Looking for Some "Super" Smoothie Ideas for the Big Game?
There's no reason to give yourself over to a hot-wings-fat-and-sugar binge just because there's a big game! I've concocted a couple of team-spirit smoothies to bring some nutrition to your celebration! These recipes make about 5 cups each, but are easily doubled.
Ingredients
2 cups carrot juice (Since I have a juicer, I made my own, but Lassen's carries fresh and delicious carrot juice in our refrigerated cases!)
2 cups orange juice
one apple, core removed
2 tsp fresh ginger (I just added a chunk of ginger that was about 1" x 1/2")
1 cup mango (I used frozen, but fresh is great too)
juice of 1 lemon
2 cups orange juice
one apple, core removed
2 tsp fresh ginger (I just added a chunk of ginger that was about 1" x 1/2")
1 cup mango (I used frozen, but fresh is great too)
juice of 1 lemon
Directions
Mix everything in a blender until smooth. Add more ginger if you'd like!
I love adding fresh apples to my smoothies--they add some body without an overpowering taste (which you sometimes get with bananas.)
Chill and stir before serving. Yum! (Go Broncos!)
If you prefer something greener…. Here's my
2 cups Coconut Juice, Milk or Water (I used Juice) 1 cup orange juice 1 cup pineapple (I used frozen, but again, fresh is great!) 1 avocado, pitted and peeled 1 banana 5 large kale leaves (I usually remove the thickest part of the stem) 1 cup spinach juice of two limes 2 tsp ginger, if desired
Blend everything together until well mixed.
The avocado is a nice nutritional addition!
Chill and then stir before serving. Delicious! (Go Seahawks!)
