It's the start of the 4th week of my one-month Personal Smoothie Challenge! This weekend, I had the same smoothie both days, and it was really delicious!
1 cup apple cider 5 ounces frozen passionfruit pulp 6 ounces homemade plain yogurt
This morning's smoothie was a total improv piece; as I was making it, I was thinking, "this probably won't work." However, it's an interesting smoothie and I definitely think it's one I will continue to experiment with and try to perfect even more:
1 cup almond milk 1 cup apple cider 1 cup froze red raspberries 1 heaping tablespoon Navitas SuperFood Blend (Hemp, Cacao, and Maca powder)
Like others with blended raspberries, there are seeds in this smoothie; if that bothers you, be sure to press it through a sieve (a fine mesh strainer works well), and the smoothie will indeed live up to its name!
I love oranges and all things citrus. However, I have been using whatever I have around for my smoothies, and I haven't had any oranges around lately. However, there are all kinds of amazingly healthy and delicious orange items to put into your smoothies! Today's is a great vibrant-orange smoothie without any oranges!
1 cup carrot juice 1 cored apple 5 ounces frozen passionfruit pulp 6 ounces homemade plain yogurt 1 pinch of ground cinnamon
Today's smoothie is really tangy--but not in an unbearable way--in a delicious way!
1 cup apple cider 6 ounces plain homemade yogurt 1 heaping cup of frozen red raspberries
Because of the raspberry seeds (just like strawberries), there will be seeds at the bottom of this smoothie. You could strain it through a fine mesh strainer, if you like--I don't think it's necessary, but it will save you from getting a lot of seeds at the bottom!
I didn't post yesterday, but I did maintain my personal smoothie challenge! My smoothie today is a variation on yesterday's, so here are both versions--enjoy!
Yesterday's smoothie: 1 cup carrot juice 6 ounces of my own homemade organic plain yogurt (get a yogurt maker!) 1 apple, cored but not peeled (peel it if the skin will bother you in your smoothie) 1 pinch of ground cardamom a few ice cubes (Here's where coconut water frozen into ice cubes is great!)
Today's smoothie: 1 cup carrot juice 6 ounces of my own homemade organic plain yogurt 1 apple, cored but not peeled 1 inch of fresh ginger a few ice cubes
These are wonderfully refreshing! Let me know if you try either of these--I think cinnamon would be a great addition, too!
Today I really enjoyed a thick and yummy summer-tasting smoothie, even though it's very fall-like outside! Ah, the magic of frozen fruit and canned coconut milk! ;)
1 cup coconut milk 10 ounces frozen watermelon puree 4 fresh julep mint leaves from my garden
Blend and enjoy! This was so thick, it was almost like a sorbet!
The third week of my personal smoothie challenge begins today! I love the concoction I came up with today, too--give it a try and tell me what you think!
1 cup carrot juice 1 cup coconut milk 5 ounces frozen papaya puree 1 inch peeled fresh ginger
It's Saturday! (I love the weekend.) Today's smoothie was very subtle and delicious. Give it a try and enjoy!
1 cup plain yogurt 1 cup apple cider 1 cup frozen strawberries 1 banana
I'd also like to give a shout out to the Denton Juice Co! I really enjoyed my carrot, orange, and ginger juice that I got from them today at the Etsy Denton Handmade Harvest Craft Festival!
