Guest guest Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Just to add to this, here's one I've done for a while now, both cold and hot..2 bananas, you can use frozen or room temp ones2 cups water4 t raw cocoa2-4 c raw spinach or as much greens as you can stand-I've also used kale or collards, but they have a stronger taste so usually use the spanch as I usually "force" this on my husband-lol!)stuff all into vita mix and hit both the dial and switches and blast off-load!CaitlynOn Nov 8, 2011, at 12:29 PM, A wrote: , 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! 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!Thanks again, On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 8:40 AM, Lea Ann Savage <lsavage@...> wrote: 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. The enzymes and some of the vitamins may have been denatured, but that is no different from a hot soups (and I take digestive enzymes with every meal anyway). It was SURPRISINGLY delicious! Pumpkin Pie smoothies and all smoothies with squashes or sweet potato or Avocado taste like hot puddings when blended until hot. If you don't want them hot, you could blend them until they were warm at least. When you do this you get a really smooth drink (the longer you blend, the more cell walls are popped open)!

I've been drinking green smoothies every morning ( more or less) since July, but now that the weather is colder, I'm not as keen to take out my vitamix and make a cold smoothie. I've switched to more seasonal fruits/veggies, and the only frozen thing I used was bananas, but it's still a little too cold for me. What do you guys do when the weather gets cold? We don't keep our heat on at night,so it's cold in the mornings and it will only get colder!Thanks! D. By the way, thought I would share this morning's smoothie, because it was so good!
