FRUIT SMOOTHIES

Steps:

• In a large-capacity blender combine all of the ingredients and puree until smooth. (Alternatively, puree in batches if necessary.) Serve the smoothies in chilled tall glasses.

GREEN SMOOTHIE

Steps:

• Put the pineapple, kale, frozen grapes, lemon juice, ginger and flaxseed into a blender. Blend on high until very smooth, turning off the blender and pushing down on the ingredients with a spatula or wooden spoon as needed to help the blending process. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water if needed to adjust consistency. Pour into a glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge.

FRUIT SMOOTHIES

Steps:

• In a blender cup, add the bananas and strawberries. Sweeten the fruit to taste with the honey. Add the milk and energy powder. Place the blender cup on the blender and on medium speed. Puree until smooth. Add the crushed ice and continue to blend until smooth. If one prefers the smoothie to be thicker add a little more ice. Serve immediately.

"EMERALD ECSTASY" GREEN SMOOTHIE

Steps:

• Turn the machine quickly from variable speed 1 to 10 then flip the switch to high. Push the ingredients down into the blades until the entire mixture is blending. I find it easier to push the food continuously down one corner of the container and eventually it begins to blend. The apple may require a bit of "pounding" before it begins to mix (this is a great anger management recipe! :-).
• When the mixture is first blending it should be so thick and slushy (from the ice) that it is thick like a thick "slushy". If it is too liquid at the beginning, add more ice so it is thick and "slushy". This allows you to blend for 1-2 minutes without warming the drink up from the friction of the blades. It also allows you to break the foods down to the most bioavailable (cellular) level.
• This is a "beginner" Green Smoothie that 98% of the population will love!
