Healthy Green Coconut Smoothie
I have been experimenting more with coconut oil and I think I like it. So you may see a few more coconut oil smoothies in the future. It isn’t a staple for most kitchens, but maybe it should be. Coconut oil, said to be “healthiest oil on earth” is extremely good for for you (read more here) and adds a unique taste you will enjoy. Try and and let me know how you like it. Here is a brand I recommend: Barlean’s Organic Oils Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Ingredients:
- 2 bananas, frozen
- 2 HUGE handfuls spinach (you won’t even taste it)
- 1 cup milk (almond or soy is even better than moo juice)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Add all ingredients into a blender. Blend until mixed. Serve in tall glasses and enjoy.

Banana Raspberry Yogurt Smoothie Recipe
I don’t care for raspberries and putting them in a smoothie isn’t something I usually do. Mixing them with other fruits certainly helps and once blended their velvet texture, which I don’t care for either, isn’t an issue, but I still don’t try to fit them in my smoothie mixes. But my wife and kids like them so I keep a few bags in case they ask for them. I’m also sure that many of the readers like them too, so here is another raspberry smoothie for everyone else. ;-)
I love soymilk and almond milk so feel free to use either for this recipe. I also leave it to you to choose sweetened and/or vanilla flavoring. I personally would choose unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but your tastes may be different.
Ingredients:
- 1 container (6 oz) 99% Fat Free French vanilla yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups soymilk or almond milk
- 1 cup unsweetened frozen or fresh raspberries
- 1 medium banana
- add a few ice cubes if you don’t use frozen raspberries
You know the drill…
Place ingredients in blender or food processor. Cover; blend on high speed about 30 seconds or until smooth. Serves 2.
Peppermint Smoothie Delight
Theresa Raffetto
Christmas is coming and one of the best Christmas aromas is the cool refreshing scent of peppermint. Add a little Christmas flavor to your smoothie this year and try adding peppermint to a smoothie. While this peppermint smoothie isn’t exactly healthy, it is wonderful for a treat now and then. If you have peppermint lovers in your family (peppermint bark, anyone?) then this cool smoothie will be sure to please.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt (you can use it unfrozen but it will be too runny)
- 2 cups of 1% milk
- 2 tbs crushed pepermint candy (or peppermint bark for some chocolate flavor)
- 1 1/2 cups of ice
- optional peppermint sprig for garnish
Add to a blender and create your Christmastime Peppermint Smoothie! You may need to blend a little longer to get the peppermint candy pulverized.
Blue Soymilk Smoothie
I have recently become addicted to Silk Soymilk and its creamy vanilla flavor. I read on the outside of the Silk Soymilk box a very simple smoothie recipe. I changed it a little after trying their recipe and added some more fruit. It is delicious so I wanted to share it with you in case you didn’t believe the simplicity of recipe could actually be so tasty.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Silk Vanilla Soymilk
- 1 cup frozen blueberries (they must be frozen)
- 1/2 strawberries (fresh or frozen)
And that’s it. No sweeteners needed, it is wonderfully creamy and delicious. My wife asked for seconds. I blended it in my Bullet Blender (Magic Bullet Express 17-Piece High-Speed Blender Mixing System
