Here is another grape combo that I loved for a couple days. Grapes are so easy! Only blend up the good ones through. Notice I used a healthy slice of pineapple.
Recipe:
1 thick slice of ripe pineapple peeled and cored
1 branch seedless grapes (about 1 ½ cups washed and stemmed)
Copule dates (I wanted this [...]
Day two and I get to enjoy this combination a second time! What a bumper harvest I’m experiencing this year – that is, for greens! I guess I went out of my way to make sure there were enough greens to last all season. And, as you can see from the collection of smoothies lately, [...]
I love how watermelon simply blends up into … pink water! If you have a vertically seedless watermelon lying around and a bowl full of lettuce, this will save you a half hour of chewing time. If there’s one thing the blender does well, that’s preprocess food!
This smoothie’s really simple:
Recipe:
2 peaches
6 little dates
1 [...]
Kale is one of those amazing garden plants. You can plant it just about anywhere and you’ll get something that stands up big and strong. I’m sure it’s got ‘weed’ in its ancestral tree somewhere. The plants that came up in my garden this year took a while to come on, but when they did, [...]
Every year there’s one crop that stands out better than all the others in the garden. This year, I’ve been blessed with beets! What a wonderful veggie. Most people grow them for the wonderful bulb, but I put them in specifically for the greens! I like the fact that the greens are not really bitter [...]
I love it when I can harvest a half dozen beets the size of baseballs and get enough greens for two smoothies. I also love 24 lbs peaches for $7.50. What a screaming deal. The abundance this year looks to be peaches and beet greens.
Even through the base ingredients are the same, the smoothies don’t [...]
But this one has a twist of Honeydew melon to really round out the flavor. I can’t stress it enough, if you get a chance to make juice for the base of your smoothie, there are a few that work really well:
Watermelon
Honeydew melon
Orange
Apple + berry (whatever kind you really like)
Or, if there’s something else that [...]
With Coconut ice cubes to really give it a zing! I don’t think I could stress it enough, if you get a chance to pick up fresh coconuts always save the extra juice (water) and freeze it into cubes. They’re oily, refreshing and flavorful for just about any smoothie.
Garden lettuce also makes a big hit [...]
Take a close look at this smoothie. It’s probably not one that you’re going to want to make. I love papaya when it’s ripe, but the green things that they ship up to my neck of the woods really is hit and miss. It’s just to be the perfect time of year and you’ve got [...]
This is one of my favorite winter time smoothies, yet I found a cold day in the summer (and I had some left over pineapple that needed to be used) that fit the bill perfectly for this one.
Even though the ingredients might seem a little complex, I assure you that it’s one simple little bold [...]
