Smoothie King


Grandma Jones gave us a Blendtec for Christmas this year of which we are very fortunate to have. This is the uber blender you may have seen from the sensational Will It Blend video's.

The picture above is from it's first use.
As a result of having such an amazing appliance I'm all about smoothies now.

It's so great to throw a bunch of all natural ingredients in and voile! out comes deliciousness.

Erica and the boys are willing benefactors.


As it is with anything going down in the kitchen, Andrew has to assist.


Recipe: In order of listing, quantity depends on your desired serving
An Orange or OJ (not from concentrate)
Some Yogurt (orange or strawberry, 1/2 Yoplait cup)
Strawberries (you can even leave the stems!)
Bananna (to taste -lots of you may think they're slimy but they're a superfood so don't be shy)
Ice

Alternate Ingredients (to taste):
Handful of blueberries, grapes, raspberries, kiwi, peaches. You get the idea, whatever comes in it's own wrapper like the remaining pulp and juice from morning grapefruit
Margarita mix
Vanilla Ice cream
Cholocate

Satisfy your inner Van Gogh here and be creative. If it's all natural, it will blend to create something delicious. Only advice is to have the right proportion of liquid to start.
I want comments on your creations.
