Delicious Healthy Acai Dandelion Radicchio Pear Banana Smoothie

Purple deliciousness is just waiting for you! Another green smoothie delight that tastes like dessert! Today I poked around the kitchen and found enough organic items to make a smoothie. I was out of kale so I added some Green Magma powder instead. Lots of natural protein and super-foods in this smoothie! You can always adjust items to your preference and to what you have on hand. If you are afraid of the dandelion and radicchio being too bitter... don't worry as you will not even taste them. Yet they are still in there with their magical super powers helping your body to be healthier!

Acai Dandelion Radicchio Pear Banana Smoothie

1 cup Coconut water

2 TB fresh ground flax powder

2-3 Tsp chia seeds

2 TB hemp seeds

1 TB sunflower seeds 

1 Tb pumpkin seeds

1 TB Green Magma powder

1 capsule of Curcumin or 1/2 Tsp of Turmeric

1 Tsp Ceylon Cinnamon

2 shakes of Allspice

1 peeled banana

1 pear

handful of dandelion greens

3- 4 leaves of small Radicchio

1 frozen Sambazon Acai smoothie packet

I threw in some blackberries and blueberries from bags that were 

almost empty in the freezer too. About 1/2 of a cup total.

Put items listed above into blender in the order shown. Blend on high till mixed. Pour and enjoy. 

Don't forget to clean your blender by putting water in the pitcher and running it on high. Then you will just have to do a quick wipe down to clean up! If you are making smoothies before leaving the house just fill the pitcher with water, and finish clean up when you come home later. Heading out on the road? Put your smoothie in a mason jar or other BPA free travel mug.

I put a mason jar of this Acai purple smoothie in the fridge for my hubby to enjoy when he came home from his gig a few hours later. He loved it!

My yummy smoothie was attacked by elephants! Be happy! Be healthy! Be peace!

Holiday Spice Berry Green Smoothie

Royal purple is one of my favorite colors, so at first I almost called this smoothie the 'Purple People Eater.' Then I thought the youngins' would not get the reference, and they would assume the name had something to do with the unsettling modern craze for zombie everything. With a smoothie name like that, it would have been a better post for Halloween. Instead since I have always been a purple person, I named this spicy berry smoothie for those of us who love all shades of purple. Although sometimes sports teams ruin it for me, since the color purple should not have giant numbers and names pasted all over it. No. Imagine the royal color on gorgeous Renaissance brocades, silks, and velvety fabrics... or upon purple mountains majesty.... in sparkling giant geodes of amethyst... waving in huge fields of french lavender... or in a tall delicious spicy berry smoothie. Yes the Queen is positively passionate about Royal Purple people!

I also love how purple and rust go together. That gorgeous color combo even works with antioxidant rich healthy smoothie foods... such as blackberries, blueberries, and the earthy colors of these spices! Did you know that some of the healthiest of spices are already in your holiday kitchen? True. No sense in letting that allspice and cloves sit on the pantry shelf most of the year when they could be fighting inflammation in your body dear purple people! That is why I wanted to highlight adding these tasty scented spices to your smoothies at any time of the year. If you got it... use it baby!




Check out how in the video above and the links provided how consuming spices like turmeric, cloves, allspice, and ginger, can affect your health. (Although you must keep in mind to never add more than a pinch of nutmeg to your foods. It can be toxic when over used.) It's so simple to get more antioxidant goodness in your everyday foods by adding in even a small amount of familiar spices! Got to love that!

Let's get to today's smoothie! As always you can use what organic produce you have on hand. Just make sure your smoothie contains some potent greens. When using organic fruit there is never any need to ever add any sweeteners. It will be naturally sweet enough!

