For today's tasty treat I want to give you some recipes to try at home. There are three fairly healthy smoothie recipes that don't taste healthy at all. #Surprise being healthy can sometimes taste good. Anyway I will put the recipes in below so that you can try them at home with your blender.
Chocolate Mint Smoothie
2 cups milk (almond, soy, or just plain old dairy)
2 cups sliced frozen bananas
2 tablespoons cacao nibs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla bean scraped
or
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
This mint chocolate recipe you basically throw it all in a blender and blend until it holds the texture of a smoothie. It is one of the favorites at my house and is #delicious (recipe found on pp. 58, Going Raw by Judita Wignall)
Chocolate Cherry (homemade recipe)
1 cup milk (any kind)
1 frozen banana
(optional) 2 stalks kale (rib removed)
1/2 cup frozen cherries
1-2 tablespoons cacao nibs
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup raw cashews
This recipe is also very good and is very easy to make. Throw it all in and blend away!
For those of you who don't like chocolate as much then I have one more recipe for you.
Chai Green
1 cup milk (any kind)
1 banana cut into chunks
1 cup chopped greens of choice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
5-6 drops stevia or 1 tablespoon of honey
6 ice cubes (or six cubes of frozen chai green tea)
We love this recipe at home and we can't get enough of it. It has a very nice taste to it and it tastes like chai. (recipe from pp. 186, The Big Book of Juices and Green Smoothies by Cherie Calbom)
