SMOOTHIES

Smoothie Tips -

My favorite blender is the Vitamix. The Blendtec is a great alternative.

All recipes make enough for two large glasses or can be used as a smoothie bowl base!

These recipes all are very flexible with ratios of ingredients. Be creative and try different ingredients or liquids to see what you like best!

Use ripe bananas always for delicious and best digesting smoothies (look for spots and no green tip)

Freeze bananas without peel and chopped up in a sealed container

To make nicecream- add frozen ingredients (bananas and mangos) work best and let defrost a little before blending using as little liquid as possible.

A little organic almond creamer (Califia Farms is excellent) sometimes to make a smoothie taste more like a dessert.

Have supplies on hand!

*Kid Tips:
In the beginning, I would hide the color of the green smoothies by putting it in a cup that had a lid so my kids would drink them.
Start with just a few greens and work up to the full amount.
For some reason a lot of kids don’t trust the color green, but actually enjoy the flavor!

Any smoothie can be frozen into popsicles for the Keiki!

Purple Rain

2 Large Handfuls of Frozen Blueberries
2 Ripe Bananas(Use frozen for extra texture)
1/2 cup Organic Apple Sauce
Handful of Ice
1 Tablespoon Organic Almond Creamer (Califia Farms is my favorite!) - Optional

Blend until smooth!

Acai Nice Cream

3 Frozen Bananas

2 Handful Frozen Mangos

2 Acai Packets

*Ratio of ingredients is very flexible!

Put in blender and let defrost for a few minutes
Add just enough liquid to blend for a thick, rich, nice creamy texture
(I use mango puree or apple sauce/juice/almond milk/water)
Blend until smooth!

*If you don’t have frozen ingredients it will simply be a delicious smoothie or base for an Acai Bowl
