    5 Holiday Smoothie Recipes! plus, iPhone App Update.


    Five new Holiday Smoothie Recipes for you to enjoy! (iPhone or not!) Because this year, I’m feeling generous…

    I’m feeling generous. I originally wanted to make my five new holiday smoothie recipes into an exclusive update for those who have purchased my Smoothies! iPhone App. But I have caved.

    While I still want all you savvy iPhone users out there to download the update (which features the new recipes and a slightly modified/easier viewing format) – I also want all my loyal blog readers to be able to celebrate the holiday season by sipping these yummy, festive smoothies.

    So here ya go! Happy holidays to all the smoothie fans out there. All you straw-wielding souls who won’t let winter get between you and frozen bevie! All you rebels who come in from the cold and whip up a frosty tall glass of blended bliss. You are all my heroes. 🙂

    Here are my holiday smoothies..

    1) This frosty chocolate shake will make you feel cozy all winter long. This cocoa is ice-blended for a cool crisp flavor. Add some smores accents( like vegan marshmallows and graham cracker crumbles) on top for a special winter treat.

    Frozen Smores Icy Cocoa Shake
    vegan, makes 2 servings

    2 tablespoon vegan cocoa mix
    2 cups vanilla soy/hemp/coconut ice cream
    ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    1 cup vanilla soy milk
    ¼ cup ice cubes
    1 frozen banana (opt’l)
    garnish: vegan marshmallow and graham or gingersnap crumbles

    Blend until smooth. Pour. Garnish. Serve.

    2) This spicy-sweet-tart smoothie will give your body a boost of antioxidants. Spicy cayenne meets a hint of vanilla and dark healthy berries. Perfect as a late afternoon pick-me-up or morning energizer!..

    Spiced Blackcurrant Blitz Smoothie

    2-3 dashes of cayenne
    ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
    garnish: berries

    Blend until smooth. Pour. Garnish. Serve.

    3) Creamy coconut milk meets sweet date and spicy chai flavors. Try this festive sip when you need an energizing dessert shake.

    Coconut Chai Date Swirl Shake

    5 dates, chopped
    drizzle: 2 teaspoon date syrup
    garnish: 1 date, thinly sliced

    4) Creamy apple pie flavor in a healthy smoothie form. The yogurt adds a tart flavor that accents the crisp sweet cinnamon-apple garnish perfectly.

    5) Santa will be putting this frosty cool peppermint smoothie on the top of his list this year! Strawberries and peppermint make a pink-colored shake fit for a holiday party or after-feast treat. ..with candy cane crumbles on top!
