There are so many Juice and Smoothie Recipes to be found online and in books. As you begin to collect and follow recipes, be sure to experiment and track your favorites. You may find that your favorite smoothie recipe is one that you created yourself. Here are a few recipes to get you started using Smoothies and Juicing.
JUICE RECIPES
Green Juice
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 cups peeled cucumber
- 3 stalks of celery
- 1/2 inch peeled ginger root
- 1 handful of parsley
- 2 apples
Add to your juicer and enjoy
Papaya Orange Juice
- ½ papaya, peeled and seeded
- 4 oranges, peeled
Add to your juicer and enjoy
SMOOTHIE RECIPES
Classic Strawberry Banana Smoothie
- 1 very ripe banana
- 1 cup strawberries (frozen overnight)
- 1 cup milk
Blend and enjoy
My Chocolate Banana Smoothie
- 1 very ripe banana
- 1 cup non dairy milk
- 1-2 tablespoons of cacao powder
- 1 scoop protein powder of your choice.
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1 tsp imitation rum flavoring
Blend and enjoy.
Here are a few key tips will help you embrace this new lifestyle using Smoothies and Juicing.
FIRST and perhaps most important, is to stock up on the produce you need to make your smoothies. Nothing is worse than wanting to make your drink and not to have the ingredients on hand. You can freeze most fruits or buy frozen. You can blend your vegetables and pour them into ice cube trays. When you need to make a smoothie simply pop the cubes into your blender or thaw and drink the juice.
SECOND many juices and smoothies are better when they’re cold. This is particularly true if you’re adding protein. That is why I use some ice in my Smoothies and Juices are served over ice. Check my recipe for Pina Colada Smoothies..Dairy and Gluten Free!
Finally variety is the spice of life and consuming a variety of fruits and vegetables is the healthiest approach. Take advantage of what’s in season and enjoy delicious juices and smoothies year round. Don’t be afraid to experiment, you might want to add carrots to the green juice or swap kale for spinach and the chocolate banana smoothie is excellent with a tablespoon or two of nut butter added. Have fun with it and experiment to find flavors that make you smile.
