Nutritional Info

Method

  • Rhubarb Simple Syrup
  • Combine the rhubarb, honey and water in a medium saucepan. 
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, add the mint and let sit 1 minute, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. 
  • The mixture should be syrupy. If it's too watery, return to the pot and continue cooking until the mixture is slightly reduced. 
  • Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Raspberry-Rhubarb Bellini Smoothie with Blueberries
  • Skewer the fresh blueberries on wood skewers.
  • Add 12 ounces fresh raspberries, 1 scoop slender blend and 1/3 cup of the rhubarb simple syrup to a blender and blend until completely smooth. 
  • Divide the frozen blueberries among 3-4 glasses.
  • Divide the blended raspberry-rhubarb mixture among each glass. Pour the sparkling waterinto each glass. Add your blueberry stick and swirl to mix. Garnish with a few fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint. Drink!
