Smoothies

Audrey and I were having fun experimenting with different recipes for smoothies & shakes this summer. Below is a sampling of a few we made. The green one was way healthier than the ice cream shake, but both were delicious. And you really cannot taste the spinach.

GREEN SMOOTHIE
1-2 bananas
1/2 cup frozen peaches
1/2 cup frozen mango
A couple handfuls of spinach
Water & Ice as needed
Add just enough water to blend and enjoy.

BLACKBERRY SHAKES
1 pint fresh blackberries
2-4 tablespoons sugar (depending on berries sweetness)
1 pint vanilla ice cream
12 ounces pomegranate juice
1 cup milk
Combine all but a few blackberries and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until the sugar has melted and the berries are soft and just starting to break down. Cool. Then put the cooked berries, ice cream, pomegranate juice and milk in a blender and puree until thick and creamy. Pour into tall glasses and garnish with remaining berries.
