Keep Cool In The Summer Gadget
by Tsoniki
With all the hot weather we have been having here in the south - and the humidity is so NOT helping! - my blender has been a permanent fixture on the counter. I have an Oster that we got a few years ago and I love it.
If you have little counter space, a blender is one must have! We usually have a smoothie with breakfast, and another something in the afternoon. I have found there are many blender recipes for food too - something I don’t usually think of, but hey if it can cut time off of the prepping of food for mealtimes ~ I am all for it!
My favorite blender recipe is a breakfast smoothie: orange juice concentrate (one can), bananas (1-2 chopped, it depends on how much you like bananas!), a handful of strawberries and ice. The recipe makes alot so be prepared to share. Or put it in the freezer and enjoy in the afternoon.
Do you have a blender? What is your favorite recipe?

Here’s one for you to try with your blender. Peel and freeze a banana then blend it with a peeled orange, sounds weird frozen banana, but the combination of the 2 tastes just like icecream without any of the fat !!

Oh my that sounds extra delicious Darina thanks! No, frozen banana doesn’t sound weird at all in this household. My kids love frozen banana and strawberry. I also add some milk for them for the added doese of calcium
they love it.

My kids love strawberries too with milk and ice cream … here are a few other things we love …
Blend mangoes with some milk, orange juice and sugar to taste - then you can just drink or you can freeze for later … or …
Blend avocadoes with milk, ice and sugar to taste … I know … it may sound weird as most people use avocadoes for guacamole but it is an awesome sweet drink too - try it!
oh - don’t forget to put some whipped cream on top before you serve - Extra Yummy!
