The Organic Climber – Blogging about climbing, RAW foods, vegetarianism, running and cycling.

This smoothie now ranks among my favorite. I still seem to be on this chocolate kick too, maybe it’s the two 16oz bags of cacao I recently purchased. But, this one turned out to be pretty amazing I think. Next time I will probably try it without the cacao, because I think it will be equally as delicious.

The Recipe

• 1 ripe peach (pitted, leaving the skin on)
• 2.5 oz of frozen peaches (1/4 of a 10 oz bag)
• 2.5 -3 oz of frozen mangoes (or about 1/4 of a fresh one)
• 1 banana
• 2 TBSP of raw honey (or agave for 100% vegan)
• 2 TBSP of cacao powder

Combine all ingredients into a blender and whiz until smooth!

A random though just popped into my head… I should create a page listing out my favorite smoothie recipes. So, look for that in the hopefully near future.

And, on a side note. I might be running the Dallas Rock and Roll Half Marathon in two weeks. I will be sure to post if that happens. It will be hard to work in another long run before then though since I will be out climbing in Arkansas this weekend, but seeing how I just did 13.1 last weekend I think I will be okay getting in an 8 mile run sometime next week.

Rainbow chard, green, nectarine, mango banana smoothie. What a name for a smoothie eh?  I made this delicious bad boy after an impromptu trip to Whole Foods after exchangeable my shoes at Luke’s Locker. I needed some agave nectar and it just so happened, there was a Whole Foods right down the road. I ended up buying way more stuff than I intended to buy. Really the only thing I needed was the agave, but walked out with a canvas bag full of other stuff including a couple mangoes and some rainbow chard. I have used rainbow chard in past smoothies – it’s one of my favorite greens.

I have a feeling I am going to start eating a lot more mangoes since my roommate purchased the Titan peeler. This “As Seen on TV” kitchen utensil is seriously quite amazing! It only takes me seconds to peel one mango as opposed to minutes with a standard potato peeler. This will make dehydrating mangoes way easier too.

Anyway, without further or do, here is the Rainbow Green Monster Smoothie. I just renamed it on the spot; sounds much better huh?

The Recipe

• I ripe mango
• 1 ripe nectarine
• 1 ripe banana
• 2-4 TBSP of agave nectar
• 6 cubes of ice
• 3/4 – 1 cup of almond milk
• 1 giant rainbow chard leaf

Directions: blend that stuff up

I gave myself a big pat on the back after making this smoothie! Simply put, this one is amazing! I was hoping to incorporate a fruit I don’t normally use in my smoothies and just happened to have a couple of ripe nectariens lying around the kitchen. So, I looked around to see what else I had and ended up using some frozen strawberries I had just put in the freezer the day before, added a banana and then tossed in the nectarine and pure amazingness happened.

The Recipe

• About 8 oz of frozen strawberries (or one BIG hand full)
• 1 pitted nectarine (ripe is essential)
• 1 banana
• 1 cup of almond milk

Blend in high speed blender until smooth. Optionally, you can add greens to this as well. I actually ended up adding a huge hand-full of spinach after taking the picture and it didn’t affect the taste too much at all. This will definitely be a repeat smoothie for me. The nectarine really added some punch to what would normally be a mundane strawberry banana smoothie.
