shakes, smoothies, etc.

hand blenders are great for such things...

dudes i got a blender and am excited.

SMOOTHIES S/D

I had a fantastic taro "shake" (no milk involved) at a mediocre Chinese vegetarian place in Albuquerque, so I just tried one locally yesterday and it was not quite as good, but still pretty good. I have a thing for taro anyway, though.

(But apparently you can't eat raw taro, so if you want to try that at home, make sure you cook it first somehow.)

awesome

I just threw some blueberries and apple cider and strawberry yogurt in for a puree. It brought the yum.

When I got home last night I did:

Bannana
2 cup milk
2 tsp peanut butter
1 tsp honey
shake of cinnamon

Love in a glass, my friends. Love in a glass.

aka running smoothie thread 2007

i like to make them out of maccha tea lately. maccha (sp?), plus vanilla, plus honey, plus soy or milk, plus ice.

I will have to give that a try with some Mate tonight.

I realize my smoothies are pretty boring at this point (though no less tasty), but I'm a smoothie n00b. I'm hoping to get more adventurous as the summer progresses.

i had an awesome blueberry/banana/vanilla ice cream shake last night

Milkshake/Smoothie Suggestions

I'm big on using the acai smoothie packs.

New one this morning based on tea suggestion above:

1 cup milk
1 cup mate tea
1 apple
1 bannana
handful of grapes

Makes a nice, frothy lattea kinda thing (with hints of fruit, obv). Yum.

Put some fruit in your freezer. That way it's *crunchy* when you make a smoothie.

But then you run the risk of ending up with fruit chunks in your smoothie if your blender isn't up to snuff.

I made the mistake of putting my banannas in the too-cold fridge and they overripened/froze/ruined/whatevers. So I had to use them all today.

I would love to have smoothies now and then but milk in that quantity upsets my stomach somethin' fierce. I guess I could buy lactose-free milk and make my own though. Maybe whence summer comes around again.

You could try soy or rice milk?

soy milk is grebt for this kinda thing, especially if you get like the vanilla flavored

I could but I've never liked the taste of soy milk to be honest :|

even the flavored?

you know, i sort of hate smoothies as they masquerade bad eating habits as fruitful nutrition.

but i had to had a raspberry super vitamin C smoothie today. i had been dry heaving at 4am and had been really hammered by the sun the whole weekend. it was one of those strange moments where you can almost bodily detect a vitamin deficieny and your body is screaming at you to so something about it.

Thanks for that thread, btw, Michael F Gill

The flavoured soymilk is GREBT! How could you dislike that?!? I like the berry flavoured ones,, then the BANANA FLAVOURED ones and finally (mixed with fruit) the vanilla soy milk. Yes, in that order. Num num.

<I>you know, i sort of hate smoothies as they masquerade bad eating habits as fruitful nutrition.</I>

You mean the ones that use ice cream for example? I know what you mean. Never tried those, tbh, so I don't know how much tastier they are.

Soy tastes like chalk to me, bleugh! But in all honesty I'm not a big milk fan anyway. Which is weird cause I love cheese and I like cream.

Pure soymilk, yeah, tastes a bit bland, but the fruit flavoured ones are really tasty.

started putting cardamom seeds in some of my smoothies....it makes them taste AMAZING.

I bought a meat smoothie why because it's A MEAT SMOOTHIE and now it's sitting in my fridge and it's grossing me out.

They have a beef smoothie too, it's called "Beef Bombay"

Because Indians love beef so much

oh god

Came here to eulogise the simple joy of banana, cinnamon and nut milk smoothies such as made by me this evening, but I am leaving here disillusioned

yeah that really took the wind out of my sails to tell you all about my new breakfast

US Politics, June 2018: This is a total meat smoothie.

Peter Klassen, 55, has spent the last three years developing recipes and one million euros of investment in the project. In an interview with the Berlin-based newspaper Die Welt, Klassen explained that his greatest difficulty in getting his meat smoothies on the market hasn’t been a lack of public interest but rather finding a way to “make the meat so smooth that you can’t feel any morsels on your tongue anymore.” Ideally, the drinks’ contents should be “as fine as cocoa.”

But surely this is soup?

Not a soup I would eat. Smells like cat food and has a sharp chemical aftertaste.
