I've taken the plunge, and bought a smoothie maker, in a bid to consume healthier food during 2008. I bought a Kenwood "Junior", for £23 in Sainsbury's (they're half price at the moment!). What a great gadget! It's really simple to use - just chop things up, throw them in, whisk it up, and pour. I made myself a breakfast smoothie this morning, using these ingredients:
- One banana
- A dozen blueberries
- Two tablespoons of organic yoghurt
- A third of a glass of milk
- A quarter of a cup of ground oats
- Two teaspoons of honey (any type will do, but I prefer Accacia, or Manuka)
You really need a bit of liquid, otherwise the texture is so thick that it'll have trouble getting out of the pouring nozzle. Apple juice is good for non-milk based smoothies. I'll be posting my favourite recipes here, but in the meantime, here's a great article on the wonders of Manuka honey.
