Roasted Plum and Raspberry Smoothie

June 28, 2013 by Audra 23 Comments

I’ve been craving sweets a little less than usual lately, but one thing I have been just dying over is summer fruit. As I mentioned in Tuesday’s post- I stocked my fridge with the stuff after getting back from LA. I’ve been snacking on it constantly, but realized I may have been a little over-zealous at Trader Joes with my fruit buying. We leave Wednesday for a 4th of July trip to visit Andy’s family, and so I know I needed to use some of this perfect fruit pronto.

After these pancakes I’ve been loving the idea of roasting fruit- which is where this delicious smoothie came to be. Full of greek yogurt, fruit and honey, I consider it one of the healthiest things I’ve made and yet oh so delicious. It isn’t overly sweet and the flavors of the fruit really shine.

Is the weather by you as muggy and yucky as it is here in NY? I’m hoping some rain will cool things down so I can bake this weekend, but this was just perfect the other day when all I wanted was something cool and refreshing, (though I did have to turn the oven on to roast the fruit!) Happy Weekend! :)

  • 1 cup raspberries

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. In an 8x8 pan lined with foil, arrange the berries and plum slices evenly, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the honey.

    I’m with you – this rain and humidity is just rotten, but it’s summer in the city. (By the way, we’re moving to Manhattan in July, so it’d be fun to meet up sometime – we met back at the Foodbuzz Festival in 2012.)

    Anyway, love the idea of roasted fruit in a smoothie. Great sounding flavors!

    I think you begged for it to cool down just a lil too much. It’s only 60 here today brrrrr. Bundled up under a blanket now. I’d still happily enjoy a glass of this!!

    Roasted fruit is SO delicious. I can’t believe I’ve never put it in a smoothie.

    Well, you can always toss the fruit in the freezer. Just use it frozen in a smoothie – use less ice.

    It’s a very pretty drink

    Isn’t that how it always happens? The really great produce always pops up on shelves right before we’re leaving town and won’t be able to eat it all up. I love the idea of putting it in a smoothie though – healthy and delicious!

    My mouth was literally watering as I read this Audra! I am so glad you came up with this idea of roasting the fruit before adding it to a smoothie. I bet it really intensifies the flavor. How brilliant. I am so inspired to try this with all sorts of fruit combos now. And I am totally with you about getting carried away with fruit. I don’t know how it all ends up in my cart. I think I sort of loose it in the produce department sometimes:)
