Deep Purple Blueberry Smoothie With Black Quinoa Recipes

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.

HOMEMADE BANANA-BERRY SMOOTHIE

You can make this smoothie year-'round because it contains frozen fruit. The ripeness of the banana is important here: if the banana is more starchy than sweet, your smoothie will taste dull. Blueberries and strawberries are packed with anthocyanadins, the antioxidant compounds that give them their blue and red colors, and they're a very good source of vitamin C, manganese and fiber, both soluble and insoluble. Bananas are also a very good source of vitamin C and manganese, as well as potassium, fiber and vitamin B6. Add the protein and calcium in the milk, and you've got a meal.

Steps:

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend at high speed until smooth.

Ingredients

1 heaped cup ripe mango, fresh or frozen
1 cup buttermilk or plain low-fat yogurt, or for a nondairy version almond or rice beverage
2 teaspoons mild honey, such as clover
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice (to taste)

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.
