Recently, I snagged a brand new 5-speed KitchenAid blender with a polycarbonate container. For only $45!
Tonight, I decided to make some smoothies. I started off with some frozen strawberries.
Some vanilla ice cream.
A banana.
Some milk.
And finally a touch of orange juice.
Then the ingredients went for a ride in the blender. I am MORE than impressed with this blender. The frozen strawberries and frozen hard ice cream were blended instantly with the other ingredients, on the lowest setting! I cranked it up a bit just to make sure we didn't get surprised by a big chunk of somethin'.
These smoothies were a great way to finish this dark, muggy, raining day. Do you have any new toys, or have a toy on your wish list?
i like your new toy :) i have the red one, and i think mom has the stainless one... but i think if you include ice cream, it should be called a milk shake!
