ICE CREAM MADE IN A BLENDER

April 9, 2009 · 1 Comment

Well, almost. To my children at least. I received a powerful blender for Mother’s Day (early this year). And I made a smoothie so thick my kids ate it with a spoon. They said it was as good as ice cream. And they were right. It really was as good as ice cream.

Here’s what I used.
These measurements aren’t exact, because I didn’t measure. But to the best of my memory, here is what I did.

Coconut Pineapple juice (about 1 cup)
Apple juice (about 1/2 cup)
Frozen mixed fruit (about 2 cups)
Frozen bananas (1.5 to 2)
2 cups of ice

For the mixed fruit, I usually use strawberries, grapes, mangoes, cantaloupe, peaches, and pineapples. Anything except for papaya and berries.

I’m thinking maybe we should experiment with a chocolate frozen smoothie. That would be awesome!

I’m also going to try to make a banana nut smoothie with more frozen bananas less of the other fruit and then add some walnut or pecans. Mmmmm!

It’s like I can have ice cream every day and it’s still good for me. Yeah!
