In the smoothie business!

Mimi, you got your recovery potion "on board." You could do the five-hour 100 mile Spinerval "century" workout and never bonk!!!

BTW, I love those fleece-lined, suede cycling shoes you're wearing in the photo.

I think you should make milkshakes in that blender.

[carpaltunnel]

1 Cup orange juice
1 banana, frozen is good
1 small carton yogurt
big handful of frozen strawberries (drop in one at a time)
Drop in one ice cube at a time desired thickness. I like the added crushed ice.


Fresh pineapple instead of strawberries is great. Sometimes I throw in a handful of oatmeal or a tbs peanut butter.

here's Mimi almost done with her first smoothie!

WOW.............that's amazing!

I only have room in my kitchen for a blender, not a bike........

Have not been on here for a while and you have made me laugh so much.

Happy New year to you Mimi.

Hey, Clock, good to see you too! There is no room in my kitchen for a bike either. I'm in my basement!
Velo, I'm glad you like my extreme bike shoes.
(what's the diff between a smoothie and a milkshake?)

Southern Belle, I see no need for the ice either. I put bananas in the freezer. They're PLENTY cold (and a lot softer than ice)

Carpal, thanks for the recipe. But i think i'll pass on the peanutbutter or oatmeal!

I want a blender for my bike!

My favorite smoothie recipe:

6 frozen strawberries (whole big ones)
1/2 frozen over-ripe banana
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup skim milk

Blend! (makes one smoothie)

I sub in blueberries, raspberries, nectarines, mango, whatever...for the strawberries and I love it! As long as the fruit is frozen, you don't need ice and you get a nice thick and yummy (but not too sweet) smoothie. Oh, and if the bananas aren't super ripe - a splash of maple syrup helps.

Love those special cycle-blender shoes you're wearing, Mimi!

Hey, Oakleaf, even just a shot of amaretto can perk up any smoothy--and you get all that almondy goodness, too.

[SouthernBelle]

Maybe we should open a bar/fitness center. You mix your own drinks so to speak.

Low electricity bills.

[mimitabby]

Sorry, it's hard for me to get my mind around alcoholic sports drinks..
but yes, you'd have lower electricity bills for sure.

Depends on the sport, now doesn't it
