It’s delicious hot or iced. I’m going to try this recipe over the weekend.

Açaí Smoothie

Friday, July 24th, 2009
Have you ever tried Açaí?

If your answer is no, try it. I have yet to find a place here in NYC where I can have Açaí bowl (with bananas and granola). Delicious, filling, energizing and super refreshing. Meanwhile, I’m content with my smoothies.

5 strawberries cut in halves
1/2 banana (frozen is better!)
1 pack of Açaí (I get these at Wholefoods)
1 1/4 cup of soy milk

(yes, i know, my straws are a disgrace… and yes, i know…i don’t have a proper smoothie cup…)

Well, give it a go!

update 7/29: The Açaí I used is blended with Guaraná. You can also get it without.

Swiss Lemonade

Friday, July 17th, 2009
Swiss Lemonade (Limonada Suíça) is what we call it in Bra(s)il. Yes, it’s brazilian, but called swiss. Go figure.
For your weekend | Try it!

4 limes
condensed milk
3 cups of cold water
ice
1) Cut off the ends of the limes and then cut them in quarters. Make sure to cut off the white parts inside.
2) Blend the limes, condensed milk (I like to add half a can – but that’s up to you. It gets thicker and sweeter the more you add in.), and 1 cup of water.
3) Pour the liquid through a strainer into a pitcher. Press the pulp with spoon to get the most out of it. Keep the pulp.
4) Pour the liquid back into the blender and add 2 cups of water. Blend!
5) Pour the lemonade over ice into serving cups. Sprinkle a bit of the pulp and ta-da! You made a delicious, refreshing brazilian swiss lemonade!
Enjoy. Have a nice weekend!
