RHUBARB SMOOTHIES AND SHAKES



Rhubarb Smoothies and Shakes image

A verstatile rhubarb sauce that is good to keep in the refrigerator to whirl with fruit and milk or frozen yogurt for a fast breakfast on the run. Recipe for a Pick-a-Fruit Rhubarb milkshake, using this rhubarb base, is included. Delicious with the strawberry option and the ice cream addition for a thick shake. Edited with twissis' excellent tips: The base mix cooks down to a volume of about 3 cups which would provide 6 servings. For each shake use 1/2 cup base mix, 3/4 cup strawberries or other fruit, and 1/2 cup ice cream (no milk). Thanks to Twissis for these refined directions for using the base mix.

RHUBARB SHAKE



Rhubarb Shake image

A combination of rhubarb compote, honey, yogurt and rosewater, this is unusual shake works either for dessert or as a sweet mid-afternoon snack. Keep in mind that the redder your rhubarb, the rosier the shake. If you can only find green stalks, add a few strawberries to the pot to brighten things up. You can make the compote a week ahead, but don't blend the shake until just before serving. It will separate if left to sit out for more than ten minutes or so.
