Recipe Collection: Strawberry-Lime Smoothie

admin November 24, 2014

Written by Kate Tietje

When I was a little kid, my family always broke out the strawberry daiquiris around the holidays.  Some years, they were virgin, and I was allowed to have one.  Some years, they weren’t…and I might have gotten a small sip.  These were always made with a frozen mix, though, which included corn syrup and all kinds of other junk.

Eventually, I realized that these yummy drinks were just a combination of strawberry and lime.  Of course!

I set out to re-create the drink as a healthy “smoothie” for the whole family.  And they do — my kids start cheering and jumping when they find out I have made a smoothie!

If you were so inclined, you could replace half to 3/4 of the water with rum, obviously for adults only!  (3/4 cup rum should be about 1 oz. per serving.)  I prefer the virgin version personally…just as yummy, no need to limit how much I have!

Strawberry-Lime Smoothie

This recipe makes about six 1-cup servings.

Ingredients:

  • 6 limes, juiced (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1/3 cup organic sugar or raw honey
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 – 2 cups ice

Directions:

Step 1: Add everything except the ice to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 2: Add the ice a little at a time until you have achieved the desired consistency.  Serve immediately.
