mango-berry frost

[violetgirl]

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the living foods diet and have been 'lurking' on this board for a few days. You are all so well-informed! I will be starting a 30-day challenge next week, but wanted to share an awesome smoothie I made up yesterday. I have been the 'smoothie diva' in my house for several years now, and this one got rave reviews from my family. I hope you like it! Oh, and I have a question----- is hemp powder raw? Thanks! ( I am thinking in terms of adding to my smoothie recipes).

MANGO-BERRY FROST

*8 oz. fresh-squeezed orange juice
*1 apple, cut up (not frozen)
* 1 cup peeled, frozen mango
*1 cup frozen berries (I use a mixture of blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries that come bagged from my grocery store)
*1 frozen banana

Place all ingredients in high-speed blender and whizz until thick and frosty. You may add a bit more water if it's too thick to drink. Enjoy!

Ok now that does sound good. Thanks Smoothie Diva. Gonna try that one. Blessings Earthmama

No problem Earthmama, I am happy to share.

Try this smoothie now..... I still have swiss chard growing in my garden (mild Fall here in Northern New York, and chard is mighty hardy!)

SWISS CHARD SENSATION:

1 cup chard, sliced pencil-thin
1 cup frozen, mixed berries
1 unfrozen apple, sliced thin
1 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Whizz until thick and frosty. It's slightly green, but you hardly taste the chard with the sweetness of the berries and apple. What a powerhouse of nutrients, though! (They don't call me the 'smoothie diva' for nuthin!)

Sounds great, Violet. I'm a smoothie junkie myself. :D

Oohhh gotta try that one too, I have never had chard. Where are you in New York? We have looked at homes online in that area. I haven't tried the other smoothie yet, out of mango, but I am sending hubby to the store tonight.LOL. take care. Blessings Earthmama
