Here are some of the recipes from the party.

1 scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt

1-2 cups orange juice

Tropical Mango Smoothie (Lactose free)

Turbo Hummus 
(adapted from Alton Brown by Belinda and Hillary Pond)
(We almost always double this recipe in our 14-cup food processor)

1-2 cloves garlic (or jarred, minced garlic)
1 can garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed)
2 T. tahini (sesame seed butter found near peanut and almond butter in health food section)
2 T. dried parsley (or 1/4 c. fresh)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Pinch freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil

In food processor, chop the garlic finely.  Add the beans and chop.  You may have to scrap a few times.  Add tahini, parsley, lemon zest and juice, pepper and salt.  Process until it forms a paste.  Drizzle in the olive oil and process until it reaches a very smooth consistency.  Taste and add more salt, pepper and lemon or lime juice as desired.  I have sometimes added jarred, roasted red pepper as well.  The options for add ins are endless!
