Blood Orange Smoothie With Grapes And Red Quinoa Recipes

BLOOD ORANGE SMOOTHIE WITH GRAPES AND RED QUINOA

I had never considered using red grapes in a smoothie until I began working on pairing fruit with grains in this week's Recipes for Health. Red grapes and red quinoa are a perfect match. I used blood orange juice as the liquid and sweetened it with a bit of pomegranate molasses. As the mixture was whirling in the blender it occurred to me that a small handful of kale would be welcome; it would darken the color slightly and contribute all that kale has to offer without distorting the sweet/tannic flavor of the drink. The second time I made the smoothie I froze the grapes, which is a great idea. Then you won't have to dilute the flavors with ice.

STRAWBERRY, MILLET AND BANANA SMOOTHIE

Whenever you find sweet, ripe strawberries buy twice what you need and hull and freeze half of them. I freeze them in small freezer bags, one smoothie portion per bag. You can also use commercial frozen strawberries for this nourishing mix of fruit, millet, cashews and kefir. I have gotten into the habit of soaking a small amount of cashews and almonds in water and keeping them in the refrigerator to use in smoothies. For a vegan version substitute almond milk for the kefir, and if you can't find plain kefir, use yogurt or buttermilk.

DEEP PURPLE BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE WITH BLACK QUINOA

My idea for this week's Recipes for Health was to match grains and fruit by color and make nourishing smoothies. For this one I could have also used any of the black or purple rices on the market, such as Alter Eco's purple jasmine rice, Lotus Food's Forbidden Rice or Lundberg Black Japonica. I happened to have a full bag of black quinoa in the pantry, so that's what I went for and it worked beautifully. You can also use fresh blueberries for this, but when they are not in season, frozen will do fine and will eliminate the need for ice cubes.

MIXED BERRY AND BEET SMOOTHIE

The color alone is enough to make me crave this smoothie. The color also tells me that it's high in anthocyanins, flavonoids that are believed to have strong antioxidant properties. You can use raw or roasted beets.

To peel orange segments, we like to use a sharp knife to carefully remove the peel, then separate into segments with a knife or by hand. The main objective is to remove as much of the white pith as possible to maximize orange flavor and downplay bitterness. Remove any visible seeds as well.
Add peeled orange segments to a plate or baking sheet and freeze (at least 1 hour, preferably overnight).
Add frozen orange segments to a high-speed blender (or small blender) along with dairy-free milk, collagen, lime juice, and salt. Blend on high until creamy and smooth, adding more dairy-free milk as needed to blend into a creamy, pourable texture.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lime juice to balance the sweetness, coconut milk for creaminess, or salt to taste. It should be plenty sweet (if not, blend in a little honey, stevia, or maple syrup to taste).
