Lemonade

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 meyer lemon - squeezed, pulp and juice, seeds optional
* 3 rounded teaspoons of vegan sugar (in this case, teaspoon means a normal teaspoon used at a table place setting)
* cold water to fill the glass
* optional: add a bit of the lemon peel (we found this didn’t seem to affect the flavor much.)

Directions:

Combine ingredients for a single glass (~8-10 oz.).

Caveat: A meyer lemon is a bit sweeter than the “normal” kind you can
buy in the grocery store. I believe there’s a bit of sweet orange in
its family tree somewhere. We like tart lemonade. Another friend of
ours who also has a Meyer lemon tree uses a fair bit more vegan sugar than
we do.

For a gallon: (Here memory is failing a bit. The lemons were used up
a while ago.)

10 Meyer lemons (juice and pulp only), 1/2 cup vegan sugar and cold water to
complete the gallon

Caveat: It seems that leaving the seeds in the lemonade causes the
lemonade to turn bitter when it is left overnight in the fridge.

Sorry these are English units. A gallon is a bit less than 4 litres.
I’d have to look up how many grammes of vegan sugar are in a cup.

Oatmeal Milk

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 banana
* 1 cup of cooked oatmeal
* 2 cups of water

Directions:

approx. the same time as milk.

You’ve probably noticed that there isn’t any alcohol in
this. = )

Open the can of limeade and put it in the blender. Add two
cans of water and the tray of ice. Blend until smooth.
Serves 2 generously. I live in Georgia and in the summer
when it’s hot, this drink is great.

* 8 med. to large cucumbers peeled
* 2 cups water

If you don’t like the pith, then let stand, scoop off top

recovery, and my 5 month old loves it.

Directions:

Combine all in a blender and process until smooth.

*If you like a “smoothie” consistency, OMIT the ice.*

I find this is best enjoyed by a pool or when reading a
really trashy novel. (Don’t feel guilty..You’re getting a
serving of fruit!!)

Serves: 1

A Special Smoothie

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 cup vegan soymilk (vanilla is my favorite)
* 2 oz silken tofu
* 2 cups frozen strawberries (or whatever fruit you choose, this is my fav)
* 1 tablespoon vanilla
* 2 tablespoon vegan maple syrup (or your own sweetener)

Directions:

I like to mix the soy, tofu, vanilla and syrup first to make
sure it is all blended then add the strawberries.

This is what I eat for breakfast everyday. You can switch
the fruit of your choice. It really fills you up and will
last well into lunch.

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 3 min

Vegan Jello Shots

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 cup sweet fruit juice
* 1 cup coconut rum or vodka
* 1/2 teaspoon agar powder
* 1/2 tablespoon corn starch

Directions:

Pour the juice into a microwave-safe container or
a small pot. Mix in the agar powder and let sit
for about 5 minutes. Bring the juice to a boil
in the microwave or on the stove and boil or
simmer for about 1 minute. Stir in DISSOLVED
cornstarch* and rum or vodka. Pour mixture into
about 15 to 18 shot glasses or small cups.
Refrigerate at least a few hours to let
the “jello” set. Keep refrigerated until use.

*To dissolve the cornstarch, mix it with about 1
to 2 Tbsp. COLD water.

Notes:

-The consistency is similar to gelatin-based
Jello, but a little softer, which in my opinion
slides down your throat easier.

-You can easily change the ratio of juice to
alcohol to make the shots more or less strong.
(I do not recommend making them any stronger
though - yuck!)

-When taking the shots, keep in mind they are
alcohol shots, not yummy desserts, so drink them
fast.

* Please be a responsible drinker!

Serves: 15 - 18

Preparation time: 15 min
