Thread: Soothie Recipes Anyone?

Oh my goodness! Anything really works. Buy those frozen berries, toss in with some milk and/or yogurt. You can use ANYTHING... Apples, melons, peaches, pineapples, blueberries, cherries. Adding honey always gives them a good flavor.

Below are some suggestions from Mes_T. As she says, adding spinach, I've tried it, can't even taste it.

- A frozen banana (frozen fruits are great because they give it that smoothie consistency that you might expect from an ice cream shake or something)
- A handful of frozen strawberries
- Couple of spoonfuls of flax seeds (which are very beneficial)
- A handful of spinach leaves (this gives it that green color without actually making it taste like vegetables)
- Half a cup or more of water

Actually that makes more than one cup of smoothie, but whatever, it's nice to go for seconds.

If you want it to be more filling, add some soy or regular milk instead of water.

And play with the combinations. Try carrots, apples, lettuce... When you pass that section in the grocery store, just think about the creative ways you can combine certain things.

In the past I've also added some maple syrup to make it extra sweet, but I find that it's usually not necessary.
