VANILLA-FRUIT SMOOTHIE



Vanilla-Fruit Smoothie image

Ninety percent of the time, I eat savory breakfasts. But I don't like to impose my will on others (at least not early in the morning), so when there are guests, I tend to make smoothies. I'm a big believer in frozen fruit, especially off season; it's much more flavorful than, say, Chilean peaches.

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups soy, rice or almond milk, or silken tofu, or yogurt
1/2 cup apple or orange juice or water, or as needed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, or a couple of slices of peeled ginger, or a little honey or maple syrup, all optional
1/2 frozen banana, optional
2 cups unsweetened frozen fruit: peaches, cherries, blueberries, pineapple or just about anything else

Steps:

  • Combine everything in a blender. Pulse the machine, then turn it on and purée until smooth. If you're not getting enough action, add juice or water a little at a time until the machine gets a grip. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients: Cold ingredients will make a smoother and more refreshing smoothie. If you don't have time to chill your ingredients ahead of time, you can add a few ice cubes to the blender.
  • Don't over blend the smoothie: Over blending can make the smoothie too thin and watery. Blend the smoothie just until the ingredients are combined and smooth.
  • Add a sweetener to taste: If you find the smoothie is too tart, you can add a sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to taste.
  • Garnish the smoothie: Garnish the smoothie with a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cocoa powder, or a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Vanilla horchata smoothie is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and nutty aroma, vanilla horchata smoothie is a surefire hit with everyone who tries it.
