Summer Smoothie Series, #3: Easy As (Key Lime) Pie
For the third smoothie in this series, I give you a drinkable and healthy version of a popular pie enjoyed in the summertime.
Creamy, sweet and tart, this smoothie tastes just like the real thing. Enjoy the flavors of Key Lime Pie in this drink without all of the sugar, fat and guilt you feel after having a slice or two.
Treat Yo’ Self Thursday #17, (Italian) Ice Ice Baby
The Italian equivalent to a slushy, granita, a Sicilian cousin of Italian ice is a semi-frozen shaved or scraped dessert made with sugar, water and other flavorings. It has a texture that varies from coarse to smooth (depending on the region), whereas Italian Ice is more sorbet-like in texture (freezes while being mixed, like ice cream).
My version of this icy Italian treat features fresh watermelon, strawberries, lime and an unlikely pairing that makes a delicious topping to drizzle on top.
Summer Smoothie Series, #2: Mango Brûlée It On Thick
For the second smoothie in this series, I give you a creamy and delicious vegan-friendly twist on a mango lassi (sans yogurt).
Caramelized pieces of ripe mango add a rich depth of flavor, coconut milk and banana provide a much needed creaminess, lime and a pinch of cardamom brighten up and round out this dream of a drink. Salivating yet? Try it yourself!
