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
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
