Blood Orange Smoothie With Grapes And Red Quinoa Recipes
BLOOD ORANGE SMOOTHIE WITH GRAPES AND RED QUINOA
I had never considered using red grapes in a smoothie until I began working on pairing fruit with grains in this week's Recipes for Health. Red grapes and red quinoa are a perfect match. I used blood orange juice as the liquid and sweetened it with a bit of pomegranate molasses. As the mixture was whirling in the blender it occurred to me that a small handful of kale would be welcome; it would darken the color slightly and contribute all that kale has to offer without distorting the sweet/tannic flavor of the drink. The second time I made the smoothie I froze the grapes, which is a great idea. Then you won't have to dilute the flavors with ice.

GREEN SMOOTHIE WITH PINEAPPLE, ARUGULA, GREENS AND CASHEWS
Pineapple can stand alone as a fruit to combine with greens in a smoothie. No bananas are required. I did add a piece of ginger to this smoothie and loved the way it pumped up the flavor. I didn't use any dairy in this one, just orange juice. And I found that it required no additional sweetener, though you could add a teaspoon of agave nectar or honey if you wish. It's best to use the pungent, feathery wild arugula for this. I used a baby greens mix that included kale, chard and spinach.

DATE SMOOTHIE WITH BROWN RICE AND ALMOND MILK
This is inspired by Bryant Terry's recipe for date-sweetened almond milk, which I came across in his wonderful cookbook "Afro-Vegan." You could use commercial almond milk, but it will taste much richer if you make your own. Blanch and skin almonds (it goes quickly), soak overnight, blend and strain. The smoothie is a simple one, subtly sweetened by the dates, and mildly nutty. If you want to introduce another flavor into the mix add a half banana. I liked it both ways but I think I prefer the simpler version, so I have made the banana optional.

BANANA WILD BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE WITH CHIA SEEDS
Because I use frozen organic wild blueberries for this, I don't need to add any ice cubes. You'll need to soak the chia seeds for several hours or overnight.

Steps:
- To soak the chia seeds, place in a jar or bowl and add 4 tablespoons water for every tablespoon of chia seeds. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The seeds and water will be become gelatinous.
- Scoop up a tablespoon of seeds with the gooey liquid and place in a blender (don't worry, your smoothie won't have this consistency). Add the remaining ingredients and blend for 1 full minute at high speed.

BLUEBERRY KEFIR SMOOTHIE WITH GREENS
This green smoothie is really more blue than green, as the color of the blueberries predominates. But the greens are there, so in my mind it's still a green drink. Half a banana wasn't quite enough to punch up the flavor of the drink, but I found that a whole banana did the trick. I used a baby greens mix that included baby kale, chard (red and green), and spinach.

DEEP PURPLE BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE WITH BLACK QUINOA
My idea for this week's Recipes for Health was to match grains and fruit by color and make nourishing smoothies. For this one I could have also used any of the black or purple rices on the market, such as Alter Eco's purple jasmine rice, Lotus Food's Forbidden Rice or Lundberg Black Japonica. I happened to have a full bag of black quinoa in the pantry, so that's what I went for and it worked beautifully. You can also use fresh blueberries for this, but when they are not in season, frozen will do fine and will eliminate the need for ice cubes.

GREEN SMOOTHIE WITH CUCUMBER AND CUMIN
This smoothie, the only savory drink in this week's Recipes for Health, is a bit like an Indian lassi, with a little heat from the pinch of cayenne, and some lovely spice. I used a mix of baby greens - chard, baby kale and spinach, as well as parsley and mint. It makes for a filling lunch.