A Spicy 'Purple People' Smoothie

6 oz. Coconut Water

2 tsp Hemp seeds

2 tsp Chia

2 Tbs Ground Flax Seed

2 tsp Sesame seeds

1/8 tsp Allspice

1/4 tsp Ginger

1/8 tsp Cloves

1/2 tsp Ceylon Cinnamon only

1/4 tsp Turmeric

Small handful Pea Sprouts

1 Cucumber

Handful Lettuce Greens or Romaine

1/2 cup Blackberries (organic frozen okay)

1/2 cup Blueberries (wild organic frozen okay)

1 Banana

1 Kiwi

1 Pear

Optional

Dr. Fuhrman Vitamin D3 drops

Dr. Fuhrman DHA/EPA drops

2 tsp Green Magma powder
1 Tb Gogi berries

As always most ingredients should be organic. Place these healthy ingredients into your VitaMix or high speed blender. Blend per your machine's instructions. Be sure to let everything blend a minute or two longer than your usual smoothie making time to help break down some of those blackberry seeds. This also makes your smoothie a bit creamier anyway especially if you have a VitaMix. If you prefer to use grated ginger or turmeric root that is good too! If you have the supplement drops add them into your glass after you pour your smoothie, and then top off with a bit more smoothie. Mmmm a liquid purple salad for breakfast! Smells good. Looks beautiful! Tastes great! Get your spoons out and dig in, my playful purple people!

Be happy. Be healthy. Be peace.

'Aloe Gloe' Berry Green Morning Smoothie

Draw on the power of good whole foods every morning, and get your day started in health with greens, fruits, berries, and superfoods! I recently saw some boxed Aloe Gloe organic water at a local store, and I decided to use this instead of my usual coconut water for this week's smoothies. Although aloe is widely known for its healing abilities on burns there is so much more to its helpful powers. Aloe contains more than 200 active amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants that are clinically proven to help cardiovascular and skin health. Aloe also promotes healthy digestion and immunity. 

Now is the perfect time to get our aloe on! In the past I bought aloe leaf, and cut out a small portion of the center gel to use, as you only use a few inches of straight aloe gel in juices and smoothies. I have never had much success saving that aloe leaf gel to use another day without it going bad first. So even though fresh is best, having the aloe available in this easy to use boxed form is quite handy. After trying out this aloe product the past couple of days I can say all the morning smoothies tasted great! In addition I went to the product website for 'Aloe Gloe Organic Aloe Water' and liked what I read about the company's sustainability and relationship to its farm workers. I will certainly buy this aloe water product again so I can switch it up with the coconut water, or almond milk, that I usually use, to add more variety to my smoothie rotation. Give this product a try for yourself and see what you think. Now to the smoothie recipe pictured below.

Aloe Berry Green Smoothie

8-10 oz 'aloe gloe' water

2 TBs chia seeds

2 TBs flax powder

2 TBs hemp seeds

1 TBs unhulled sesame seeds

large handful baby spinach leaves

5 dandelion leaves

1 kiwi with skin

1 banana

1/2 cup blueberries

1/2 cup red raspberries

1 Tsp Ceylon Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Turmeric

1/4 tsp Nutmeg

All ingredients are organic. Place everything in a high powered blender till mixed into smoothie! (About 20 - 30 seconds). Share with a friend as this makes two large smoothies. Rock that morning smoothie with as much healing power as you can! Be happy, be healthy, be peace!

Got Pumpkin Leftovers From The Holidays? Make A Pumpkin Chai Green Smoothie!

After the pies, cakes, pancakes, and breads of the pumpkin filled holiday season are baked, there may be a few cans or boxes of organic pumpkin puree containers still sitting in your pantry. No worries! You can use them before their expiration date by making yourself a healthy smoothie! Pumpkin is quite nutritious and is a good source of Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin B-6, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Riboflavin, Potassium, Copper and Manganese. Being a green smoothie it is filled with a boat-load of even more nutrients and super-foods as well. No pretty orange colored froo-froo whipped cream photos of a sugar laden mess with this real food Pumpkin Chai Green Smoothie. We deal in nutrient dense foods here at The Queens Table and we are keeping it real, healthy ... and green. This is your morning liquid salad after all! A Pumpkin Chai green smoothie is super yummy and smelly good! Give yourself a bit of soothing heavenly aromatherapy with this spicy green smoothie that will remind you of pumpkin pie!

When it comes to the canned or boxed pumpkin, be sure not to use that standard old processed foods canned pie mix pumpkin with those extra ingredients that must be cooked. Use the straight up "pumpkin only" cans and boxes to add to your healthy green smoothie. Hopefully the leftover pumpkin is organic. 

