Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Believe it or not, I felt the same way one cold winter day (as cold as it gets in Sunny Florida) and blended a Green Smoothie until it was hot.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 One thing that I like to do is throw in some cayenne pepper. It adds a different kind of heat and has a whole pile of health benefit to boot. I also saw a recipe for blender chilli. It had beans, greens and some spices. It is interesting, though- when does a smoothie become a soup? This mornings offering:1 beet2 oranges2 large kale leaves1 (frozen) bananaChia seedsWaterAll raw and exceptionally delicious! No cayenne this AM, but it would've been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Good point, Leanne! I wondered if I would like a " hot " smoothie, or not. As I was reading your email, I had the thought that with a little oatmeal thrown in there too, it probably would be really good! I'll give it a try this week!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 We often enjoy a nice hot soup for breakfast on cold mornings! It sounds a little odd, but it doesn't have to be a savory soup-you can blend berries with rice milk, for example, and just drink it as a hot beverage. I often have cauliflower soup as my morning soup, lol. > > I'm wondering what everyone does about smoothies in the winter?

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 , I’ve been wondering the same thing about cold smoothies on a cold day. I have been thinking about adding chocolate to my smoothie and blending till warm. It seems like it would taste like a warm chocolate pudding. I haven’t tried it yet but I do add chocolate to smoothies that I have experimented with that don’t taste all that great. Chocolate makes anything good. I could eat an old tennis shoe if it was dipped in chocolate! A From: Diggs Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 12:00 PM Subject: Re: Winter Smoothies? Good point, Leanne!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 This is the only oatmeal based smoothie I've tried so far and it was delicious (not a hot smoothie though). Blueberry maple syrup smootie - 1/4 cup rolled oats - 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt - 1/2 cup frozen blueberries - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or molasses - 1 cup milk (low-fat or soy) - 1 tbsp of chia seed Does anybody else have any more oatmeal based smoothie recipes?

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I love cauliflower soup. I make it with chicken stock and cheddar cheese. When in the bowl I top it with some Point Reyes Blue Cheese. Slurp! Of course, it's probably the Point Reyes. <g> Terry - ill send my recipe later when I am on the computer.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi Debbie, Regarding the enzymes - I change brands each time (and buy at the local Health Food Store) so that I can get a different mix of enzymes. I don't focus too much on the enzymes - take them a lot like an insurance policy :-) If I were focusing on enzymes here are two well known companies:http://www.enzymestuff.com/ This one teaches you everything you ever wanted to know about Enzymes!This is an expensive brand, but often used as a cancer treatment. It is a proteolytic enzyme (meaning it digests proteins).http://www.buywobenzym.com/SFNT.html?gclid=CKSQl-KcqKwCFQ8q7AodqSjpZAHope this helps!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I keep my cauliflowr soup very simple, but it is so rich and creamy that you would never know it. Everyone who has ever tasted it has raved over it. I just steam cauliflower in my steamer (I steam a whole head at once and store it in portion sizes in mason jars in the fridge, so it is on hand all the time) I just put the steamed cauli in the VM with just a splash of water, rice milk, cream, or broth (only enough liquid to get it churning-I rely on the cauli itself to keep it nice and thick and rich) I add a pinch of sea salt and buzz it on high until it is hot and steamy, then add in a handful of shredded homemade cheddar cheese. I also sprinkle a little extra cheese on top of it when it is in the bowl or mug. I sometimes add a little fresh rosemary, but more often I prefer just the taste of the cauli and cheese-simple and delicious! Stays with you for a long time. I usually dunk some homemade rice crackers in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thanks for this . Had some cauliflower in fridge, left from a couple of nights ago. Put it in the VM with some milk, hawaiian sea salt and white pepper. I added a little konjac powder and chia seeds to help thicken & for extra protein. Buzzed it till hot then added a handful of cheddar cheese and blended till smooth. Put it into a soup mug with a little red hawaiian sea salt on top...so pretty and delicious.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yours sounds wonderful, Carol! Where do you get your red Hawaiian Sea salt? I haven't seen a source for that in years!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 It was wonderful...I only wish I had more cauliflower left over, LOL. Got a set of 4 finishing salts from QVC and the Alaea Hawaiian is my favorite, I think. It's a deep redish/brown in the jar but definitely red when you grind it. The jar says the red color comes from the hawaiian clay (Alaea) Here is the link: http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.M25331.desc.Gou\ rmet-Nut-4-Sea-Salt-Collection-for-Blue-Jean-Chef.cm_scid.zone If link doesn't work, go to QVC and search 'salt' ----------------------------------------- Where do you get your red Hawaiian Sea salt?

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Roasted cauli soup is lucious! You can also do a blend of roasted veggies for an interesting soup. I sometimes roast veggies in my solar oven and then blend the leftovers into soup. Cream of roasted turnip soup is rather interesting too, but needs a little cutting with a sweet roasted carrot, as it can be a bit sharp. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Great soup! I didn't have cauliflower so I used broccoli instead with a splash of organic no sodium chicken broth and used fat free shredded cheddar cheese. It came out awesome!From: Lea Ann Savage <lsavage@...> Sent: Wednesday, November 9, 2011 5:21 PMSubject: Re: Re: Winter Smoothies?
