Help with smoothies

[Guest guest]

Leah,

 

Its all about knowing what fruits to mix together. Strawberries and pineapple

don't really go together. Strawberries, blueberries, & bananas do; topical

fruits go together, etc....

 

Try mixing these up in the blender:

 

MANGO SHAKE: 3 cups mango, 2 cups coconut water, agave nectar or stevia (to

sweeten), 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, lime juice, pinch of sea sea

 

AVOCOLADA: one ripe avocado, 3 cups of pineapple, 2 cups of coconut water, 2

or 3 Tablespoons agave nectar or 1 or 2 packets stevia, 3 tablespoons lime

juice, 1 tablespoon butter (optional), 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, pinch of sea

salt

 

CREAMY COCONUT SHAKE: 3 cups of coconut water, 2 coconut meat, 3 Tablespoons

or more agave nectar or 3 packets stevia, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 teaspoons

vanilla extract, pinch of sea salt

 

PINEAPPLE STAR ANISE LASSI: 3 cups diced pineapple, 1 cup of macadamia milk,

1/4 teaspoon ground star anise.

 

CHOCOLATE BANANA SHAKE: 3 cups frozen diced bananas, 2 cups of brazil nut or

almond milk, agave nectar or stevia, 1 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons

organic cocoa power, or carob power, pinch of sea salt

 

The above recipes are from " Raw Food Real World, " by Matthew Kenney and Sarma

Melngailis. ;-) Don't worry about having the exact ingredient. If you wish to

add or omit something, go ahead. Just follow the basics when you mix fruits....

 

Good luck!! love........

I have been trying to make a smoothie that I actually like the taste of, and

its not working! Two nights ago I tried putting fresh whole strawberries with

some pineapple. YUCK. I thought the problem might have been that I used room

temp. foods, so I tried again this morning. This time I added a small amount of

crushed ice, cold strawberries and pineapple plus 4 drops of stevia. YUCK!

What am I doing wrong? Are these things ever going to taste GOOD?

Meaning, are my expectations unrealistic?

I am not a yogurt fan normally, so I have avoided putting it in a smoothie,

would it make a big difference?

 

Thanks,

Leah
