Smoothie fetish
I am ready to admit: I have a smoothie fetish. There's nothing that I love more than a delicious, fruity, cool, sweet, tangy, healthy, raw smoothie!
I've been making smoothies left and right. I decided to fast for as long as possible starting tomorrow and realized I had some beautiful ripe fruits sitting on my countertop. How could I let them go to waste??! I was hanging out with Mike and Jenny and, to use up my lovely fruits, decided to treat them to a fantastic midnight smoothie.
We call this smoothie The Vagabond. Here's the recipe!
1 mango
1 pear, no skin
1 orange
1 banana
1 plum (with skin)
1/2 cup apple juice
Honey to taste
Ice (approx. 1 cup)
Blend and enjoy! Mike's optional alteration: 2.5 oz. rum (flavored or regular)
That's a pic of the delightful smoothie right before we drank it all up! And no, it's not in a shot glass-- that's just a cute little cup I thought would look nice for the picture. The smoothie itself is a nice yellow color, and the best part is the small bits of deep maroon plum skin speckled throughout like confetti. Beautiful and delicious! I'm still really excited about it.
Definitely try this one, guys and gals! -Sam
