Mango Strawberry Banana Smoothie

mango-banana-strawberry-smoothieI 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.

Smoothie Ingredients:
Bottom layer:
  • 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.

Strawberry Peach Carrot Smoothie

February 13, 2011 · Filed Under Peach Smoothies, Strawberry Smoothies · 4 Comments 

strawberry-peach-carrot-smoothieNext time, I think I’d omit the yogurt in favor of a banana (not a big fan of yogurt’s tanginess in smoothies) and add an extra carrot for sweetness (this wasn’t unsweet, which is why I didn’t add agave nectar, but I figure an extra carrot for sweetness is still a sneaky way of getting more…carrot. Also, I know it seems odd that carrot adds more sweetness than the fruit, but it does).

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium carrot (peeled)
  • 1 fresh peach
  • 6 or so frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 container of vanilla nonfat greek yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon flax seed oil

Blend blend blend until somewhat runny (the frozen strawberries make this more like a frozen yogurt when first combined, needs a little more blending action to make it drinkable).

Strawberry Lemon Zing Smoothie Recipe

January 15, 2011 · Filed Under Strawberry Smoothies · 7 Comments 

Okay, this smoothie may not be for everyone, but I was craving a taste of summer. It is 33 degrees today in the good old city of Richmond, VA and I’m feeling the strong desire for warmer weather. Lemonade stirs memories of warmer times so I felt strawberry smoothie with the zing of lemon was a good choice. Let me know if this smoothie made your day, cold or not.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups lemonade
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup strawberry yogurt

Pour all liquid ingredients into the blender. Add all frozen ingredients. Blend at MIX setting for 30 seconds then blend at SMOOTH setting until smooth. While the machine is running, move the stir stick around counter-clockwise to aid mixing. Serve immediately. Each recipe serves 2, in my opinion, your serving sizes may vary. ;-)
