Green Smoothies with a Twist and a Bean Smoothie

I made Green Smoothies, not to drink, but to eat! First up, the most delicious Green Smoothie Salad Dressing. You absolutely must make this. It’s my most favorite salad dressing ever. This is adapted from a recipe from Austin’s own nutritionist and raw foods chef, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo. (She has free e-recipe books you can download from her site.)

Creamy Green Smoothie Salad Dressing

Makes about 2-1/2 cups

Ingredients:
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
(or an apple, something for sweetness)
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
2 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
¼ cup chopped cilantro (or dill or basil or herb of your choice)
juice of half a lime or lemon
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1 teaspoon vinegar
½ cup water

Directions:
Blend altogether in a blender until smooth and creamy.




It’s so good because (a) it’s got avocado (and cilantro!), (b) it’s beautiful, and (c) the cayenne comes through just every few bites to make you go, Hey, that was nice!

I’ve been eating tons of salads using my fresh greens. One thing about beets – even though they are not my favorite veggie, I sure do love beet greens in my salads. Most of my salads have looked similar to this, using red leaf lettuce, arugula, amaranth greens, beet greens, and sunflower sprouts.


I put plenty of Green Smoothie Dressing on them.



My second green smoothie went into my ice cream maker. This is also adapted from Dr. Ritamarie’s recipe for Tropical Green Smoothie.

Ingredients:
1 mango, peeled and chopped
1 small papaya, peeled and chopped
1 banana, peeled and chopped
1-20 ounce can crushed pineapple in its own juice
3 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
(I meant to add in some coconut extract and fresh ginger, but forgot.)

Directions:
Blend the fruit in a blender until smooth. (Add in flavorings, if desired.) Add in the spinach a cup at a time and blend until smooth. Put into an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions.

I know these ingredients aren’t very precise, so I took a picture of what I used so you could see about how big the fruit was that I used.



This amount was a bit too much for my 1-1/2 quart Cuisinart. I would recommend removing about a cup of the blended mixture before adding it to your ice cream maker. You can enjoy it unfrozen in anticipation of the ice cream you’ll make the next day. Or you can just drink it all!



I know, I know, it looks a lot like the dressing. It was beautiful with chopped strawberries on top, but my pictures were blurry.

Greens are supposed to diminish your sweet tooth, but they don’t stop the out-of-control chocolate cravings I’ve had lately. This led me to a new pudding, since I don’t seem to tolerate the chia pudding. I made a quick personal pudding with date puree and it hit the spot.

Emergency Cocoa Date Pudding for One

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons date puree
2 tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
stevia powder if needed to sweeten
sliced strawberries for garnish

Directions:
Mix together and enjoy.



I eat lots of beans. Lots of beans every day. They are my protein since I can’t eat tofu or seitan. I have been so happy to find recipes for quiche and brownies made with pureed beans instead of tofu. In my neverending quest for new bean recipes, I happened to find a bean smoothie. I didn’t really like the original fruity recipe, so I came up with chocolaty version that’s darn tasty.

Bean Smoothie

Makes 2 servings

Ingredients:
¾ cup white beans, any variety (half of 15-oz. can)
½ cup nondairy milk
1 banana
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 packet stevia powder (1 t?)
dash cinnamon
10 to 12 ice cubes

Directions:
Mix all ingredients except ice in a blender until smooth. Add in ice cubes a few at the time and blend again.


Like the brownies, you can’t tell it’s made with beans. I’m going to do a lot more experimenting with this recipe and there is definitely a bean ice cream in my future.


What a healthy post this was! I sure hope you’ll at least try the Green Smoothie Dressing and let me know if you like it as much as I do.

whoa yum! i donno why i've never tried a bean smoothie--it's really no diff than putting tofu in a smoothie, which i do all the time!

Noodlegirl said...

OH I am definitely like to try that dressing one of these days!

ACH said...

Ooh! I've tried similar brownies before, but never the smoothie...I can't wait until I have 1/2 a can of beans to try it out!

Julie Livermore said...

MMM, the salad dressing looks good! Not sure about the bean smoothie though...sure it tastes okay, sounds funny! Now a chocolate banana smoothie...my kids think those are chocolate shakes!!!!

Hannah said...

What interesting ideas, especially that bean smoothie! I like the thought of adding extra protein, fiber, and creaminess all in one go like that- I'll have to try it soon.

MeloMeals said...

I love beans so much too! (I've actually been developing so many recipes using them.. they are so cheap and easy to use in different ways..

Love the green smoothie dressing!

Sindy said...

Brilliant! I've been drinking green smoothies for a while, but haven't gotten this creative! Love the bean smoothie- great way to eat your beans!

Anonymous said...

That chocolate bean smoothie sounds delicious. We have been eating a lot of beans recently since they don't sell meat substitutes or seitan down here. They do sell dry soy meat, but that gets old really quickly. I think E. gets tired of beans, but I could eat them every day.

