I’ve wanted to try a Ginger Sweet Potato Bisque in the blender for quite some time now, but I don’t have a strong enough blender!
I like some frozen fruit, milk and some frozen yogurt to make a smoothie!
Well. I basically need this because when I tried to make almond butter as a gift for christmas (2011), it burned out the motor of my blender and I have been blender free ever since.
I use my immersion blender to make bean dips (white beans, olive oil, and lemon). I also used to love making smoothies for breakfast (frozen berries, amazing greens chocolate powder, banana, spinach, coco milk and maca powder.. if i needed a pick me up, i’d add some instant coffee powder or chocolate chips!). As a topper for these smoothies, I always added granola or did a little “shell” by melting coconut butter and pouring it on top – mmmm! I miss these!!
So basic but so good: cup of almond milk, frozen banana, tb of peanut butter, tb of cocoa, some sweetner if needed and ice. Blend!

My green smoothie = coconut water, kale, cucumber, avocado, sour cherry juice OR pomegranate juice, super greens powder, vanilla whey protein powder, and a tablespoon of melted coconut oil at the end while the blender is still running.
Oh my, that sounds amazing, I’ve never done a smoothie with cherry juice before! However, I love putting coconut oil and avo in my smoothies too.
