Since we're posh (i.e. not students!
), we have a Magimix (a French kinda blender/food processor thing) and we juice up 4 oranges and 1 (preferably *red*) grapefruit everyday between 2 of us.
Correction, "...everyday we remember..."
But, yeah, one of the fine things in life is fresh squeezed/blended apple juice... MMMMmmmmmmm

Re: Blendage
blending makes some of the best drinks whilst drunk,so if i had a blender,my rule would be that you have to blend while being drunk for 65% of the time,35%for the healthy stuff.

My breakfast
Every day:
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt (do they have that in UK? I know it's kinda French...)
1 cup orange juice
1 banana
smattering of frozen raspberries (completely optional)
Blend. Pour. Drink.

Re: Blender Recipies
The Bitter-Sweet
Great Smoothie Recipe and Serving Idea:
for this you blend 3 mixes
Mix 1 (Base)
1 Pear
1 Red Apple
1 Green Apple
1 Banana
2 Tablespoons of Plain Yoghurt
Blend All this and pour into a big cup
Mix 2 (Bitter)
2 Lemons
1 Lime
1/2 A Grapefruit
2 Kiwi's
Blend All this and pour into a seperate cup
Mix 1 (Sweet)
1 Orange
5 Strawberries
1 Handfull of Blackberries
1 Handfull of Rasberries
Blend All this and pour into another seperate cup
Now you should have 3 smoothies, in 3 cups.
1- Take 4 Pint glasses and half fill each with the Base mix.
1- Share the Bitter Mix into the first 2 cups
1- Share the Sweet Mix into the remaining 2 cups.
The Finished product should be:
2 cups with base mix and bitter mix
2 cups with base mix and sweet mix
Re: Blender Recipies

Re: Blender Recipies
WOW! I Have jJust Discovered an Amazing Fact that will boggle your minds!!!!!!
Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.
i greater reasons to have smoothies in the morning packed wiht apples!!!!
Re: Blender Recipies
Hey everyone, earlier i was researching to make a smoothie recipe so my dear old mum could add the needed fruit to her dear old shopping list.
i looked for a while on the net for recipes and here are some findings:
- Porridge oats go gr8 with a teaspoon of honey in most smoothies
- Peanut and Banana is apparently a gr8 recipe worth trying
- Vanilla is good with most sweet smoothies (best with strawberries)
- Royal Jelly (I dont kno wot it is) is a gr8 ingredient apparently
- And as i already said apples are more effective than caffeine at waking you up in the morning
Hope these ideas help you with your future smoothies
Re: Blender Recipies
I have found that if you have a blender with a mesh filter to stop the pulp joining the juice you can make a great juice but DON'T THROW AWAY THE PULP. add to it some say almonds, maybe cinamon, perhaps some sugar maybe jam for consistency and flavor and a GOOD helping of natural yoghurt and mix it all up. goes great with the fruit juices.
That ain't no English I ever dun heard!
