Yum. That's all I gotta say about this incredible creation. Now I am on the west coast at the moment where the Spring produce at the Farmers Market is in full gorgeousness so please forgive me if you are reading this and are on the east coast and do not have these fruits at your local market...BUT if you are lucky enough to have them or be on the west coast do yourself a favor and get your ass to the Farmers Market and buy some organic Strawberries and Guavas straight from your trusted organic farmer. You and your guests will thank me. Period. This is sooooooooooo easy and delicious you may wanna jump back and kiss yaself!
pinch of Sea Salt
2/3 cup agave
1 TB Vodka (yes I said Vodka -- it helps with the freezing and the texture!)
1 TB real Vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetend soymilk or organic cream if you can
Juice of half a meyer lemon (you can use a regular lemon if you can't find the meyer)
Put everything in a high speed blender. Blend for about a minute. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer into a pitcher. Discard the little seeds in the strainer. Put pitcher into refrigerator and chill at least a few hours or overnight.

I just discovered your blog! I would be grateful if you check out a site I created and maintain, and consider adding it to your list of "Organic Snob Approved Foodie Websites" -- it seems to fit well within the philosophy and subject of your blog. And I hope you can find the site fun and informative.
The site is about tea and is designed to promote sophistication in tea drinking as well as to draw attention to sustainability and health issues in the world of tea: RateTea.net.
Let me know what you think! Thanks for your time!
This sounds amazing. Too bad there's not many guavas up here! Maybe I will try by swapping the guava for another exotic fruit...
Great site by the way!
I can't get fresh guavas where I am, here in Delaware, but strawberries abound. I grow my own strawberries (and with no fertilizer or pesticides, but not technically organic because I compost and I include non-organic produce in the compost heap).
I wonder if something could be substituted for guavas though...there's a local, native fruit tree called a pawpaw (not related to the tropical pawpaw or papaya) that has a very different texture but is very aromatic and sweet.
I like the idea of local--often more than organic--and am always finding ways to adapt by substituting ingredients.
thanks for visiting my site!
if u can't find guavas where u live, just make a straight strawberry sorbet! it's simply delicious. but is you want to try other tropical flavors i would recommend substituting mango for the guavas...or if you want something a bit creamier use fresh young coconut meat...
What do you mean by boxes? Are they like the green plastic lattice boxes that hold about a pint?
Yep. A pint of strawberries. They can come either in a little box, green plastic lace, plastic, etc.
Heeeeyy. You were SO kind to give RootDown LA a link and shout out all the way out there in NYC? Do you know the idea for RD/Building DEMAND for healthy food was sprouted back east?! How did you find out about us?!
And THANK YOU!!!!!
