In spirit of yesterday's Holiday I thought I'd share with you a pumpkin recipe.
4 oz. canned pumpkin
6 oz. vanilla yogurt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons brown sugar
4 ice cubes
Place all ingredients into Vita-Mix blender and blend. Serve immediately.
If you like dates this one is for you.
8 oz. nonfat milk
8 oz. vanilla lowfat frozen yogurt
3 dates, pitted and chopped
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Place all ingredients in a Vita-Mix blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
5 oz. oat milk (or use soy milk)
8 oz. pineapple juice
5 oz. apple juice concentrate
1/2 tablespoon vanilla
6 large frozen strawberries
10 ice cubes
Makes three 12 oz. servings.
Place all ingredients in your Vita-Mix blender and blend well.
During blending process you may add 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil and 2 tablspoons wheat germ if desired.
3 to 4 tablespoons instant coffee powder
8 oz. milk (nonfat okay)
8 oz. vanilla frozen yogurt
8 oz. frozen bananas
Place all liquid ingredients into Vita-Mix blender first. (Yogurt is a liquid ingredient).
Add bananas.
Place cover on blender and blend until smooth.
20 oz granny smith apples, peeled & diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
6 oz. apple juice
10 oz. nonfat frozen vanilla yogurt
2 oz. caramel sauce
10 oz. ice cubes
Toss together the apple and lemon and place in freezer until partially frozen.
Pour apple juice into a Via-Mix blender, add the yogurt, caramel, ice cubes and frozen apples. Blend together.
This is a great substitute for applesauce. You can control the consistency of it by adding more or less of the chopped apple.
1 frozen banana
1/2 peeled apple
8oz. apple juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
Add all ingredients to a Vita-Mix blender and blend.
Here's a recipe that your kids might enjoy.
16 oz. milk
2 tbsp blackberry jelly
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 banana, frozen & chunked
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp wheat germ
Add milk, jelly, peanut butter, banana, honey and wheat germ to Vita-Mix blender. Blend until smooth and serve immediately.
I have to be honest and say that this smoothie does not appeal to me at all. I can't imagine drinking these ingredients. I like them for cooking but for drinking? Not so sure about that. It sounded interesting so I thought I would share the recipe!
8oz. tomato juice
1/2 tsp chopped jalapeno
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 oz. chopped onion
4 oz. chopped parsley
2 garlic cloves, peeled
Place all ingredients (chopped) into your Vita-Mix blender and blend. Serve immediately.
8 oz. Orange segments
4 oz. Grapefruit segments, chilled
4 oz. Strong-brewed Earl Grey tea, chilled
6 oz. Orange sherbet
2 Ice cubes
Place the orange segments, grapefruit segments and Earl Grey tea into your Vita-Mix blender. Add the sherbet and ice. Blend until smooth.
