Orange Julius Ingredients Smiley Face

As I mentioned in my last post about vanilla, I usually like to keep the ingredients simple when using vanilla so that it doesn’t get lost among stronger flavors. This smoothie maximizes the flavors of orange and vanilla. It’s not … Continue Reading →

Even though I thoroughly enjoy a good grapefruit, I avoided grapefruit smoothies for a long time because I was afraid of them being too bitter. I recently decided to try making one for variety and it was actually quite good. … Continue Reading →

Last chance for this year’s persimmons!

Posted on December 15, 2013 by Adam

Persimmons have become one of my favorite smoothie fruits. Their sweet and mild flavor goes with many combinations. Unfortunately persimmon season is winding down, (at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere), so before they’re gone for the … Continue Reading →

Ingredients on plate: pomegranate, cashews, tamarind paste, ginger, and cumin

Now that I have my faster and more fun pomegranate deseeding technique, I’ve been eating a lot more pomegranates. A friend who is Indian-American came up with this interesting variation on the pomegranate smoothie. It’s inspired by jeera pani (cumin … Continue Reading →

Pomegranates are awesome, but I’ve only recently started putting them in smoothies. Previously I was afraid that their seeds wouldn’t blend smooth enough, and it always felt like a major undertaking to deseed them. It turns out that with a … Continue Reading →

Green Smoothies with stronger tasting greens

Posted on September 16, 2013 by Adam
2

Green smoothies are a great way to increase your consumption of leafy greens. A mild green like baby spinach is a good first green to try because its flavor easily fades behind whatever else you blend. However, ultimately you probably … Continue Reading →

Peach Smoothie Recipe

It’s hard to argue with a cool peach smoothie on a warm summer afternoon. I’m not the biggest fan of stone fruit, but it’s majorly in season, and this smoothie is delicious, even for someone who doesn’t love peaches. I … Continue Reading →

Refreshing Mint Smoothie

This smoothie is quite different from the others I’ve posted so far. I’ve been meaning to do more with mint, and it delivered on this one. This mint smoothie is sort of like a virgin mango mojito. The mango and … Continue Reading →

Vitamix Cherry Almond Vanilla Smoothie

It’s cherry season, and I love cherries, so here’s a simple smoothie that highlights their great flavor. Cherries can go well with many combinations, but in this recipe I didn’t want to dilute their flavor. I just used cherries, almonds, … Continue Reading →

Purple Pie Smoothie (with sweet potato)

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Adam

I came across some good looking purple sweet potatoes, so I couldn’t resist turning one of them into a purple smoothie. This is similar to the previous recipe I listed for a sweet potato smoothie, except this time I added … Continue Reading →

Bright Purple Smoothie with Corn and Red Cabbage

As I mentioned before in my bright orange smoothie post, even though I don’t usually care what a smoothie looks like, sometimes it’s nice to make a strong visual impression. In this case I was curious if I could make … Continue Reading →

Mango Kiwi Smoothie

Posted on March 31, 2013 by Adam

This smoothie has totally different flavors from the ones I’ve previously described, which are often based on berries or ginger. Sourness from the kiwi complements the mango, and cilantro gives it a surprisingly delicious extra kick. ½ cup yogurt 1 … Continue Reading →

Smoothie Ingredient: Ginger

I’ve been adding ginger to smoothies for a long time, but I only recently learned that you don’t have to peel it. Just cut off a piece, wash it, and toss it in the pitcher. Its flavor has a nice … Continue Reading →

If you’ve never tried sweet potato in a smoothie before, you’re in for a treat. They add a nice creamy texture as well as some sweetness and subtle flavor. In some ways it evokes the pumpkin in the pumpkin pie … Continue Reading →

Virgin Piña Colada

This simple recipe combines the last two things I blogged about: coconut butter and pineapple. It was pretty good, though I can’t say it’s one of my favorites. The coconut butter went in smoother than when I previously tried something … Continue Reading →

Smoothie Ingredient: Pineapple

Posted on January 7, 2013 by Adam

Pineapple is a nice addition to fruit smoothies. It is particularly sweet and juicy, and a bit sour. I use it in a variety of random fruit mixtures (along the lines of this one). Cutting one up may be a little … Continue Reading →

Greens beyond baby spinach and a purple smoothie

Posted on November 20, 2012 by Adam

In terms of greens, so far I’ve only described baby spinach in detail. Once you’ve gotten comfortable with baby spinach (which shouldn’t take long since it’s so mild), it’s worth branching out to other greens for the sake of variety … Continue Reading →
