Violet, You’re Turning Violet! (Chocolate Blueberry & Butterfly Pea Flower Smoothie)

November 8, 2020

Veruca & Mike Teavee. Charlie & Grandpa Joe. Which one are you? I think I might be a little of each of them. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a goose that lays golden eggs & snozberry flavored wallpaper. I wanted to run around in that candy forest, float in the Fizzy Lifting Room and dive into the chocolate river. I mean...I still want to do those things. So...if anyone reading this has access to snozberry wallpaper, DM me!

Inspired by my love (or obsession) with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the OG one, not that other nonsense), I bring you a Chocolate, Blueberry & Butterfly Pea Flower smoothie that will make you want to yell “Violet, you’re turning violet!”

Notes & Substitutions:

  • Equipment: Blender

  • Bananas: I'm allergic to bananas, which is why you won't find it in my recipes. However, if you like them, frozen bananas can add some sweetness along with a nice thick & creamy texture to your smoothies. 

Ingredients: See ‘A Pinch, A Dash & A Smidge’ for measuring references.

  • 2 Handfuls Frozen Avocado

  • 2 Handfuls Frozen Blueberries

  • About 4-6 Butterfly Pea Flower buds steeped in about a mug of water

  • 1-½ handful Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

  • A handful of Kale

  • A handful of Spinach

  • A dollop of soaked chia seeds

  • A dollop of Joi Almond Nut Base

  • Agave syrup (or your favorite liquid sweetener) added to taste

Instructions:

  1. Add all items to blender. 

  2. Blend until smooth.

  3. Enjoy cold as a smoothie or smoothie bowl.

I’m a kitchen creator, arts & crafts dabbler and black thumb gardener, sharing my journey with you.

My dishes are flavor focused for the cook who doesn’t own a measuring cup. They are mostly vegetarian but adaptable for the dairy-free, the dairy-philes, and anyone in between!

Could this be the best rice you’ve ever had? After trying the recipe for my Puerto Rican grandmother's flavor packed Arroz con Gandules (yellow rice with Pigeon Peas), it might just change the way you cook rice forever! ⁠

Pssst... What's one thing every cook should have in their culinary arsenal? Sofrito! Abuela Naty, my Puerto Rican grandmother's not-so-secret "secret sauce" packs a ton of flavor into most Caribbean or Latin American dishes.

I took different elements I loved most from tomato soups I’ve had to bring to you a hearty, creamy, savory soup with a touch of sweetness to cut the acidity. Best of all, it's #vegan!⁠

A play on the traditional green Basil Pesto sauce, the arugula gives it a bit of a fresh spicy flavor to your dish. ⁠

Once upon a time, a chef I worked with tried to tell me there were no vegan substitutes for an egg wash, shutting down the conversation by saying "some things are just not meant to be vegan" without even trying any alternatives out. So here
