I'm blessed with my grandparents old blender, and this baby works really well! I've decided I'm not a big fan of today's plastic blenders-they are way too fragile! This baby is sturdy and durable and a wonderful addition in our kitchen.
The finished product!
Also, just as a side note for everyone, if you want to make these smoothie's, glass is a much better choice than ceramic! The only downside for us having only white ceramic for glasses that size, is that when putting cherry and grape juice stuff in there, it'll stain easily. That's when baking soda becomes a very handy thing to keep stored and ready in the kitchen. ...just make sure your husbands remember to soak their cup once done, and not hours later...
Another great tip! I always just throw it all into a freezer bag and toss into the freezer. Your way eliminates the "clumped" fruit :D
ReplyDeleteYou can always add powdered fiber like Benefiber or Metamucils Clear and Natural, flavor and grit free. Great for baking too :D
Oh and what about adding protein powder to your smoothies, or can you not have whey as it is a by- product of dairy........I already know you can't do soy.

Well, I can have soy in small ammounts. It's uber high in estrogen though, so I need to avoid large amounts of soy.
ReplyDeleteWe add an SP complete powder that gives lots of extra stuffs we're supposed to have. I just don't include that in my recipe. ^_^
