Smoothie Recipes
Tropical Watermelon Slushy
Two simple ingredients are all that’s needed for this fruit-sweetened frozen treat. And whether you call it a slushy, Slurpee, Slush Puppie, ICEE, or slosh, it’s sure to refresh all summer long! My family LOVES slushies! A make-at-home version is tasty and easy. With some chopped watermelon stored in the freezer, it can also…
Apricot Peach Yogurt Smoothie
Christian and I had a date with Grace, my 2-year-old niece, to make homemade play dough (see the blue fingernails in the photo below) and after lots of rolling, cutting, pressing, and being silly, they were hungry! I had promised Christian an apricot peach smoothie the day before, and we never got around to it.…
Raspberry Peach Coconut Smoothie
We sometimes enjoy smoothies for breakfast, although I more frequently make lunch out of them. For a meal on-the-go, the make-ahead recipes (see drinks and smoothies category) are particularly handy. My kids, on the other hand, often request a smoothie as an after-school snack. New flavors are developed based on the fruits they request —…
Nutty Coconut Pumpkin Smoothie
Stocked with fresh pumpkin puree and having recently made pumpkin pancakes, muffins, and baked oatmeal, my mind turned to smoothies. My first thought was to combine pumpkin and fresh orange juice to keep the color bright and add natural sweetness. But guess what? No oranges. No orange juice either! We have been on a cider…
Make-Ahead Blueberry Almond Smoothie
First, I must say that the color of this blueberry smoothie is about as luscious as the taste! Since I first tried the make-ahead smoothie concept, I have been hooked. I love a nice, thick smoothie and typically rely on frozen fruit and ice to get the consistency I prefer. Using the oats and chia…
Sunshine Smoothie
Every Tuesday, Project Healthy Ever After hosts a smoothie party and invites people to share their favorite blended combinations. Today, I used one of my kids’ favorite smoothies, a Mango-Peach Smoothie, and added a bit of pureed watermelon to the top, just for fun. The colors were beautiful and reminded us all of a sunny day–on…
Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
A long time favorite that’s cold and creamy with deep chocolate flavor and plenty of protein – with chocolate peanut butter option! For years, I’ve been making this smoothie to satisfy my never-ending penchant for ice cream. Over time, I have tweaked the recipe and still switch it up from time to time. I have…
Make-Ahead Sweet Green Smoothie
For years, I have enjoyed making smoothies. There are many I enjoy, but I often return to my favorite smoothie which has a chocolate base and is a healthier way to satisfy my never-ending sweet tooth. Although I like my greens, NEVER did I have any inclination to put them in the blender. Until recently.…
Make-Ahead Strawberry Pecan Oatmeal Smoothie
My friend, Jill, over at GroO New York, recently shared a smoothie link that caught my attention. Although I have often seen smoothie recipes with oatmeal blended in, I have never before tried them, even though I am a huge oatmeal fan. Between the make-ahead concept and the promise of a thick smoothie–and, of course, the suggestion…
Mango Peach Smoothie
A nasty, little virus knocked on our door a few days ago and my younger son was hit rather hard. After a couple days of not eating much, he requested a smoothie last night (as well as last week’s bread…couldn’t pull that one off in time!). I had one more mango on hand–his favorite–so I…
Apple-Cinnamon Protein Smoothie
When Chobani’s new apple-cinnamon yogurt came out a while back, I thought it would be tasty in a smoothie. This is a fun diversion from my typical go-to smoothie flavors, and I have a favorite way to turn it into a smoothie that really reminds me of fall: When I make baked apples, I blend…
