can add sweetener or vanilla for additional flavor. To store, place in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. You can also buy almond milk in a health food store, but it will not be raw.
Put everything until smooth. Dr. Yoshiaki Omura discovered that mercury levels in the urine increased after an individual ate Vietnamese soup, which contains cilantro. Dr. Omura’s further research discovered that the herb cilantro could accelerate the excretion of mercury, lead, and aluminum from the body.

College Dorm Smoothie
Most of us don’t really have a package of frozen strawberries or a container of plain yogurt (not to mention flaxseed) lying around, but we crave smoothies too! So this is for you, ESPECIALLY if you’re a college student and you can swipe all these items from your dining hall.
Ingredients:
- 4 ice cubes
- All-fruit Popsicle (I used Edy’s strawberry Fresh Fruit bar)
- 1/2 cup of orange juice
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 6 oz flavored yogurt (I used Yoplait light banana creme pie)
- 1/2 banana
- 1/3 packet of instant oatmeal (I used Quaker Low Sugar Strawberries and Cream)
and just blend it all up!
Submitted by a college student, obviously.

Strawberry Smoothie with Dates
A strawberry smoothie with a surprise of sweetness, dates! The almonds add a nice unexpected flavor as well, but I will never underestimate the humble date again. What do you think about this slightly unusual strawberry smoothie?
Ingredients:
- ½ cup strawberries
- ¼ cup almonds, soaked
- 3 dates, pitted and soaked
- 1 cup water
Soak the almonds and the dates separately (for at least several hours), then rinse. Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

Blueberry Plus Smoothie
Here is a wonderful smoothie packed with fruity goodness. It all starts with the simple blueberry.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 1.5 cups orange juice
- 1.5 cup skim milk
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup frozen peaches
Put everything in the mixer. Blend. Drink. Serves 4 or so.
A pinch of salt will help bring out more flavor, but I usually avoid it. If you think the drink is still too sour (and it will have a bit of a tang to it) you can add honey or even sugar, but you really shouldn’t need to.
Using frozen fruit means you don’t have to use ice which waters down the drink.
