Great Summer Drink
------------------
We got a juice drink at TCBY - orange juice with pineapple and banana (and
some ice cubes) blended in. We've been experimenting with it at home. We
are using a lot of bananas! But the drink is delicious. We have also used
frozen peaches or frozen strawberries in it. It's great just with juice,
fruit and ice.

Canteloupe Smoothie
-------------------
I just take half a canteloupe, clean and peel it, and slice it up into
chunks. Then put it in a blender, with 4-6 ice cubes and enough water to
cover the canteloupe. (If you have a small blender, you can use smaller
amounts of everything.) Then blend it on HIGH for about a minute. When
it's whipped up, it has a sweet, creamy consistency, which is perfect for
anybody who craves drinking milk. I don't, but I love this smoothie.

Coconut Milk
------------
In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup each grated unsweetened
coconut and boiling water. Blend until coconut is finely ground. Strain
thru a fine sieve or a piece of clean muslin, squeezing to extract all the
liquid. Discard coconut. Makes about 1/2 cup.

Fresh Coconut Milk
------------------
I decided to be a bit adventurous on this one. Having read on the can
that coconut milk is made from steamed coconut, I figured I could make it
fresh. I bought a coconut and after much effort, and several friends
making suggestions, I finally got it open. Actually, a hammer and
screwdriver works best. Then I took the meat out and boiled it with
bottled water. One medium coconut made about 6 cups of milk/broth. I
imagine it will work the same.

Colleen then put the milk & some ice in a blender and made
a frosty shake.


Coconut Milk
------------
The way I was taught in the Philippines by my sister in-law was to grate
down the coconut, add a little water, allow to stand, place in muslin and
then squeeze out the milk. The first squeezing is the superior quality milk
adding more water and re-squeezing produces a weaker lower quality milk.
Given this production method, the oily coconut solid invariably separate
from the water. Filipino cooking actually uses these as two separate
ingredients. 

If you cook down the solids, it forms coconut oil, brown crispy solids
which again get used in Filipino cookery for cakes and candies.

Breakfast Smoothie/Dessert
--------------------------
I start by making a few days worth of juice. I usually do this in the
evenings. I do not really believe that a lot of pure juice is very
compatible with a paleo diet since I do not see how H/Gs would have had the
juice without the fruit. Therefore, I buy whole frozen berries and
sometimes frozen pineapple or mango and fill my blender with it. Berries
are relatively low in carbs for those of you watching your carb intake.

Next, you add enough apple juice to cover the fruit. I use flash
pasteurized apple juice from Trader Joes. Ideally you would make your own
with a juicer but be sure to at least get unfiltered.

Blend until smooth. I have a KitchenAid blender which is pretty good. Some
cheaper blenders will not be up to the task.

At this point you can just enjoy the juice as is. In fact, if you add less
juice, you can make a pretty thick frozen desert.

For breakfast, however, I like to get a bit more protein. I got a
Hamilton-Beach DrinkMaster about 10 years ago for making ice cream shakes.
Having quit sugar, it has gotten no use for years. Well, I discovered that
if I put one egg in the cup and add about 8-10 ounces of juice and blend
for about 30-seconds, I get a very light, tasty smoothie. My breakfast
takes me about 2 minutes to prepare and, if I am in a hurry, I can drink it
in the car on my way to work. Sometimes I use 12 ounces of juice and 2
eggs.

The only real worry is the possibility of getting salmonella from the raw
eggs. The consensus on this list appears to be that, while it is possible
for the salmonella to be inside the eggs, it is more likely to just be on
the shell. So it is probably a good idea to dip your eggs in boiling water
for a couple of seconds when you get them home. This is also a great way to
make them last longer. In fact, in my backpacking days, I learned that you
can keep eggs unrefrigerated for days after sealing the egg with this
little trick.
