Juice Glass Berries Smoothie Smoothie This morning’s smoothie is too good not to share. You’ll only find iPhone photos, though. Six months ago, I took on an overnight baking job in another luxury hotel from 2 am to 10:30 am after my regular luxury hotel bartending job, which is why you didn’t see many recipes here for a minute. Sixteen to seventeen-hour days didn’t leave much time. Then, it started raining in my bathroom during that time, and I had a hole in my ceiling for two months. Once they fixed that and I started to get organized, first the bathroom and then proudly began decanting my food into clear airtight labeled containers, then, it started raining in my kitchen. More leaking from the apartment above. I was already decluttering my closet by then and things were messy, and then I quit working overnight. I like making drinks and wine better. Now, with a few days off and a little more time, here we are, but I am swamped playing catch-up resulting in iPhone photos for this post. This smoothie is fully loaded and tastes so good. It does contain sea moss, so if you can’t have sea moss gel because of any medical conditions, leave it out. You’ll still get all the goodness. Speaking of goodness!The sumac-rolled glass, though. The first time I ever had sumac in my memory was many years ago. A lady arrived with cheese bread topped with sumac. I ate way more cheese at the time, and I am glad I did. The sumac always stayed in my memory. As soon as I returned home, I found it at a local Middle Eastern market, and the love affair began. This morning, as I sipped my smoothie out of the Cuisinart cylinder with no intention at all of having a rimmed garnished juice glass photoshoot, I kept thinking something was missing. The sumac!! Sumac honey and some dried hibiscus leaves. Sakara Metabolism is great for reducing bloating and keeping you feeling full. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory and is better activated with black pepper. Cayenne adds a bit of spice and heat for heart health. Cinnamon helps maintain blood sugar levels and tastes so darn good. It’s cinnamon! What’s not to love? Water is hydrating and obviously not as caloric as a plant or cow milk, and the berries are mood-boosting with antioxidants galore. Ghee oils those joints, and collagen powder works its magic as listed in its name – for skin, hair, and nails. And my sea moss, sourced from St. Lucia, is conveniently available at my local Erewhon market. It is jam-packed with vitamins and minerals that support digestion and overall well-being. I notice a difference in my well-being when I don’t use it. I soak it for a few hours after rinsing, blend it, and have a gel stored in my refrigerator for four weeks. Good day to you all and happy blending!You are going to love it! Sweet tart earth in a glass. Despite all the ingredients, it’s super easy! Cheers! Smoothie Ingredients 2 cups of frozen mixed berries (blackberries strawberries blueberries raspberries) 1 Sambazon Frozen Açaà packet 6-8 hibiscus tea ice cubes 1 scoop of SAKARA chocolate metabolism protein powder 1 scoop Agent Nateur holi (mane) hair, skin, nails marine collagen powder 1 cup of water (If you prefer a looser consistency adjust according berries to water ratio) 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper 1/4 teaspoon sumac (garnish) 1/4 teaspoon matcha powder 1 1/2 tablespoons honey (reserve some for the glass rim) 1 teaspoon of ghee 2 tablespoons of sea moss gel (I make my own following the manufacturer’s instructions or use the one you pre-purchased) Dried hibiscus flowers Method For the hibiscus tea cubes Steep dried hibiscus flowers in hot water, add honey to taste, cool, and freeze until ready to use. Ice tea cubes are always a good idea. Prepare two saucers, one for the honey and one for the sumac. Dip the rim of the glass into the honey, then into the sumac sauce to create a flavored rim glass. Set it aside. Add water to a blending machine cylinder, followed by all other ingredients. Blend until smooth, then pour into the rimmed glass and enjoy! It’s so good! You’re going to love the tart pepper with a slightly sweet finish. Glass: bucket juice glass Garnish: honey rolled sumac a few crushed dried petals optional of course Smoothie Where to buy the goods?

Morning Smoothie Morning Smoothie Ingredients 1 cup frozen raspberries 2 Navitas frozen coconut pouches 1 cup cucumber infused water 1 scoop of SAKARA chocolate protein powder 1 scoop marine collagen powder Method For the cucumber-infused water, wash and slice one cucumber. Size doesn’t matter here. More cucumber equals more flavor, less cucumber equals less flavor. Or just add the whole cucumber, as you prefer. Add some salt, toss it into the water, and let it sit refrigerated for several hours. It’s best prepared in advance. Well worth it. Once infused, add it to a blender. Add the remaining ingredients to the blending machine. Blend until smooth. Pour into glass of choice. Bar Chef Note: It’s best to start layering ingredients by beginning with liquids, then adding half of the frozen fruits, followed by powders, and finally the remaining frozen fruits. I must confess, most of the time I start with water and then add the rest of the ingredients. However, let me know in the comments below if this order makes a difference for you. The order in which you blend the ingredients and the size or amount of cucumber(s) used. Glass: silver coupe glass with ribbon (I have been saving velvet ribbons from packages. This one is a pink velvet. Isn’t it perfect.) Garnish: none Where to buy the goods and stuff? Ribbons, silver goblets, blé ding machines, protein powders are available on Blonde Behind the Bucket Storefront, of course. *please know I may receive commissions on eligible purchases