Healthy Pumpkin Chai Green Smoothie

6 - 8 oz organic pumpkin puree

1 cup organic coconut milk or almond milk

1 TB Ceylon cinnamon

1/2 tsp cardamom

1/4 tsp turmeric

1/8 tsp cloves

1/4 tsp nutmeg 

1/4 tsp ginger

1/8 tsp allspice

1-2 tsp vanilla extract

1 TB maple syrup or 1 Tb palm sugar

4-5 Romaine lettuce leaves (or handful of salad greens or

small handful baby spinach leaves)

1/2 cucumber peeled

2 Tb hemp seeds

1 Tb chia seeds

2 TB fresh ground flax powder

1-2 bananas

pumpkin seeds

Optional

small handful dandelion greens

pea sprouts

alfalfa sprouts
1 kiwi

2 pitted soaked Medjool dates

Gather together your sweet aromatic spices and mix together. As with any smoothie it is about what fresh greens you have on hand, go ahead and use kale or chard if that is what you have in the fridge. Since pumpkin is not a strong flavor I decided to use lettuce and cucumber since they are mild tasting and would not overpower the pumpkin. Always be fearless, creative, and play with your ingredients! It's all good! Wash your greens and produce. Add the liquid ingredients first to your high powered blender, then add everything else. Blend till mixed well. Taste for any needed adjustment to spices. What reminds you of spiced chai and pumpkin pie? Then put more of that spice in your mix! It's your creation! 

Serve your pumpkin chai smoothie in a mug instead of the usual tall glass to give it that old fashioned spiced chai tea feel. I think you will definitely be getting a green mustache and licking your lips after drinking this one! Perhaps a big spoon may be needed to enjoy this creamy green smoothie mixture as well. Okay, okay, add fresh whipped topping if you must!

I garnished my thick and nutrient rich cup-o-smoothie with cinnamon and pumpkin seeds. 

After emptying those pumpkin containers from your pantry say goodbye to this sweet squash until next fall... when pumpkin madness will be in season again! Yum!

Mango Kiwi Watercress Green Smoothie

Imagine a glass of this thick drippy wildness to begin your morning! It's a mess-o-fun that's finger licking good, start to finish! A great big nutrient dense way to start off your day! Get your greens on with a rich and creamy super foods smoothie everyday! Yum! So easy to create!

Mango Kiwi Watercress Green Smoothie

1/2 to 1 cup Coconut water

2 Tbs. Chia seeds

2 Tbs. Hemp seeds

2 1/2 Tbs. Fresh ground golden Flax seeds

1 tsp. Sesame seeds

1 tsp. Ceylon Cinnamon

1/4 tsp Turmeric

1/4 tsp Nutmeg

2 Tbs. Coconut shreds

1 Tsp Flax Oil

Very small handful Watercress

Small handful Dandelion and/or Kale

Small handful Pea and/or Alfalfa Sprouts

1 cup Mango (can be fresh or frozen)

1 -2 Kiwi with skin if organic

1 Banana

1/2 Avocado

All the fresh produce I used to create this green smoothie is organic, so there are none of the added toxins you get from conventional fruits and greens. Did you know that kiwi has more vitamin C than oranges, and that watercress is a cancer fighter? Organic whole foods are powerful. The skin of the kiwi is good for you, so if you purchased organic kiwi, cut off the ends and do not peel the nubby skin. Slice the kiwi and add to blender. Watercress is a bit spicy, so don't overdo adding the watercress leaves. Just a little and you will not notice the strong flavor at all. Fresh ground flax powder seems to also be a cancer fighter, so I always include it in my daily morning green smoothie mixture. Avocado is a good fat, and adding it into the fiber of the greens in this smoothie is a great combo for your health. Plus all the seeds and spices included within this smoothie do fantastic things for your body too! I store my chia, hemp, fresh ground flax seeds, and sesame seeds in the refrigerator. Let's make a super smoothie!

