Author Notes: Inspired after reading the soup and cream corn F52 entries, I thought, why not a refreshing smoothie; another recipe to help use up the garden harvest, when you need to. The taste of sweet corn with a blend of some tropical fruits, this recipe is perfect for a breakfast, a pick me up and even though I have not tried it, yet, I am thinking a little Coconut Rum would add a special touch! - lapadia

Makes about 5 cups

  • Note, I used full fat yogurt and coconut milk
  • 2-1/2 cups fresh sweet white corn kernels (3 medium cobs)
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 3/4 cup honey flavor Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup chunks of pineapple
  • 1 cup chunks of mango
  • 1 small banana (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cups ice
  1. Shave off the corn kernels - position the cob on the end of a bowl and run a knife down the sides to get all the kernels and its juice.
  2. Add the vanilla bean - split lengthwise and with the tip of a knife scrape the seeds from the bean into the bowl. Add grated ginger. Place into a blender.
  3. Add the honey, coconut milk, pineapple, mango, banana (if using) and honey. Blend till smooth. Taste for sweetness and add more honey, if needed.
  4. Add ice cubes and blend.
  5. Serve in a chilled glass and, optional - grate a little fresh nutmeg over the top.

Just wanted to let you know that I passed this on to a nephew who: a) is picky about food, b) eats mostly raw... He loved this smoothie! Thinks it's terrific, and is looking forward to trying some other flavors and tropical fruits!
Thanks lapadia, for providing me something a little different to offer him this summer!
