I've been really working the blender drinks lately. It's just a world of fun with all the different combination of flavours!
Clockwise from right: strawberry, banana and pineapple shake with honey, oats, milk, yogurt and flax seed; strawberry banana shake with oats and flax; pina colada with fresh pineapple (a new household fav!).
I'm jealous your blender is so cooperative. Mine is pretty and all (turquoise, yay!) but refuses to anything with ice. Or anything directly from the freezer. I have to slightly thaw frozen fruit first. Bah. Very limiting, drinks wise.
I have a gorgeous vintage blender too. It's really good at.. mixing things! I too had to thaw frozen fruit before blending and even then it was chunky. Ice was out of the question.
Two christmases ago the BF got me a super duper blender and it was worth every penny! There isn't a thing it can't blend to smoothness.

ReplyDeleteI love strawberry and banana shakes. Will add oats next time. :)
