Made this twice, once with the listed ingredients, & once with my pretty standard vanilla yogurt added! Both are very nice, & although I prefer the latter version, I DO UNDERSTAND your desire for dairy-free smoothies ~ I have friends who are ALWAYS on the lookout for sucy recipes! The one things I did differently was to partial freeze the drained mandarin oranges to give it MORE of a chill! Still this makes an OUTSTANDING smoothie & one worth adding to my smoothie keepers!

This was quite different and very good! I LOVED the flavor of the mandarin oranges in there. I made half WITH some vanilla yogurt added, too...and those the kids liked better than without the yogurt. I also added a dash of "orange" flavoring to tweak the flavor of orange somewhat. *Made for Aus/NZ Swap March 08*

These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
