Healthy appetite
StrawberryRosé Smoothie Story, recipe and photo by Sherrie Castellano
G
reen juice cocktails are trending and for good reason: They make us feel like we’re pumping our bodies with loads of chlorophyll to balance out the alcohol. We drink them to feel healthier – and they’re pretty tasty, too. If green juice cocktails exist, then wine smoothies should definitely be a thing. They’re packed with plantbased protein and healthy fats to sustain your energy and keep you full, which helps you avoid drinking on an empty stomach. Loaded with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, this smoothie helps ward off nasty hangovers, as well. Part wine slushy, part superfood smoothie and part protein-packed snack, this drink would make the perfect addition to a weekend brunch, garden party or girls’ night in. The recipe is quite versatile: Substitute fresh raspberries or blueberries for strawberries, and Pinot Grigio, Riesling or local Vignoles for dry or sweet rosé.
Strawberry-Rosé Smoothie Serves | 2 | 2 cups fresh destemmed strawberries 1 ripe banana 1 cup dry or sweet rosé 3 Tbsp chia or flax seeds 1 Tbsp honey 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice handful ice sprig fresh mint (for garnish) | Preparation | In a blender, combine all ingredients except mint and blend until smooth. Garnish with mint and serve cold. Healthy Appetite is a monthly column in Feast Magazine. Visit feastmagazine.com for more fresh and fun recipes.
