2 TBSP honey divided by 5 serving = just a little over a teaspoon per serving doesn’t really seem that excessive.
This is a great version of the Orange Julius drink. I made it vegan using coconut milk (drinking) and agave syrup. I also did not have the frozen concentrate so I used half milk and half orange juice. But the flavor and consistency were excellent! And I love sneaking in a squash into my kids’ drink. : )
So Blendtec…where’s the answer?
The Whole Juice setting seems to deal with seeds and other odd textures better than just the Smoothie setting. I find that if I use raspberries or blackberries or kale or spinach, I get the best results with one cycle on "Smoothie" then a second cycle on "Whole Juice". That way the seeds or kale-ness is not noticeable. In this recipe, I think the squash skin and seeds would give it an odd texture unless you use the Whole Juice setting.
Do i need to cook the squash first?
