Can you give me some recipes for delicious SMOOTHIES and ICED COFFEE to make in my new blender?
Answers:
Iced Coffee Slushie ... First brew some 'extra strong' (at least twice as much coffee as you usually make) coffee and put it into the fridge to cool. Have some 'half and half' (a quart will make several of these) on hand. When the time has come to 'indulge, using the 'highest' setting on your blender, 'crush' enough ice to fill a glass 'loosely.' Pour two 'shots' (use a coffee 'shot' or an 'alcohol shot' or measure out two ounces in a measuring cup) of coffee into the ice, then 'fill the glass' with half and half. The ice will 'melt a little' and blend with the half and half and you'll have a 'wonderful' slushie. If you want a 'flavor' then add 1 tablespoon of any 'coffee flavoring' or 1 teaspoon of any 'flavoring' on your 'spice rack shelves' ... in the summer, MINT is excellent and very 'cooling' and those 'slushies' will be even more 'wonderful.'
For a good 'smoothie' ... I don't like mine 'milky' so I 'puree' fresh berries (any kind, plain or mixed) and then 'stir them' into a glass half full of UNSWEETENED SODA WATER. If you want 'milky' then use three tablespoons of PLAIN yogurt, and stir, then add milk and stir, or just the yogurt and add the 'soda water' ... they're all 'very tasty' ...
You can also use bananas, orange juice, lemonade, and 'mix' them IN THE BLENDER for a 'real smooth smoothie' ... just add yogurt, milk, soda, or any combination ... and don't forget MELONS ... and mango, and kiwi, and ... go shopping and buy as 'much' as you can to 'try out' and have a 'smoothie party' with your friends to 'taste, and compare' the different things you can 'make' with JUST your new blender!
ENJOY!
