Method
Banana Cacao Smoothie
Cherry Blueberry Juice
If using fresh cherries
Pit the cherries. If using frozen, thaw slightly so your blender or juicer can process them.
Add cherries, blueberries, cold water, lemon juice, and honey (if using) to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, about 30–45 seconds.
For a clear juice, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a pitcher, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. For a thicker smoothie-style beverage, skip straining.
Serve over ice and garnish with a few whole berries if desired.
Orange Grapefruit Citrus Juice
Peel the oranges and grapefruit, removing as much of the white pith as possible for a sweeter juice. Alternatively, halve and juice them with a citrus juicer.
If using a blender, add the peeled citrus segments and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove pulp if you prefer a smoother juice.
Taste and, if desired, stir in a tablespoon of cold water to dilute or a teaspoon of honey/agave to sweeten. Serve over ice.
Apple Ginger Refresher
Core and chop the apple (peel optional). Peel and finely grate or thinly slice the fresh ginger.
Add apple pieces, grated ginger, cold water, and lemon juice to a blender. Blend until smooth, about 30–45 seconds.
For a clearer drink, strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag. Serve over ice.
