We make different versions of smoothies often as a snack or to compliment breakfast. We first became addicted to this healthy idea a few years back. My brother in law blended one up and served it with breakfast. We were all very impressed because the bitterness of the kale was masked by the sweet fruit. After just one taste and a demo at Sams we ditched our old blender for a high end one in order to make this good for you deliciousness. FYI: this is only one of the impressive things the Blendtec can make!
Servings: 4
The Players:
- 1 Fuji apple (any kind is fine, except something super sour) cut into pieces and seeded
- 1 banana peeled
- 1 clementine peeled
- 1 handful of spinach
- 2 handfuls of frozen peach, strawberry, mango, pineapple mix
- 2 handfuls of kale or 1 long leafy stem (stems removed)
- 1 cup of low fat or non-fat milk
- 1/2 cup of water
- Ice (optional)
Special Equipment:
- Blendtec, Vitamix, Ninja or any super high voltage blender
The Game Plan:
Place all fruit in the blender and pour milk and water in also. Put the cover on.
If using a Blendtec press smoothie and watch the ingredients transform into a smoothie.
If using another type of blender use appropriate setting or blend till smooth.
Pour into a glass and enjoy :)
i would say "it is the only impressive thing that the Blendtec can make". we have one too and and a good breakfast smoothie is pretty much the only thing that it gets used for more than a regular blender would.
ReplyDeleteYou can make hummus, ice cream, sorbets, soups, etc. But I admit, I use it mostly to make smoothies. We have used it once to make hummus and another time to make a sorbet!