As always, thanks for the ideas!

Jes said...

I'd have never thought of making a bean smoothie! So intriguing!

Krundsdogs said...

I love your post. The smoothies sounds wonderful and a great way to eat more veggies and fruits. I drink smoothies every morning, never thought of making them for a salad or as a frozen treat. I think the bean smoothie would be great as ice cream.

Virginia said...

wow a bean smoothie! now i have heard it all! great idea!

Anonymous said...

So I am definitely going to try the bean smoothie. I haven't set eyes on a recipe like that before! It sounds awesome!

sarah marie said...

Love your blog! The smoothie salad dressing looks great... I'm going to try it, but I'm thinking I'll add a little peanut butter for a peanut-cilantro dressing... seems like it would be delish; what do you think? And the bean smoothie I am definitely going to try!

Alisa - Frugal Foodie said...

Blender madness! Talk about creative. I suppose tofu is from a bean too, so the addition isn't too far fetched :)

Anonymous said...

Ok, this is just a primo-healthy post! You're such an inspiration - I really want to try these dressings/smpothies, and while I can eat tofu and seitan, I don't eat them very often - try to stay as whole foodish as I can, so bring on the beans!

jessy said...

totally gonna have to try your creamy green smoothie salad dressing, Diann! it’s packed with all kinds of awesome! i never thought to enjoy beet greens raw – i’ll be having them in a salad tonight! thanks! i had no idea greens were supposed to diminish your sweet tooth – they’re not helping mine either! ahahahaa! totally gonna try your cocoa date pudding – it sounds perfect with strawberries & looks absolutely divine! mmmmmmmm! hooray for beans, too! yay!

Kris said...

Wow, what a delicious post! Your salads look wonderful and I love how vibrantly green your ice cream looks. I love the idea of beans in a smoothie...

Anonymous said...

Whoa.

VeganWoman said...

The bean smoothie is intriguing! Not sure I could do it but it is worth a try! Love the salad dressing, very interesting!

Bianca said...

Bean smoothies! That sounds great! White beans are so versatile. And the dressing...OMG!

Carrie said...

Avocado makes me ill, but I love the looks of that date pudding!!

Krista said...

Wow, everything sounds so neat - very different concoctions. I love the idea of a green salad dressing and a healthy green ice cream! Yum!

Andrea said...

The green stuff (especially the salad dressing) sounds great and the date pudding, too. BUT, I don't think I could drink a smoothie knowing there were beans in it! I can't put tofu in a smoothie either. And I'm a big consumer of beans. I did try to make a dessert from aduki beans once and it was ... not good.

Oraphan said...

Oh, wow! Everything looks wonderful. I love them all and can't wait to make the green dressing and the bean smoothie. Thanks for such great recipes.=D

A_and_N said...

i've never tried a savory smoothie before but thhe green color sure looks nice!

i am also apprehensive about adding beans to the smoothie. somehow i cant imagine the savory/salty taste of the beans with the sweetness of milk and bananas. but this is a great way to pack some proteins!

Catherine Weber said...

Everything looks so healthy and fresh. Yum!

I'm really wishing I had a big, hokin' blender right now! My Bamix just isn't cutting it these days . . . !!!

Anonymous said...

Wow. I love all the green food. I will have to try the dressing. Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Jenni (aka Vegyogini) said...

Ooh, I can hardly wait to try that bean smoothie...yum!

Meghan (Making Love In The Kitchen) said...

Huge fan of the green smoothies but I have ever thought to add the beans to a smoothie. Brilliant idea- great source of protein and fibre and adds a little heartyness. Great to replace nuts once in a while. Thanks for the inspiration!

Mihl said...

That dressing sounds heavenly!

Meghan said...

yum! i just might try that dressing.
your pictures are looking good these days too.
awesome!

Macie said...

Bean smoothies!? Sounds crazy enough to be yummy! :)

Monique a.k.a. Mo said...

You are killing me! I would eat that salad dressing like soup. It looks that good. Everything is amazing.

artsycraftsyivy said...

I absolutely love your blog--your use of beans is inspirational. I tried making the bean smoothie but the cocoa powder left a chalky taste in our mouths. I wonder if I could use chocolate syrup instead and wonder if I could leave out the banana.

aTxVegn said...

Ivy, thanks so much! I absolutely think chocolate syrup instead of cocoa and banana would work. Do let me know! I am such a cocoa fiend it would never seem chalky to me, but I understand how it could seem that way to others. Thanks for visiting!

