Day 1:
The first morning I tested out my new Vita-Mix Multi-functional Blender, I made:
- an orange, banana and carrot smoothie
- a Milo frappe (well, it was supposed to be Milo ice cream but I read the ingredients wrong so I ended up making it a frappe instead)
- vegetable soup (my own recipe)
This is what I learned:
- frozen drinks don’t taste as sweet as liquid drinks even if they contain the same amount of sugar because the Milo frappe I made tasted okay when frozen but much too sweet after it melted
- sometimes it pays to stick to the recipe because my vegetable soup didn’t taste quite as good – I was trying to use up some old veggies so probably got a little over zealous
Day 2:
I made:
- a banana chocolate smoothie for the hubby which he enjoyed
- orange, apple and grape smoothie for myself
- banana ice cream which got the thumbs up from the hubby
What I learned:
- if you’re going to freeze your bananas, it is a good idea to remove the skin before chucking them in the freezer (yeah, I know, it’s an obvious one but somehow I missed it)
