Easy Mango Smoothie

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 23:25:24 -0500

When mangoes are in season, this makes a refreshing and delicious treat. The ingredients call for lowfat vanilla ice cream and nonfat milk; I have tried it using regular ice cream and whole milk; if you like a very rich smoothie you will enjoy it this way. I usually make it with regular ice cream and 1% milk. -- posted by TasteTester

" Greens to Go" Smoothie

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 14:45:39 -0500

This is from Nancy Campbell from Above Rubies magazine. "The chlorophyll in greens combats tumor growth; it works on the adrenal glands, purifies the lymph nodes, unclogs the arteries and enriches the blood. It protects against radiation. Chlorophyll is only one of the many benefits of greens. It also provides a large gamut of vitamins and minerals, phyto-nutrients and colon cleansing cellulose. It is blended so smoothly that even babies starting solids and toddlers who can't chew up greens can swallow these power foods and not gag. The cellulose is broken down and the greens are so easily digested that they begin to assimilate even while still in their mouth." You might need to play with the greens amount to get the right amount of sweetness. I added more fruit to cut the greens taste and would use only milk or kefir, instead of water next time. Try strawberry, raspberry, peach etc. I adjusted it just a bit. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Banana Colada (Non-Dairy Mocktail)

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:16:02 -0500

A luscious-looking drink for all you coconut lovers out there (like me!) who want something smooth and creamy, but don't want or can't have alcohol or dairy. I found this over at the World's Healthiest Foods site while browsing their recipe collection. This variation on the more traditional pina colada recipe is a good cure any tropical cravings you might have! You'll want to make sure to use ripe bananas for this recipe, as it will provide more flavor and sweetness that way. Also, make sure to use only enough liquid to keep the blender going. NOTE: Cook time is freezing time for the bananas. If you're like me and usually have leftover ripe bananas already in the freezer waiting to be used, this recipe is a snap to put together. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen

Thick Tropical Smoothie With Bananas and Strawberries

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:40:14 -0500

Just had a root canal and having other toothache problems so it's difficult for me to chew solid food, including fruits. I recently had purchased a can of Safeway brand Tropical Fruit with Pineapple and Passion Fruit Juices. The ingredients read: pineapple, red papaya, yellow papaya, pineapple juice, water, sugar, passion fruit juice, banana puree, citric acid. I emptied the can with the juice into a freezer-safe container and froze overnight. I let the frozen fruit thaw in the fridge for a few hours and then ran the container under cool water for a about 30 seconds to break up the mass of frozen fruit from the edges of the container and then cut it up with a plastic pancake turner. I used a square-shaped container and broke the frozen fruit up into 4 large pieces so it would fit into the blender. Bf bought me fresh strawberries so chose to use those over the frozen ones I had. I always keep sliced, frozen bananas on hand in the freezer. The water in the recipe is necessary for the blending and it doesn't taste too watered down, and I needed just about 1/2 cup. The honey is for a little added sweetness. This makes two very large servings. This turned out thick, but drinkable. Please let me know how you like my recipe. It would make a great breakfast, snack, or even dessert! Prep time doesn't include freezing time for the fruit. -- posted by blancpage

Creamy, healthy and delicious! A classic smoothie from the BlackCat13 restaurant in Saigon, this guarantees to please. it combines the complimentary flavors of mango and banana which each lend not only flavor but their own style of smoothness to the drink. prepared fresh and with high-quality ingredients, it's sure to please. And the best part is that if you use fully-ripe mango and banana, NO simple syrup is even necessary! -- posted by BlackCat 13 Chef

Black Cat 13 "formula 2" Recovery Smoothie

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:17:53 -0400

Our customers asked for a healthy smoothie-base that would specifically help them recover after a hard workout. We picked these items, each lending their own curative and anti-inflamatory properties. Together they make a sweet, tart sorbet with an amazing, beautiful ruby color. Great by its own right, it also makes a great base that you can use for a knockout smoothie. Try blending a few scoops of this with a banana and you'll be hooked for sure; and your body will thank you! -- posted by BlackCat 13 Chef

Delicious Fruit Smoothie!!

