Drinks and Smoothies
While much of my recipe development focuses on food, I've found that homemade beverages can be just as rewarding to create - and often make the difference between an ordinary day and a special one. This collection covers drinks for every occasion and time of day, from nutritious breakfast smoothies packed with fruits and vegetables to afternoon refreshers that provide a pick-me-up without excessive sugar or caffeine. You'll also find cozy warming beverages for chilly days, festive options for entertaining, and creative mocktails for those avoiding alcohol. Many recipes include variations to accommodate different dietary preferences or what you have on hand, plus make-ahead options for busy mornings or party prep. I've tested each drink with both standard and high-powered blenders where relevant, providing adjustments to ensure good results regardless of your equipment. The smoothie section includes balanced recipes designed to keep you satisfied for hours, not just sugar-heavy fruit combinations that lead to energy crashes. Throughout the collection, you'll find options ranging from virtuous to indulgent, with seasonal suggestions to make the most of fresh produce year-round. Whether you're looking to increase your fruit and vegetable intake, reduce your dependence on store-bought beverages, or simply enjoy something delicious, these drink recipes add a refreshing dimension to your kitchen repertoire.
