Borage Lemonade

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* Lemon juice (fresh squeezed is best), about a 1/4 cup (???)
* Sugar to taste (probably about two or three tbsp)
* Water
* Several medium-sized young borage leaves

Directions:

Dump all the ingredients in the blender and whir it around
for about thirty seconds, or a little more. Strain into a
glass. Borage has an interesting taste something like mint
and something like cucumbers, excellent with lemonade.

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 1 minute

Banana Date Breakfast Shake

Barely Legal Hot Chocolate

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
* 1 tablespoon brown vegan sugar (or equivalent alternative swetener)
* a dash of cinnamon
* half a cup of rice or almond milk

Directions:

Mix together dry ingredients with a fork until there are no
lumps. Add a tablespoon or two of rice or almond milk and
stir thoroughly to make a paste. Add the remainder of
the rice milk and stir until smooth. Warm over very low heat
for 20 minutes (the longer you heat it, the smoother it
gets), stirring periodically. Top up with boiling water to
make 1 cup and stir.

Caution: keep out of reach of children! If you have
heart trouble, consult your physician before drinking this!

Notes: Be careful if you try to substitute soy milk for the
rice or almond milk - some soy milks will curdle. Edensoy
Original curdles; Edensoy Extra doesn’t. I’ve been told
this recipe works well in much less time in a microwave - I
haven’t tried it myself.

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 20 min

Almond Milk

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1/2 cup raw blanched or slivered almonds

Place almonds in a blender. At high
speed add water and blend for several
minutes or until all solids are pulverized.
Add extract and sweetener if desired.
Strain through a piece of cheesecloth
or fine sieve if a thinner consistency is
desired. Chill for several hours.

Serves: 1 - 2

Frosty Tropical Fruit Drink

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 Banana - size not important
* 1 1/2 cps. Frozen strawberries - slightly thawed, use juice
* 1/2 cp. apple juice
* 1/2 cp. pineapple juice
* 1 cp. frozen orange juice concentrate
* 1-1 1/2 cps. water to thin or ice to make it like a shake

Directions:

Blend all ingredients at top speed in a blender until well-mixed.
Pour into chilled glasses just before serving.
NOTE: Most berries and fruit will work well in this recipe. Just be
sure to blend all ingredients well. I like to add frozen raspberries
on occasion.

Mango Lassi

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 cup plain soy yogurt
* 2 cups water
* 1 teaspoon rosewater (optional)
* 6 tablespoon vegan sugar
* 8 tablespoon mango pulp (best & easiest if canned)

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend for 30-60
seconds. For a thicker lassi, add more yogurt and a bit
more mango. I never concern myself with exact measures.
Also, many people like to play with the amount of vegan sugar and
mango to vary the sweetness- that is always good, but try it
this way first.

Serves: 2 & 1/2
