One of my favourite things to do is experiment with juice and smoothie recipes, but I don't do it nearly as much as I'd like. Recently I've been at home less, so I've been forced to buy more commercial juices and smoothies while out and some I've found that I like are made by 'Savse', today I remade one of their recipes using fresh, organic ingredients at home and making a switch that actually improved the flavour... The result was surprisingly amazingly much better than the store bought version!
I was inspired to do this partially because the Savse range includes the percentages of each of the ingredients they use to create their products, so we can easily reproduce them at home... Now we can benefit from all the trial and error of the fruit blending pros - without putting in all the hard work! :)
I will make some more from their range soon, no doubt.
Home made Savse Super Blue Smoothie.
The recipe for this is simple, but what will make the difference is sourcing the highest quality ingredients that you can (And using a good juicer or smoothie maker). The best option would be to grow your own produce from seed, using totally organic processes - but depending on your location and the time of year, that may not be possible... So just do the best you can!
Ingredients
The ingredients are actually in the form of percentages, so you can just take them and adapt them to whatever quantity you want to make - nice!
I switched out Blackcurrants and used Blackberries instead because I didn't have blackcurrants, but the result is actually a great improvement over the original.
Apple - 50%
Blackberries (Original recipe used Blackcurrants) - 15%
Orange - 15%
Strawberry - 10%
Blueberry - 8%
Beetroot - 4%
Kale - 2%
Spinach - 2%
Method
To make this is pretty simple, just feed all the ingredients into your blender and turn it on - blending until the mix is as you prefer it to be. I actually made a juice version of this drink, rather than a smoothie - so I used a juicer and fed in the soft and hard ingredients in an alternating way to ensure that the softer ones are pushed through by the harder ones.
That's it! The result is a really great, fruity blend that I have not tasted anywhere before. :)
Drink and Enjoy!
Let me know if you have any comments or if you try this at home - I'd love to hear your feedback.
Wishing you well,