Add all the green smoothie ingredients in the order of the list above to a good blender. Blend for 15-30 seconds into your own thick and creamy super smoothie. Makes two glasses. Share the green love. 

Optional: You can add your Vitamin D drops, or omega filled DHA/EPA drops to your glass if you are taking these supplements, after it is 3/4 filled with green smoothie. Then pour more smoothie over the drops, and you are then ready to drink up and smile.

Acai Berry Super Green Smoothie For Your Good Health My Sweet Super Friends

Super smoothie? Oh yes! Of that have no doubt! Acai berries are a great antioxidant source, as are all the colorful blue, purple, and red berries. Add to that the super powers of the the following greens: kale, dandelion, pea sprouts, and alfalfa sprouts! Throw down some chia, hemp, golden flax powder, and un-hulled sesame seeds, to add more super-food goodies to your morning smoothie! I am not fooling around when I use the word "super-foods" in my smoothie recipes. Too many bloggers bandy that word "super" around on those sugar-laden dessert-looking smoothies with nary a green leaf in sight. No, I don't use that word lightly, cause' just about everything in this baby will rock your inner world! Oh yeah then there is the magic of electrolyte filled coconut water. Plus I also add turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, vitamin D drops, and dha/epa drops! You know I mean bizznazz my super friendzzz!

We always add some type of berry, such as blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, and sometimes black berries, into our morning smoothies. These help to fight off the free radicals in our cells. So while I was in the organic freezer section of our market this week looking to refill my selection of organic berries, I found a new berry product to add to our rotation...acai. Actually it is the puree of Acai and Guarana. Although I was not aware of what Guanana was when I purchased the product. Apparently it is a form of caffeine that some people like to use for energy. It is supposed to be less than 0.5% of the acai frozen puree so it is not present in a high amount. Personally I avoid caffeine and would prefer that my food market offered the caffeine free version of this product. 

I intend to write to the store and put in a request for them to carry the Sambazon 'plain unsweetened acai smoothie packs,' in the future. Live and learn and try new things! In researching the Sambazon company they seem to have a wonderful attitude towards organic, fair trade, and doing the right things in business within the Brazilian rain-forest community. You can read about founders Ryan and Jeremy Black on the Sambazon website, get product info, as well as recipes. You may also wish to view a large info-graphic about their sustainable practices, and check out the blog. Now to my acai smoothie recipe!

Acai Berry Super Green Smoothie

1 cup coconut water

1-2 tsp chia

2 TBS fresh ground golden flax powder

2 TBS hemp seeds

1 tsp unhulled sesame seeds

small handfull pea sprouts

small bunch alfalfa sprouts

small bunch dandelion leaves

3 dinosaur kale leaves

1 banana peeled

1 kiwi unpeeled

1 frozen acai berry smoothie pack

Optional

1/4 tsp turmeric powder

 1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

For me:

1 Vitamin D drop added to smoothie serving glass.

Dr. Fuhrman's epa/dha drops added to smoothie serving glass.

Wash produce. Most ingredients are organic; be sure to peel anything that is not. Add each item to the blender in the order listed. Blendo-rama and pour! Taste your sensation! Oh that is sooooo delicious!

This Acai super green smoothie was so creamy and tasty that I wanted more! Mmmm Indulge in something super healthy, and super yummy in the morning! You will probably have super powers, you super-natural being! Oh yeah, we be feeling it! Be happy! Be healthy! Be peace! So says the Queen!

Pear Sprout Blackberry Super Smoothie

Instead of bananas, today I am using pears with my greens and berries. This is a simple easy smoothie to get your day started. Just look at that gorgeous color! Drink in your daily supply of veggies and fruits! You can use any berry to substitute, or in addition to the blackberries! I always have various types of cancer fighting berries frozen in the fridge ready to go into what ever smoothie I am creating for the day!  

I also buy fresh pea sprouts and/or alfalfa sprouts every week for my smoothies, and to add to my daily salads. They are little powerhouses loaded with enzymes and nutrition. Sprouts and berries are must have produce items in my healthy kitchen everyday! In addition we always add our superfood seeds to the mix. To learn how to conveniently store your super-foods in a pull out container, to make morning smoothie time even faster and easier, just click here to read my post on that subject. I love it!

