Smoothie Recipes
Smoothies are blended mixtures which are delicious and refreshing, satisfy your thirst and hunger at the
same time, are favorites at meal time, snack time, and holiday party time, pack a powerhouse of healthy
vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and are quick and are easy to make if you have a convenient book of
recipes.
Depending on your preferences, smoothies may combine some proportions of fruit, berries, nuts, sherbet,
yogurt, juices, carbonated beverages, milk, grains, natural nutritional supplements, crushed ice, and/or
whatever else I'm forgetting to mention. You push the high-speed button on your blender, and quickly create
something that seems just too tasty and invigorating for being so simple and inexpensive to produce.
1. Use frozen juice concentrate. These are found in the cylindrical containers in your grocer's freezer section
and come in a variety of flavors not limited to basic juice flavors, but also available in a assortment of
lemonade combinations and mixed drink concentrates which are used for cocktails. (A word of caution:
Don't forget to dilute.)
2. Use a frozen desert food. Sorbet provides the perfect base consistency for your smoothie and comes in a
wide selection of flavors. Ice cream or even sherbet can also be used, adding their own uniqueness. Of course
ice cream will yield more of a milk shake, but the selection of desired additional ingredients will produce a
truly novel drink.
3. Freeze the fruit. Cut up the desired fruit medley for your smoothie and pop the fruit in the freezer for a
couple of hours. This will create the needed frozen quality inherent to a smoothie but freezing the fruit will
keep the consistency softer than regular ice cubes allowing your blender to better mix the drink.
4. Freeze the drink. Create your drink using a combination of fruit juice plus your desired fresh fruit. Then
pour the drink into microwave re-heatable cups or glasses and freeze. After the drink is thoroughly frozen,
microwave on low power for a short burst of time, just enough to slightly melt into slush. Remove from the
microwave, stir and enjoy.
5. Slowly add ice to fruit and juice mixture. A common mistake is putting in the ice-cubes first and then
attempting to crush them. Even on pulse mode this won't adequately crush the ice. You also run the risk of
burning out the blender motor. The proper way is to add your juice or whatever liquid you want, then blend
the fruit. As needed, stop the motor and push the fruit to the center using a rubber spatula. Once the mixture
is evenly blended, slowly add an ice cube through the opening of the pitcher lid, sometimes referred to as the
"feed hole." Keep adding one or two ice cubes at a time until the blender sounds smooth instead of gravelly.
Once the desired consistency between fruit, ice, and juice has been achieved, your smoothie is ready.
A frozen treat alternative to a smoothie is mixing juice with honey or some other kind of flavoring and then
freezing. Once the mixture is frozen, remove from the freezer and chop with a fork until slushy. Garnish with
fresh fruit and mint or grated coconut and present in a serving dish or tall glass with a spoon.

Breakfast smoothies
Start with a blender (with a tightly fitting lid) that has enough
power to do some serious whirring. Cut all
ingredients to the size of golf balls or smaller so they blend completely
Put 1/2 cup crushed or cubed ice in the blender, then add the
following: fruit, juice, protein source, frozen treats,
and extras. Put all moist ingredients (fruit, yogurt, etc.) in the
blender and spin on high for about 30 seconds.
Kick the speed to low and blend for a few seconds longer. If you are
including dry ingredients like protein powder
or cocoa, add them now, on low, to help keep them from sticking to the
sides. Stop the blender and jiggle glass canister, it to get an idea of the
consistency--if you need more liquid, add it and blend for another 15 seconds.

peel and freeze in freezer bags.