[color=#006699]Howdy

With the increase in popularity of facebook poker chips as a virtual currency in facebook texas holdem poker many thieves have engaged themselves, who try their best to trick unsuspecting players out of their hard earned facebook poker chips. All over the internet forums are littered with posts by innocent people who have had their poker chips stolen. Nothing is as sorry state as logging to Facebook or MySpace to play a few hands of poker only to find that your account is hacked and your poker chips are gone.[/color]

[url=http://www.chipshut.com][img]http://www.chipshut.com/img/facebook-poker-chips-hut.jpg[/img][/url]

[color=#006699]Follow these tips to keep your facebook poker chips safe:

Never give your password to a stranger: Trust is a delicate thing that takes a long time to build but only second to destroy. You may meet a pretending star in poker room and you are friends with him/her. He/she will keep interacting with you days before playing her trick. So be carefull enough to protect your login credentials to yourself, else this may lead to disaster.

Be careful about what you download: Regular online gamers are looking for cheats or hacks for the games they play in order to give them an edge on their opponents. Poker is no different and there are plenty of sites on the internet giving free downloads for facebook poker cheats and hacks for those brave enough to download and install them. But many of these so called facebook poker cheats have viruses or trojan programs. The moment you install any of these your computer is at the risk of attacks by the creator of the program. He can then have access to vital information that you access from your computer. Leaving your facebook poker account at risk of been hacked. If you never downloaded any of these programs then you’re probably safe, and if you have then you should run a spyware detection program. The best move will be for get your computer formatted to avoid any loop holes.

Phishing Links: This way of hacking has been thee for quite sometime now. Phishers send legitimate and official looking emails to your inbox. When you open them you are asked to click on the link and login in order to save your account or win free facebook poker chips, but in reality you are logging into a fake site that sends your information off to the phisher who made it. Before you find it out, its too late to react and they would have already broken into your account and emptied it of any facebook poker chips that you may have.

YouTube scams: If you do a search on youtube for facebook poker cheats, zynga poker hacks, or free facebook poker chips you’ll find hundreds of videos on the topic. More than 90% of them are made by idiots hoping to convince you to send them your account information. They range from slightly clever to completely moronic.

Image Photo Having Exe Embedded In it: This one is hard to catch. This is the latest fashion that is used by scammer, you will be asked to share family photo's. When you open their photo, that will innitiate an exe in the background which will steal all your information and send to the mastermind behin it. So be careful with whom you share photos.

Hope these tips help you saving your chips.

[quote]TOKYO – Nearly a half million people in Japan were ordered to higher ground on Sunday, as coastal areas across the vast Pacific region braced for lethal tsunami waves. But only small waves appeared, and there were no reports of damage.

Areas ranging from Sydney, Australia, to the Russian Far East to the Hawaiian islands conducted evacuations and warned residents to be on the lookout for large waves following the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that devastated parts of Chile on Saturday. The Asia-Pacific region waited in suspense for almost 24 hours, the time that scientists predicted it would take shock waves from the powerful earthquake to race across the ocean in the form of massive waves.

But the predicted time of impact came and went, with only waves of up to 10 centimeters reported near Tokyo and of up to 90 centimeters further north along the Japanese coast. The same was true across the region, where officials breathed an almost audible sigh of relief.

“Luckily, these waves are far smaller than the agency’s forecast,” said Kazuaki Ito, director of the Information Institute of Disaster Prevention, a Tokyo-based non-profit group that advises on natural disasters.

The tsunami warning was lifted in Hawaii on late Saturday after waves of about 1.5 meters were sighted, without any apparent damage. Beaches were briefly cleared of swimmers, and tourists were sent to upper floors of hotels. But nations further west left their alerts in place for much of Sunday, even after waves proved small, in case of additional tsunamis triggered by the huge Chilean temblor.

Nations took the warning seriously in a region where raw memories remain of the deadly December 2004 tsunami in the neighboring Indian Ocean that killed nearly 230,000 people in 14 countries.

Some of the biggest preparations were taken by Japan, where meteorological agency officials issued the nation’s first major tsunami warning in 17 years. They initially said they expected walls of water up to 3 meters, or 9 feet, high.

In Tokyo, train lines and highways in densely populated areas along the edge of Tokyo Bay were stopped for hours. Further north, officials said they ordered the evacuation of some 570,000 households from coastal areas mostly on the main Japanese island of Honshu, a areas that has seen killer tsunamis in the past.

Television news programs showed elderly residents in Iwate prefecture sitting on blankets in school gyms that had been turned into makeshift shelters. In the hilly port city of Hakodate, on the northernmost island of Hokkaido, residents sat on hilltops for hours on Sunday watching the sea.[/quote]

I was watching on & off the MSNBC coverage and frankly not impressed with their 'scare' tactic coverage - based on scientific fact and investigation the after-effects would be obvious but hey what's with checking things first these days.... granted the potential for loss of life was there but could news channels act again like news channels - reporting the facts not paranoia & spreading fear.....plus I don't want to hear at the end of it all "Thank God he saved us"....if you believe that surely God caused it in the first place too...

What do you think about all these tsunamis thing?