Pear Sprout Blackberry Smoothie

1/2 - 1 cup Coconut water

2 TB hemp seeds

2 TB chia seeds

1 tsp unhulled sesame seeds

2TB fresh ground golden flax powder 

1/2 tsp turmeric

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

2 TB coconut flakes

5 Romaine lettuce leaves

handful of pea sprouts

2 ripe pears

1 cup of blackberries

Optional

red raspberries

blueberries

Wash your produce and try to use as much organic as possible. Don't want to put pesticides into your healthy drink. Then add all of the ingredients to your blender in the order listed above. As always, with smoothies you can adjust amounts and type of produce as needed. I think I got a few red raspberries in mine too. Look at the green goodness, soon to turn bright purple red! Blend just until mixed well. If you have a Vitamix no more than 30 seconds blending is quite enough time, as you don't want to heat up any of your fresh ingredients. Serves two people.

This morning smoothie is a drink that helps fight against cancer, 
so slurp it up and get on with your healthy bad self!

What's That? Dragon Fruit

This exotic Pitaya fruit which is grown in South America and many Asian countries is definitely the most gorgeous fruit I have ever seen for sale at our local grocery store. My eye always goes straight to this glowing beauty. A member of the night blooming cactus family, this shocking hot pink fruit always stands out when sitting in the fruit bins at Wegmans. Although the insides of Dragon Fruit can come in magenta, and yellow as well, I think the crisp white color dotted with the tiny black specs of the Dragon Fruit seeds are visually impressive against the pink outer rim. What a fantastic display, and lovely presentation a few of these Dragon Fruits would make on your party buffet table! Imagine a couple of these halved and sitting around the edible fruit tree (click for my previous post). Wow! Talk about turning people on to eating more fruit! Once people taste how delicious these cubes of fruit are, it will disappear from the table in no time. There are no thorns on this cactus either! Be prepared to fall in love with Dragon Fruit!

Nutritionally Dragon Fruit like most fruit contains valuable fiber to help with your digestion. Vitamin C, B1, B2, B3, Vitamin, A, calcium, phosphorous, are also readily available in the Dragon Fruit flesh. Since you eat the seeds that are evenly scattered in the flesh you are also getting protein and healthy fats. Additionally lycopene is in the red flesh variety of this cactus fruit. The delightful delish Dragon Fruit is also high in antioxidants making it a fighter of free radicals in cancer defense. Dragon Fruit is said to be a great choice for diabetics as it can aid in lowering the insulin response. Are you ready to try a Dragon Fruit yourself? You can read here how to choose a Dragon Fruit at the store. Dragon Fruit can be added to your smoothies and juices, with some coconut water and banana. Unless you have access to many of these tempting fruits, to me the Dragon Fruit seems too beautiful to just mush up in a drink. I like to take advantage of this showy species and enjoy the splendid attractiveness and tantalize the eye as well as the taste buds!

Preparing a Dragon Fruit to eat is very simple. You could just slice into long quarters and eat the interior flesh as you would an orange or watermelon, but I prefer the method of creating cubes shown above. After all with such a unique built in bowl, why not make use of that colorful attractive fruit platter. Oh I just love being fancy when it is so simple!

Slice open the fruit lengthwise with a knife revealing the delicious inner flesh. 

Carefully scoop with a large spoon a semicircular chunk of the soft interior flesh 

from out of the thick leathery skin. Much like half of a big melon ball.

Flip out the speckled flesh onto a cutting board and slice into cube shapes. 

Trim off any of the pink inedible outer skin that you may have cut by mistake. 

Return the cubes to The Dragon fruit bowls. Impressive! 

Use a fork or toothpicks to eat. You can cover and refrigerate.

Mmmm a delicate watery mouthwatering mix of soft sweet pear, melon, and kiwi in taste.

Plus hearing the word "Dragon" reminds me of "Game Of Thrones." Awesome! 

What a spectacular and cool dish this would be for a "Game Of Thrones" viewing party! 

Enjoy and Rock The Dragon!
