* 1 lb bag of frozen pineapple tidbits
* 1 banana
* 1 11oz can of mandarin oranges in light syrup
* sweetener of choice to taste

Break up banana, add sweetener of choice, add
slightly thawed pineapple (I usually put in in
the microwave for 2 min.) and can of oranges plus
the liquid in the can. Blend till smooth. for a
smoother consistency you can add water or

up with this recipe, and she likes it!

Healthy Breakfast Smoothie

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 cup soymilk (I use vanilla soymilk)
* 1/3 cup frozen berries (any!)
* 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
* 2 tablespoon extra firm tofu
* 1/2 banana
* 1 carrot, chopped
* 2 tablespoons soy protein powder

Directions:

I find this smoothie to be filling and
delicious. It’s especially quick if
you chop the carrot the night before.
Just put everything into a blender and
wait until smooth. The banana
provides the perfect amount of
sweetness, and the soy and flaxseed
add protein.

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 5 min

Fruit Smoothie

* frozen peaches
* vegan soymilk or rice milk

Directions:

Cut the frozen banana into chunks and place in the
blender. Add some milk. Blend and pour! Cold, easy,
tasty & healthy.

I usually don’t mix the fruits together. A strawberry

way to use those old brown bananas no one wants to eat.
Peel & stick in the freezer. Guaranteed cold & refreshing,
and no messing around with ice cubes!

Almond Milk

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 cup blanched, slivered or chopped almonds
* 4 cups water
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* vegan maple syrup to taste

Directions:

Put almonnds and half of the water in the blender. Blend for a good three to five
minutes. With the blender still on, add the rest of the water a little at a time, then
the vanilla and syrup. Blend another 2 minutes. Line a collander with a cheese cloth
(you can get it at a cooking store, food co-op, or even a fabric store), and pour the milk
through it. Squeeze the excess out of the almond gook in the cloth.

The gook left in the cloth makes a great facial scrub, or you can knead vegan sugar, color , and
flavor into it and treat it like candy.
