Your Blender
Do you blend things? I just blended up a smoothie. I make them ginormous and then put the extra in my freezer to eat later. It isn't smooth later though. Is it a sorbet at that point? I don't know.
This thing has strawberries and bananas and pineapple and peaches and mangos and chia seeds and oatmeal and yogurt.
My blender and food processor broke on my last move. I miss that processor the most, but I often used it for the same jobs I gave my blender, anyhow. What's not to love about them? Toss in whatever you want and watch extremely sharp blades make your job 100% easier, and cutting prep time in half, if not more. I love them almost as much as I love my flat grill.

I love my blender. So very much.
Parker and I make smoothies on Saturday mornings with strawberries, blueberries, bananas, some type of yogurt, a lil bit of OJ, and ice.
I also make a lot of salsas with it. And sometimes I do juices with spinach, kale, ginger, lime, and whatever other veggies I feel like adding... Throw it all in there, add a little water, then strain the liquid through cheesecloth or layered paper towels into a pitcher.
I'm dying for a crock pot and a food processor and .... Something else. Can't remember what... Indoor grill I think. And a tortilla press and a steamer pot.
I like blending up strawberries with ice and honey. The flavor is intense, though. I think I need to add another fruit. o_o
I used to make smoothies every day, but not so much lately! I am partial to tangy flavors like orange, mango and pineapple, and strawberries are a regular fixture.
I also love making orange julius. Hot damn that stuff is good.
I have the tiniest blender and I desperately need something larger, for I have large blending needs.
Maybe add milk?Originally Posted by Marshall Banana
Oh yes! I make a perfect orange julius!
I recommend a Ninja.
There's a blender at my house which my mom uses quite often. Most times she'll make a smoothie using fruits. I last made a mocha frappe using simple ingredients.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Ninjas are expensive though....
You get what you pay for with blenders.
Jeremy and I saved up and bought a Vitamix. It's a beast! We've made hot soup in it. XD
I've made Frappes in my blender! Ice, strong coffee, chocolate or caramel syrup, bit of milk.... Yum.
Too bad I can't drink coffee.
I've heard Vitamix is great, though.
Raspberry, and white chocolate smoothie.
How do you make that? With actual solid white chocolate?
You blend it with some vanilla cream, and raspberries. So it becomes a little crunchy, but it is delicious.
