Quick and Healthy

Posted in Lets Eat

I have been posting simple meals so my sister can have them at her finger tips. Now for a quick snack.

Smoothies

I have a smoothie blender from Back to Basics ($50.00) purchased at Target.

(My dream machine would be a Vita Mixer - someday.) Don't do this in a regular blender, it will burn up the motor

I buy frozen fruit at Trader Joes and Costco - mangos, pineapples, strawberries and mixed berries. And I use what ever fresh fruit is in season. Lot's of possibilites.

The mixer has line guides on the sides -

I pour in apple juice to the liguid line and then add fruit up the fruit line

For  protien I add firm Tofu (It adds no taste or grit just makes it a little creamier.)

Mix and serve.

Some add ins have been coconut milk, lecithin, aloe vera juice,  liquid chlorophyll, Udo's oil...

Apr. 22, 2006 - we have a vita mix

And we love it! In case you were wondering if it is as good as the Costco guys say. For us, it was worth the money because we kept ruining other blenders. Also, it can cook soups etc. Just in case you wanted a recommendation.
I like your idea of Tofu, well try that! We make smoothies for breakfast a lot. We use plain yogurt, frozen fruit, whey protein powder and a little orange juice frozen concentrate.
:) Thanks for the ideas, Amy

My m-i-l surprised me with a VitaMix for Christmas, but before it graced our kitchen, I loved my Smoothie Maker, too. It is getting no use here anymore- would you like it? Then you can make twice as many smoothies!

Let me know-
