KL's RED HOT FROZEN SMOOTHIE

HEYYYYYYY---I'm BACK!

I've been moving so FAST the past two weeks between St. Louis to Orange County to Los Angeles that I had to take the time out to post a new recipe today!

If you're a fan of RED HOTS candy, you're gonna love this!!! 

This was recipe creation was totally NOT BY DESIGN either as I added cayenne pepper when I thought I was using cinnamon... oh well, GOD doesn't makes any mistakes---it tastes AMAZING and it's a "mucus buster" for those of you suffer this time of year from allergy/sinus problems, chest congestion, headaches, breathing, etc!!

Nearly 60 days I have been on a totally raw foods nutrition program... two (2) detox programs that I were on called for 20 days of fresh fruits and vegetables each, along with natural herbs; so after the program was successfully completed (40 days later), it's now easy to stay in the groove... and plus, I'm not spending a lot of time cooking foods in the kitchen!

PREP TIME: 45-60 MIN*

COOK TIME: 0 MIN

TOOLS:

BLENDER

STRAINER

KNIFE

INGREDIENTS:

CACTUS PEAR - ONE (1) PEELED

SPRING WATER - 1 CUP = 8 oz.

CAYENNE PEPPER - 1 TEASPOON*
GROUND CINNAMON - 1 TEASPOON*

BANANA - ONE (1) PEELED & CHOPPED

RED DELICIOUS APPLE - ONE (1) CHOPPED & PITTED

ORGANIC RAW BLUE AGAVE NECTAR - 3 TABLESPOON*

PREP:

Add 1 cup of Spring Water to your blender. Remove skin from cactus pear and cut into chunks and add to blender. Blend on low for 10-20 seconds until "juiced" . Strain juice to remove the seeds from the cactus fruit and return juice to blender.

Add 2 tablespoons raw blue agave, peeled and chopped banana, chopped apple, and seasonings ( cayenne & cinnamon) then blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth!

Remove the container off of the powered portion of the blender and place in freezer, with the lid on for 45 minutes or until the juice thickens [almost gel-like] then blend on high until smooth... this doesn't hurt or harm your container, plus, it saves time and dishes!

Add 3rd tablespoon of organic raw blue agave while you blend/pulse on high until smooth.

BOOM---Wallah... MAGIC!!

*Depending on how you prefer your smoothies, the prep time may vary. I don't usually measure ingredients but I have listed measred amounts for those of you who do. This recipe (minus the measured amounts of agave, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper) is exactly how I prepared my beverage today, so feel free to "tweek" as desired and send feedback!
