It's been Smoothie Central here lately. Just leaving the freakin'
blender out makes the idea more appealing. Tonight's seedy offering
was blueberries, raspberries, bananas, honey, vanilla yogurt, ice cubes.
Pretty tasty if I do say.

No jam for extra flavor? Or is all the fruit left over from jamming?

Sounds wunnerful, BTW. Will R.S. drink them, too?

I was the subject line and my sick mind conjured up that this thread was
about lady senior citizens getting a bikini wax and their men looking for ED
pills.

To a degree, the latter. There's some fruit in the freezer that I just
don't feel like making into jam so it finds its way to the blender, too.

AAMOF, he LOVES them. I take great pains to tell him there's yogurt in
them. :-) 8-o) I'm such a snot.

If I were going to do that, I believe I'd be making some kind of boozy
chocolate drink. Come to think of it, I think I might have a bottle of
Kahlua in the cabinet. Gotta think on that. Good ideer, Sheldon.

I rarely fix a fruit smoothie without spiking it with rum and Coco
Lopez. Hmmm, I've got four over ripe nanas sittin' on the counter...

This says volumes, it also explains your posting habits, probably in
your cups (smoothie cups) laced with large quantities of rum when
posting. Why not try a spam smoothie?

Now, THAT required a warning!! You get the laugh of the day award.

Today's was skim milk, plain yogurt, a banana, a pinch of cocoa powder
and liquid lecithin. I usually try to add another fruit like papaya
or strawberries to mask the banana.

At my gym, they add a bit of Muscle Milk, some finely ground oatmeal
and charge 3 bucks for this.

I really think I need that immersion tool - washing the blender is a
pain.

I just use my food processor- 1 container (6 oz) of plain yogurt, 1 cup
light orange juice, 1 banana and a couple of ice cubes. Comes out great.
No additional sweetener or milk needed. GOOD stuff!

Really? Put in some hot water, a drop of dishwashing soap, cover it and
buzz it for a few seconds. Rinse it out, take it apart, rinse the
blade, gasket, and cover and either dry it by hand or let it sit in the
drainer.

I think you'd be happy with it. And, yes, it's very easy to clean.

And when drinking smoothies during the day you only need to wash a
blender like once every week to ten days... inbetwixt the
booze sanitizes any goims.

I would never use my immersion blender with ice cubes, though.

My processor is too small - I make about a 16 oz. smoothie.

It's taking it apart etc which is the pain. Isn't the immersible
thing of fewer parts to dissemble?

Serious? Unscrewing the bottom and removing the gasket and blade? Huh!

> Isn't the immersible thing of fewer parts to dissemble?

Fact. :-) Depending on what you get, there's nothing to dissemble. I
sometimes give that a whiz in hot soapy water, too, rinse and call it
done.

Hasn't seemed to hurt the blades a bit so I guess the answer is.. no?
And light orange juice is a watered down, artificially sweetened juice
drink (tropicana, minute maid, etc) with half the calories. Look next to
the cartons of juice in the fridge section at the market. I always
watered down regular frozen concentrate orange juice but this stuff is
good for smoothies and just cutting a few calories here and there. Its
grown on me.

Light Orange juice has 50% less calories and sugar.
Translation: They add water as well as other garbage.
Second Translation: We can make more profit from the gullible by selling
water in an OJ container

From Minute Maid
Ingredients
Filtered water, concentrated orange juice, orange pulp, natural flavour,
citric acid (controls tartness), ascorbic acid (vitamin C),
acesulfame-potassium, sucralose, colour. Contains (per 250 mL): 6 mg
sucralose, 21 mg acesulfame-potassium.

Hmm, that would be "orangeade". I'll have to look next trip... I'd
think it would be illegal to label that orange juice... that's orange
*drink*. That said I typically dilute orange juice at home, with ice
and Crystal Palace.

Ick.

Pulp in orange juice (to me) is like drinking OJ with sand mixed in.

I buy the extra pulp too. If you squeeze your own, do you strain it before
drinking? I never did. Fresh squeezed is so much better, but it is
difficult to find good juice oranges. Not to mention expensive. The
commercial stuff is more better.

I agree! I keep seeing those ads on TV for "Fruit Today" (or something like
that). Juice and fruit bits. I'm sorry, but I don't want to drink "bits"