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:59:55 -0400

I've never had much luck making smoothies until I threw this one together. It is ridiculously good for you, amazingly delicious, and super easy to make! However, my favorite thing about it is that you can store some in the fridge and it stays smoothie consistency for at least 24 hours (maybe longer, I haven't tried yet)! For the frozen strawberries and bananas, I freeze my own from fresh. I imagine the frozen kind you get from the store would work well too. You could try substituting other fruits or juices, but I can only guarantee the results with this recipe! -- posted by ramartin42

Banana Passionfruit Smoothie (21 Day Wonder Diet: Day 16)

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:23:38 -0400

This is Day 16: Breakfast, on the 21 Day Wonder Diet. This is a delicious smoothie, and one of my favourite breakfasts on this diet! You can use a different flavoured yogurt if you prefer, but I think the passionfruit is perfect in it. This breakfast is to be followed by a mid-morning snack of 1 lebanese cucumber, cut into sticks and served with 1 tablespoon of low-fat cottage cheese. -- posted by Sara 76

Use It or Lose It Smoothie

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:16:23 -0400

I bought a ton of fresh fruit at the start of the week and it is now Saturday and there is the odd bit of fruit still left in the fridge that must not have much time left in it. I hate throwing food away but know I won't get to eating it all one bit at a time before it goes off. So, I threw it all in the smoothie maker and decided to see what would happen. I ended up really enjoying the results. I used Greek yoghurt because it is what I had and my lactose intolerance doesn't flair up if I use it. I am sure you could use any fat free yoghurt though. This made two big smoothies for me but could easily be four smaller ones. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Superfruit Smoothie

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:44:46 -0400

My absolute favorite smoothie - banana, kiwi, mango, peach, and clementine! When fresh fruit is in season, I like to play around with different combinations, but this is the one that I make the most. Not only does it taste absolutely amazing, but it is loaded with natural nutrition too; Vitamins B & C, potassium, dietary fiber, omega-3 F.A.s, antioxidants, calcium...much more wholesome (and yummier!) than a vitamin pill in my opinion. And because of the fiber and protein, it is filling enough to be a hearty snack or a meal substitute. Before you get too excited, a quick word of warning about the kiwi - if you eat too much at once it can make your mouth feel tingly and raw (yes... I've had this happen. I can't help myself!) I hope you like this smoothie as much as I do! :) -- posted by Oenophilly

I made this smoothie, trying to copy a store-bought kind and this is so much better! The fresh pineapple gives it such a light, fresh flavour- it's just not the same with canned pineapple. If any of this smoothie makes it to the fridge, you may like to water it down with some pineapple juice as the coconut milk thickens as it cools. -- posted by Shuzbud

When my breastfed daughter was around 10 months I started noticing something wasnt quite right, so I went to my Midwife & it turns out I had extremely low iron. Normal is 12 & I was at 7. She told me to be sure to eat my leafy greens, we'll in the hot humidity of South Western Florida the cooler your food is the better! This is so good, my daughter & I drink one every other day now & my iron level is up to a 13 after just one month!!! I can just imagine what its done for her! I have tried many variations to switch it up a little, adding yogurt makes for a smoother texture (and the active cultures never hurt) Apple Juice can be substituted if you dont have OJ in the house. Mango (i used frozen to avoid the prep) Use your imagination -- posted by mrs.cubana

Mangoes are really high in fiber and have lots of health benefits! I found a recipe similar to this in a book called Green For Life, but I altered it a tad. I find that people new to green smoothies might want to use a little less greens to start off, in order to get yourself acclimated to it. -- posted by Mimosas for Mr & Mrs

Sunshine Tropical Smoothie

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:28:27 -0400

Made this for breakfast today from stuff I had on hand. Freezing over-ripe bananas is a great way to always have them on hand for breakfast smoothies, and it's another great use for bananas that are beginning to turn brown other than the ol'standby: banana bread! Simply peel your over-ripe banana, break into pieces that will blend in your blender, and place in a ziplock freezer bag. They are ready to go! For this recipe, be sure to use coconut WATER, not milk, which gives this smoothie just the perfect "hint" of tropical coconut flavor. Coconut water has 15 times more potassium than that found in sugary sport drinks, and that it contains five key electrolytes. It is the water found inside the coconut after it has been filtered through the coconut's husk. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Banana Almond Date Soy Smoothie

