Smoothies and intro

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am Herbvalerian, from Tyneside, UK. I have been Vegan for about

2

and a half years now and I am just getting into smoothies made in my

blender. I do a lot based around apples and soya milk, but I was

wondering if there was a way to include more rew veg. I have tried

apple with cooked beetroot which is nice.

I have also done wild blackberries but there are too many pips!

Any ideas, paricularly with fruit and veg common to UK, would be much

appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi

 

My favourite is just apple and carrot in equal amounts with a stick of celery all juiced - it is lovely.

Hi,

I haven't got a juicer, its blender ideas I am looking for really.

It is a fairly

simple jug blender with a grinder attachment.

Thanks,

I have a major sweet tooth, so this is my favorite:

 

1/2 pack soft tofu (best if its cold)

5 frozen or fresh strawberries

1 medium banana

1/2 cup frozen OJ concentrate

2 tbsp ground flax seeds

2 Ice cubes

 

I dont really know any with veggies. I do this one in the morning.

Hi,

I have also done them with tofu and bananas and ground flax. I put

ground

sesame in too.

I was partly because I realised I was not eating enough fruit that I

got into the

smoothies. We have a goverment campaign here called 5 a day, which

encourages us to eat at least 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. When

I added

up what I was eating I realised it wasnt enough. It is easy to get

more fruit in

your diet if you do fruit smoothies. But I have been mystifiied by

the US recipes

that call for Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate. We dont have frozen

fruit juices

at all in the UK. As far as I am aware anyway. I only shop at the

Co-op,

Iceland, Lidl, my greegrocers, and health food shops. They may have

it in the

bigger supermarkets. I dont like the biger supermarkets as I believe

they

gobble up all the local shops and I get too tired just walking round

them. Also

they are usually in hard to get to places and I havent got a car.

You can just use orange juice. The concentrate is just colder (being

frozen) and doent thin the smoothie. Maybe if you made some OJ ice

cubes and then left out the regular ice cubes it would have the same

effect.

 

We have the five a day thing here too. I never manage to get all my

veggies. Pretty ironic for a vegan. I do try to get a serving of raw

veggies every day though. I found this pretty cool site with tons of

vegan regipes and Im going to try some of the veggie recipes.

you may have already seen it.

There used to be a frozen orange juice in the UK but I'm afraid I can't remember what it's called. But next time you're near one of the big supermarkets, have a look in the freezer... (Unless you *really* can't/won't!)
