I made this for breakfast on Saturday after a really hot and humid outdoor boot camp. It was amazingly delicious and completely refreshing! Brian had a sip (that's all I would share!) and thought it was tasty, too. I tweaked the recipe just a bit:
- grape fruit - After juicing, I added both the juice and pulp, which gave it a more pronounced grape fruit flavor as well as additional fiber. I have a VitaMix, though, so I realized next time I can just peel it and throw it in whole!
- agave - I added an extra tbsp. It was a little too sour to me, probably because I used the grapefruit pulp in addition to the juice.
- banana - At the end I couldn't help myself and added 1 frozen banana in addition to the fresh one. It made it just a little creamier.
You can find the recipe (along with beautiful photos) here.
What creative basil recipes have you made?
I am going to make one later that includes (but is not limited to) blueberries, banana and basil. The 3-B Smoothie.... Will report on the outcome.
ReplyDeletethe 3-B Smoothie was very refreshing and despite using deep blue and green, the resulting color was not unappealing.
ReplyDelete-1 1/4 cup vanilla soy beverage
-1 cup frozen blueberries
-handful of basil
-1/2 or 1 (depending on size) frozen banana
-Sweetener of choice (I used two packets of Truvia)
Sounds good! I'll have to get some blueberries in the freezer and try it.
