Strawberry Smoothie with a Sweet Twist

December 5, 2009 · Filed Under Strawberry Smoothies · 3 Comments 

Sometimes naming a smoothie can be difficult. I mean you can only come up with so many smoothies with “surprise” or “delight” in the name. But strawberry smoothies are especially difficult because there are so many variations. So this recipe has a little bit of everything (the twist) and ice cream + honey (the sweet). The inexact science of naming smoothie recipes.

Ingredients:

  • 4 strawberries
  • 1 banana
  • Half mango
  • Half pineapple
  • 2 scoops Ice-cream
  • 1 cup of Orange Juice
  • 1 teaspoon of honey

Preparation:
Chop strawberries in half. Chop banana in 4 pieces. Chop mango and pineapple in 4 pieces (8 in total.) 2 scoops of ice-cream and put in blender. Pour orange juice in blender. Add the teaspoon of honey. Put all ingrediants in blender and blend until smooth. Pour in glass and enjoy!

Strawberry Smoothie with Dates

August 26, 2009 · Filed Under Strawberry Smoothies · Comment 

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.
