Got A New Immersion Blender And Had To Try It Out

[RussH]

I love to cook, or prepare food. I just got a new immersion blender and decided to make a smoothie. I have never made, nor had a smoothie, so I decided to wing it. Here is what I used:
1 Lb. Strawberries
1 lime
1 mango
2 bananas
1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup of Mackinaw Trails strawberry rhubarb wine
Ice.

It was really good!

Anthony, I glad you like the post. Sometimes it is nice to post something that has nothing to do with PTSD and all the garbage associated with it. Sometimes we just have to do something positive.

That sounds delish! Might be the new drink at the girls' week long birthday bash in a couple of weeks

I agree 150%!!! :) Kinda nice to have an off topic occasionally....

If anyone wants to make it; i blended the fruit first, then I added the ice and blended it, then I added the yogurt and wine and blended it one last time. By the way I love the new blender. It is wonderful.

I've never seen a smoothie recipe that uses wine before! That is a nice addition. I'm trying to make more smoothies again. Here's the one I made this morning for breakfast. :happy:

Pumpkin Smoothie
Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin purée
• 1 large ripe banana
• 1 cup unsweetened soymilk
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
or a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and/or cloves
• 5 ice cubes

Just blend everything.

I made this recipe up myself. The wine is a sweet wine, so It adds sweetening without adding sugar. I am sure it would taste good without the wine, but if you have the wine, why not use it?:) I did make the smoothie tonight, without the wine, for the grandkids, I used apple juice instead.
