Strawberry-Basil Smoothie

Many mornings I go to my computer and The New York Times Cooking site http://cooking.nytimes.com for one of the dozens of interesting smoothie recipes posted by Martha Rose Shulman. Practically all of them can be adapted easily by using non-dairy milk or substituting agave nectar etc. for honey. Because of a recent freezer-door-left-open disaster, I had 1/2 cup of strawberry juice that had to be used, so I ended up turning Shulman's Pineapple-Basil smoothie (which is also very good) into a Strawberry-Basil smoothie, and I recommend it as a lovely treat in basil season.

Galactic Green Smoothie

It took me a while of thinking about it to try a green smoothie, and this was my first attempt. I loved it and now make one for my husband and me at least once a week for breakfast. The recipe calls for a papaya, but I haven't had a lot of success in finding a good one, so I have successfully substituted mango and peach. The reason not to use red or purple berries, I think, is color rather than flavor. I don't know the best season for papayas, but when they start appearing in the market, I'll give them a try.
