Mango-Guava Live Green Smoothie with Fresh Aloe Vera Gel & Elderflower Water or Liqueur
Posted by: Angela Leeds In: *LGS Daily Recipe|*Live Green Smoothie RECIPES
Nu-MEE! Sweet, creamy, slightly exotic and floral-tasting… filled with the alkalizing, energizing power of fresh aloe vera gel, with a vaguely tropical undertone from mango and guava. A wonderful Live Green Smoothie that takes just minutes to whip up, and all the ingredients are so pedestrian I bought them in my own little central-New Jersey neighborhood.
Where to get elderflower water? I have no idea — online, I suppose. Normally I come across recipes for making the stuff at home. But at the liquor store is a liqueur called “St. Germain” which you can pick up to add a bit of exotic flavoring to your beverages (it’s generally sold for adding a few drops to champagne). I love it because it tastes like fresh lychee fruit to me, which I adore. If I come across elderflower water in any store, though, I will be sure to pick it up because these lovely flower waters are spectacular in Live Green Smoothie recipes!
In this case, you can easily substitute Orange Blossom Water instead (and to keep it utterly non-alcoholic for you teetotalers… although this LGS isn’t remotely a cocktail).
This recipe would also be wonderful with ripe persimmon instead of the guava, so do keep that in mind!