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:54:39 -0400

This vegan smoothie is amazingly rich, creamy, filling, and healthy. It has a nice texture to it from the almonds and a natural sweetness from the banana and dates. I like that there is no refined sugar added or any animal products, all good for us and the planet. I like using a frozen banana to make the drink cold, but room temperature works well too. If you want to freeze bananas, peel them before freezing. Peeling frozen bananas doesn't work! And place them separated in the freezer so they don't freeze together. -- posted by Chef #1363287

I've been trying to eat healthier and add in my fruits and vegetables in my diet. For me, that's a huge task since I'm a horribly picky eater! I wanted to get more bananas in my diet for the potassium, but I HATE the taste of them! So basically what I did this morning for breakfast was add everything into this smoothie recipe until I could barely taste the banana and it worked! I calculated that this smoothie is about 470 calories, and almost 9 grams of fiber. I also flax oil to give this drink an extra boost of nutrition. -- posted by Chef #1356549

Smoothie in Paradise

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:26:32 -0400

Pineapple, mango, banana and coconut....why shouldn't breakfast remind you of a caribbean vacation?!?! I've been playing mad scientist with the blender lately and this is my favorite concoction yet. The most important thing I've learned about smoothies: FROZEN FRUIT IS THE WAY TO GO! If you allow it to partially thaw so that the fruit is still quite icey, but softened enough to blend easily, you do not have to add as much ice and thus get more intense flavor. (If you do not care for the granular consisitency of flaked coconut you could substitute with 1/8 to 1/4 cup of canned cream of coconut.) -- posted by FolkDiva

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:25:49 -0400

Part of my Nasoya Madness series since I got tons of coupons for Nasoya Creations so I could get the tofu packs for almost nothing; and did lots of experiments most of which went well! This is really, really sweet and a little different. I wouldn't add extra sugar, there's already a lot of flavors going on and natural sugar. -- posted by the80srule

Vegan Choco-Banana Smoothie

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:26:22 -0400

Part of my Nasoya Madness series since I got tons of coupons for Nasoya Creations so I could get the tofu packs for almost nothing; and did lots of experiments most of which went well! This is a vegan-ized classic and you can vary it by using 2/3 cup plain soymilk mixed with 1 tsp cocoa powder for a subtler chocolate flavor. It's also iceless for ease. -- posted by the80srule

Caribbean Way Smoothie

I found this recipe online at themommyplaybook.com. My son loves Smoothie King's version and this is supposed to be a good copy. I haven't tried it yet, but will in a few days. I just wanted to post it so I would have it accessible. **The recipe calls for papaya juice but Recipezaar changed it to papaya nectar. -- posted by Seven Wonders

I made this tonight out of things on hand, so measurements are approximations. It was *really* good, so I thought I'd post it. -- posted by mliss29

Strawberry Banana Crunch Shake

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:11:34 -0500

This easy shake goes good for just about anything- breakfast, a lunch drink, a dinner dessert, and a perfect snack. It's simple and you run by the ingredients every time you go to the store. I used the Nestle YoCrunch yogurt because it has two of the main ingredients but you could use whatever kind you'd like. Just try it and you'll be happy! -- posted by Nick R.

I just made this and it was so good I had to share it. Measurements are approximations. The short prep time assumes you've already peeled and chopped up your fresh pineapple. -- posted by mliss29

Power Packed Purple Smoothie

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:24:14 -0500

I've gotten really into having smoothies for breakfast lately. They taste great and it helps me get in some great nutrients to start my day. This one contains a couple ingredients that will make you think "What??!!" Trust me on this one. The cottage cheese adds lots of protein and gives the smoothie a creamy texture. Spinach adds lots of vitamin A and you can't even taste it (really, I promise!). ___________________________________________ Recipezaar does not have light soy milk in their nutrition database and therefore, the nutrition data is incorrect. When I make this smoothie with Silk's light plain soy milk it has: 372 Calories, 6g Fat, 60g Carbs, 7g Fiber, 24g Protein, 1,082mg Potassium, 42% RDA Calcium, 25% RDA Magnesium, 44% RDA Vitamin A, 63% RDA Vitamin B-12, 33% RDA Vitamin B-6, 92% RDA Vitamin C, 30% RDA Vitamin D -- posted by muncheechee
