Smoothies & Shakes!

You will need:

  • Blender or milkshake maker
  • Knife
  • Chopping board

Ingredients:

3/4 cup milk per person

Choose from following flavours:

Chop fruit into small chunks before adding in, to ensure it doesnt splash add your flavour items first then milk:

  1. Put in half a banana and 1 Tbs honey per person
  2. 1/4 cup of mixed berries (add a scoop of frozen berry yoghurt for more flavour)
  3. 1 scoop of passionfruit frozen yoghurt with 1/2 banana
  4. 1 scoop Vanilla ice-cream, 1/2 cup of Fruit Salad (my Brother-in-laws recipe!)
  5. 1/2 banana, Tbs honey and 1/4 dates - must blend very very well

Dairy Free:

  1. 1/2 cup Fruit salad, 1/2 cup fruit juice
  2. 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, water from young coconut and some of coconut flesh
  3. Young coconut water, some of flesh and 1/2 cup fruit salad

Tips:

  • To find out more about Young Coconuts or how to cut them follow this link to Living and Raw Foods
  • To send in your fav shake and have it added to our list simply add a comment or email to cathsguide@yahoo.com.au with who to credit for recipe.
  • Young coconut water gives your shakes the creamy taste of milk without having dairy in it.
  • If you find your shake is not cold enough try freezing the fruit (not banana: becomes to hard for blenders to deal with) or adding a few ice-cubes
  • Try freezing some juice in your ice-cube tray to add to shakes
  • For dairy free if you want a bit more kick try adding lemonade - goes great with crushed pineapple!
