Blood Orange-Mango-Wheat Grass-Greek Yogurt Smoothy

March 10, 2014 by Brett Youmans 4 Comments

Blood Orange Greek Yogurt S Can you tell I’m ready for spring?  All my posts so far have sort of centered around spring—a citrus pound cake, a flower show, a how-to video about making a seed tape, and ended with a little more citrus.  Oh, and a trip to Italy that I’ll be taking this spring!

Yep. I.  Am. Ready.  To me, citrus means spring.  Maybe it’s the color.  Or, the intoxicating aroma.  I just want to swim in it.

With daylight saving time behind us, at least we’re getting closer to spring.  For those of you in warmer climates, I am jealous.  This year’s winter has been especially rough and I am ready to dig in the dirt.  Actually, I was ready for spring after the first snowflake fell.  Some of my friends on the west coast feel sorry for me this time of year and send me copious quantities of citrus they grow.  In their yards {jealous tone intended!}.  Limes, lemons, oranges.  All beautifully perfect.  Those of us on the east coast haven’t seen our yards in weeks.  With yet another significant snowfall predicted here this week, I am ready to just crawl under the covers and hibernate until winter is over.

One thing I do to bring a little spring indoors when a sunny day is nowhere in sight is to grow some wheat grass.  There’s nothing easier—just sprinkle a few organic wheat grass seeds over some moist soil and voila!  In a few days you have spring in a pot.  Admire it.  Touch it.  Smell it.  Drink it.

According to Wikipedia, wheat grass can be traced back in history over 5000 years, to ancient Egypt and perhaps even early Mesopotamian civilizations. It is purported that ancient Egyptians found the young leafy blades of wheat sacred and prized them for their positive affect on their health and vitality.

This Blood Orange-Mango-Wheat Grass-Greek Yogurt Smoothy is like spring in a glass and it couldn’t be simpler to make.  Add 4 ingredients — mango, blood orange, Greek yogurt, and wheat grass — plus ice…

…to a blender and whizz away until smooth.  In a minute, you’ll have a deliciously perfect smoothy.

Want it a little sweeter?  Add some raw honey or agave syrup and you’re good to go.   I’m calling it my OMGG Smoothy:  Blood Orange-Mango-Wheat Grass-Greek Yogurt Smoothy!

Here’s a little video I made just for you:

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
