Spiked Weekend Smoothie Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the water, honey and vanilla bean pod in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer for 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the vanilla to infuse into the honey. Remove the vanilla pod and allow the mixture to cool completely, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a blender, combine some of the vanilla honey with the yogurt, mint and 1/2 tray of frozen coconut water cubes, or more for desired consistency. Puree until smooth, then pour into glasses and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a blender, blend the gelato, coffee and liqueur. Divide the milkshake between 2 mugs. Top with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Divide among glasses.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut off the top of the pineapple. Run a knife around the inside of the pineapple about ½-inch from the outer skin. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the pineapple. Cut the inside of the pineapple into 6-8 wedges. Using a large spoon, wiggle the wedges loose from the bottom and scoop out of the pineapple shell. Wrap the pineapple shell in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the pineapple flesh into 1-inch pieces and spread on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze for 4 hours, or until frozen solid.
• Scoop 1 cup of frozen pineapple chunks into a blender. Transfer the rest to a freezer bag and store in the freezer for another use.
• To the blender, add the rum, coconut milk, lime juice, agave, salt, and frozen mango. Blend until smooth.
• Pour the drink into the pineapple shell, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
