It’s light, it’s refreshing and it’s just the right amount of spicy. And this whole-food juice is an absolute gem.

Yes, it has a silly name.

But that’s because its creator is silly too 🙂

This green juice from the Blender Babe is kickin'

Collaboration.

I hope to do this a lot more with the Vitamix Recipes featured here.

And this recipe is a great start.

Tarashaun Hausner, creator of Blender Babes, was in town for a convention. She was working at a booth doing what she does best — comparing blenders. (Here’s her Vitamix vs Blendtec mega post.)

Long story short, we hosted the Blender Babe while she was in town and took the opportunity to shoot a few vids.

This one, “Answering: What do you think of juicing?” was a lot of fun to make and answers the question I get a lot.

Anyway, at the end of the vid, she showed me one of the whole food juices from her free juice detox. It’s called I am spicy hot (I refuse to spell it how she does on her website), and is really, really good.

This is a great addition to the list of juices (not smoothies) you can make in a blender. Go make it!

Useful tips for Blender Babes’ I am Spicy Hot (green juice)

For the pineapple and banana you can use fresh or frozen.  If using frozen fruit, use less ice.

This recipe makes 6 cups, to make a half-batch, half all of the ingredients except the coconut water.  Use 1 cup (8 oz).
