Veggie Smoothies? Can They Taste Great?
The Margaritaville DM2000 can automatically make 1, 2, or 3 smoothies for you. Read about it here.
This is a version of an article we have published in various ezines and blogs. Bloggers: Reprint “Veggie Smoothies” yourself.
Would you consume something cool, frosty even, and Emerald City green? Whether your initial reaction is “Yuck!” or “Just can’t wait!” you may be in for a shock at the beautiful vegetable smoothies you can make.
As a rather extreme example, think about wheatgrass. You put your home-grown wheatgrass into your Omega vrt330 juicer and get this beautiful emerald fluid. If you are of the “Yuck” persuasion, you may hold your nose and chug the juice. You appreciate it is loaded with nutrients, micro-nutrients, anti-oxidants, etc., etc. That’s why you consume it, but you are not an admirer of the taste. Stick that juice in a smoothies maker like the Margaritaville Fiji frozen concoction machine, fill the ice hopper, select “Smoothie” in the dial and press “GO”. In seconds, that slightly harsh, extremely concentrated greenness has actually become a frosty, milder infusion you linger over. Even the wheatgrass juice aficionados appreciate the variety a smoothie affords.
Just as you might use a salad dressing on a tossed salad, you can easily include something to juice to make the smoothie tastier. By having a juicer like the Omega vrt330 or the Breville BJE510XL you have all the variety of the universe to take advantage of as the base for your smoothie. Vegetables with a touch of fruit can be extremely low-calorie while maintaining natural sweetness. Including the shaved ice flawlessly blended into restaurant-quality smoothness, a smoothie offers you an excellent breakfast-time start, or an end-of-the-day relaxer sans liquor.
Try out this Red Wonder Smoothie–Juice 3 carrots, 1 cored apple, 1 cucumber, 1 beet, 1 stalk of celery, and a small piece of ginger root. Pour into the smoothies maker pitcher, fill the ice hopper, set the appliance to “smoothie”, and press “GO”. In seconds, the bright red juice turns a charming pink. The taste of the juice–dominated by the earthy beet–will mellow. Sipping this will definitely leave you in the pink.
The advantage of juicers are their flexibility–you can combine practically anything. (Beware not to mix too many things at a time, however, or you get a muddy taste, as well as a muddy color.) Think about adding a bit of sour cream or plain yoghurt to a veggie juice smoothie, especially one heavy on cucumbers. If you have a fruit juice with a little vegetable undertone–oranges, pineapple, and a sweet yam–you may desire to employ some vanilla yoghurt, or perhaps ice creams. Do not forget, herbs can go into the liquids and will definitely jazz up the smoothies. The various mints are sure fire additives. Basil might really perk up that cucumber/sour cream smoothie. The world of tastes lie at your fingertips as you push the easy-operating switches of juicers and smoothies makers.

That means, if someone clicks on the link and makes a purchase, the vendor pays me something out of their advertising budget. I’d be a fool not to. If the product isn’t excellent, I won’t include a link; I probably won’t mention it at all.
