On a hot day, nothing is better than a cold drink. Here’s a new smoothie-like beverage.
I put one large navel orange, peeled, 4 frozen strawberries, 1 cup ice, 1 cup water, and a few lemon verbena leaves.
Blend well and enjoy.
Rice Milk
Owning a Vita-mix has changed my life in many ways. One major change is that I no longer purchase rice milk. I make it myself in just minutes (after the 45 minutes or so it takes to cook the rice, of course).
Into the Vita-Mix goes 1.5-2 cups of rice. Experiment with this until you get the consistency you like. I lean towards 2 cups. Add water. I filled mine almost to the top.
Turn it up to speed 10, then high. Let it blend at least 2 minutes. Taste it and be sure you like the consistency. Add more water if it feels too thick. Sweeten with a few tablespoons of maple syrup if you like.
Banana Maple Walnut Smoothie
A banana, some yogurt, a handful of walnuts, and a splash of maple syrup. Love it.
Spicy Lunch Smoothie
Here is another healthy lunch smoothie. Super healthy, and not so bad going down.
- 1 apple
- 2 carrots
- lettuce (large handful)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (I used frozen)
- 1/3 red beet
- 1 green onion
- splash of Boulder Hot Sauce, Smokey Serrano flavor
- 2 cups water
Throw it all in the Vita-Mix and let it do its job.
