More smoothies

Remember Orange Julius? Not what they serve now but the ones that actually tasted like oranges? Well here is my recipe.

Orange Julius

3 peeled oranges

1 cup soy milk

1 cup ice.

Blend and enjoy.

Post Exercise Juice

2 apples

1" pc of ginger

3 stalks celery

1/2 cup unsweetened juice.

Blend and enjoy

This one was actually a little thick. We used to make this combo in regular juice but I really like the whole juice concept because you retain the fiber.

Sunrise Citrus Smoothie

One of my favorite places to eat is One World Cafe. There are so many vegitarian and vegan options. I haven't had a bad meal yet. I love their Sunrise Citrus Smoothie and I came pretty close to it the other day .

Sunrise Citrus Smoothie

2 peeled oranges

4-6 frozen strawberries

1" pc of peeled ginger

a splash of unsweetened cranberry juice.

Toss everything into the Blendtec and push #4. In 40 seconds you have a wonderful drink.

Tonigth I'm going to try a cashew cream sauce in the blender. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Karen's Amazing Smoothie

I fell in love with this smoothie when Karen first made it for he sabbath school class. I have waited to make it until we could get our new blender.

Finally after a year+ we have the perfect blender and smoothies are just that smoooooth. No more odd bits and pcs surprising you as you drink.

Here's the recipe:

Karen's Amazing Smoothie

1 banana
1 cup soy or almond milk
2 dates ( I left these out and it was still very sweet)
2 Brazil nuts
1 tablespoon raw sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
6 almonds
Blend and enjoy.


The first time I made this I put in the soy milk and then decided to double the recipe. I forgot to double the milk and we had a very nice pudding. :-) The 2nd time I made it correctly and then tossed in a couple of frozen strawberries. It was delicious.

I can't wait to use the blender for my cashew cream.
