BLOOD ORANGE SMOOTHIE WITH GRAPES AND RED QUINOA
I had never considered using red grapes in a smoothie until I began working on pairing fruit with grains in this week's Recipes for Health. Red grapes and red quinoa are a perfect match. I used blood orange juice as the liquid and sweetened it with a bit of pomegranate molasses. As the mixture was whirling in the blender it occurred to me that a small handful of kale would be welcome; it would darken the color slightly and contribute all that kale has to offer without distorting the sweet/tannic flavor of the drink. The second time I made the smoothie I froze the grapes, which is a great idea. Then you won't have to dilute the flavors with ice.
