DIRECTIONS

  1. SMOOTHIE: Combine all ingredients using a high-speed blender. For larger yield recipe, divide ingredients into batches. Begin on low speed gradually increasing to high speed and then blending for 1 minute or until smooth and creamy. Reserve chilled.
  2. WHIPPED AQUAFABA: Strain aquafaba (garbanzo bean liquid) into a mixing bowl. For larger yield recipe, divide ingredients into batches or use 64-oz blender jar.
  3. Using a stand or hand mixer whisk attachment, whisk aquafaba on high speed until it begins to foam.
  4. Add cream of tartar, continuing to whisk on high speed until the liquid thickens and resembles meringue (about 30 seconds).
  5. Reduce speed to medium, add vanilla extract, then slowly add in the confectioners’ sugar. Continue to whip until the aquafaba forms stiff peaks. Transfer whipped aquafaba into a piping bag. Store refrigerated until ready to use.
  6. PRESENTATION: For each smoothie, portion 3/4 cups of Vanilla Valentine Smoothie in an 8-oz. cup. Using the piping bag, squeeze 1/4 cup of the whipped vanilla aquafaba on top.
