Smooth Smoothie

May 11, 2005

I’m not a stellar cook. My mom? A stellar cook. Me? Hardly. But I surprised myself recently. I actually came up with something good. But hold that applause, it’s only a smoothie. A smoothie hardly qualifies as something “cooked.” And I never said this was original. Most households probably whip something similar up each day in America. I’m still choosing to be proud.

So, I present to you my latest creation. Best of all, it’s quick, all natural and it kills several birds with one stone (that is, daily servings of all kinds of things in the food pyramid).

By the way, the measurements are complete guesses. Consider this a rare moment to exercise your free will without guilt. Go on, be wild.

Dump in the blender the following:

  • Plain yogurt (about 1 cup)
  • One ripe banana
  • Frozen blueberries (about 1 cup)
  • Add a little milk and/or 100% juice to make it drinkable.

It’s outstanding as is, if I do say so myself, but if you really want to be crazy, add a little heavy cream. Yes, that’s right. Don’t just be wild, be reckless. You won’t be sorry.

    As a bachelor, I think about 85% percent of my meals minus breakfast and dinner are as if I were paralyzed from the jaws down because I would much rather sip my 2nd-5th meal through a straw than sit down and eat (unless someone is there to accompany me and then I’d gladdy settle down).

    Is this wrong, I see not how, but why waste time when you can get any business or make a relationship stronger, even if it is with yourself.

    Your mom was a stellar cook — no doubt. I remember eating at your house once and she’d made lentil soup. I asked you what it was because it looked disgusting in my dorkwad-all-knowing-12-year-old-mind. It blew me away. I went straight home that day and asked my mom to please make us lentil soup. I love your blog.
