MELON POMEGRANATE ALMOND SMOOTHIE



Melon Pomegranate Almond Smoothie image

You can juice pomegranates using a citrus press: Just cut the pomegranate in half and press down and twist it on the press. Be careful to wear an apron so you don't get splattered with the beautiful red juice. Half of a medium-size pomegranate will yield about 1/4 cup of juice if pressed this way. Or you can, of course, use a juicer.

WATERMELON MINT SMOOTHIE



Watermelon Mint Smoothie image

I'm always tossing watermelon with fresh mint, so I decided to see how the two would blend in a smoothie. The result is like a cross between a sweet mint tea and a watermelon agua fresca.

PEACH ALMOND SMOOTHIE



Peach Almond Smoothie image

Peaches and almonds are closely related and make a great match in this not-too-sweet smoothie. Peaches and almonds are closely related botanically, one reason why they have always made a good match in desserts and baked goods. I combined ripe summer peaches with almond milk and soaked almonds here, and also added some almond extract for additional flavor. The smoothie is further enriched with oatmeal, and only slightly sweet. You can add more agave syrup, or honey if you eat honey, if you wish. If delicious fresh peaches are no longer available, use frozen peaches.

Yield 1 generous serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons rolled oats
2 to 3 tablespoons hot or boiling water (enough to just cover the oats)
1 1/2 large ripe peaches, pitted and sliced, or 8 ounces frozen peaches

10 untoasted almonds, soaked overnight in water to cover, skinned if desired
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (to taste)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (to taste)
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons agave nectar (to taste)
3 or 4 ice cubes if using fresh peaches

Steps:

  • Combine the rolled oats and hot or boiling water in a small bowl or ramekin and leave until the oatmeal is soft, about 15 minutes.
  • Place all of the ingredients (including the soaked oatmeal) in a blender and blend at high speed for 1 minute. Serve at once.
