Method - place all ingredients for each recipe into a
blender with or without extra ice blocks to taste. Blend
until smooth and creamy then serve.
*Milk - use your choice of either low fat organic milk, A2
milk, goats, soy, rice, nut or oat milk. Most recipes are also
delicious just on a base of water, with flavour and texture
contributed from the other ingredients.
Nut Milks - are easy to prepare using any nut alone or in
combination with others. Simply place 1-2 cups of soaked
nuts in a blender with 2-3 cups of filtered water and
blend on high speed until the nuts are the consistency
of very fine breadcrumbs. Strain the mixture through a
muslin lined sieve and use the resulting Nut Milk as a
drink. The remaining Nut Meal can be used as an addition
to breakfast muesli or porridge, in salads, stir fries or
incorporated into patties and croquettes (rice, veggie,
lentil etc).
Tips
 Frozen fruit makes the smoothie creamy and thick
 Different liquids give different flavours and consistency
 Use 1-1¼ cup fluid for different thicknesses depending
on preference
 Low GI fruits - blueberries, strawberries, mixed berries,
pear
 Mix the fruit for different flavours
 For weight loss - use water or low fat liquid with low
GI fruit
 To assist with muscle repair and reduce recovery time
after exercise, drink ½-1 serve of smoothie within
30 minutes after exercise. This provides the muscle
fibres with protein needed for repair and muscle
growth, and restocks the glycogen stores in muscle
 Use ½ serve of a smoothie as a high protein snack in
weight loss regimes, to help stabilise blood sugar and
minimise muscle loss - muscle burns fat
 Ice blocks make the smoothie thicker and icy cold
 Use blender or food processor to mix ingredients.
A food processor mixes in air, making the smoothie full,
fluffy and light
 Have at hand a take away smoothie container, with a
thick straw for easy drinking. Grab a quick smoothie to
drink in the car, on the way to work or before a party
(gives a feeling of fullness, which assists with avoiding
snacks)
 For weight loss regimes - have a smoothie as an
evening meal, followed by a big green salad or a bowl
of mixed vegetables for extra fibre
 Freeze any recipe to create a mousse like consistency,
enjoy with a topping of yoghurt and a sprinkle of nuts
for a delicious, healthy dessert
§
Soaked Nuts - for recipes using soaked nuts simply rinse
1-2 cups of whole raw nuts in a colander and then place
them in an airtight container filled with filtered water
overnight in the fridge, drain the next day and use in
recipes as described. If you don’t use the entire quantity,
they can be eaten as a snack, made into Nut Milks or
placed back in the fridge with a top up of fresh water.
They will keep well for several days this way. Soaked nuts
are much easier to digest.
