What to do with a blender???

[Geonz]

... so I have the blender, I've hooked it up (it's nifty keeno cool)... and Monday is our "member Meeting ride."
Recipes??? What do people do with blenders besides milk shakes, which sound s a litte too complicated...

When I had a blender, I used it mostly for smoothies and milk shakes, neither of which are complicated.

Milk shake: a few scoops of ice cream of your choice, a dash of milk and whatever flavoring you like. I prefer vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries or raspberries or blueberries myself

Smoothie: chopped fresh fruit and a splash of juice. For example: fresh strawberries (or frozen berries) and a spash of orange juice.

I do smoothies too ... tofu, frozen peaches or berries, a bit of mint, a splash of juice to get it going, a very ripe banana if I have one, bee pollen if I've got it ... put it in a go-cup and it's a perfect breakfast!

Chocolate Tofu Pie!!! Easy to make, yummy yummy yummy and much less guilt
1 box of silken tofu
1 bag choco chips
1/3 cup of liquid (soy milk or espresso work equally well)
1/2 tsp vanilla (or use vanilla soy milk)
honey to sweeten if desired - I find between the soy milk and the chocolate its plenty sweet for my tastes to I don't add any.


melt choco chips with liquid in microwave

blend all ingredients in blender until totally mixed and tofu is ultra smooth

pour into a crumb type pie shell if you wish, or into dishes if you don't and chill until set. Tastes best the next day if you can wait. I like (sp?) Ayazumaya tofu as it has very little tofuie aftertaste

You're talking about the blender hooked to your xtracycle, right? I'd love to see that in action!

You're going to be more popular this summer than the neighborhood ice-cream vender! Follow Dianyla's suggestions and you'll never want for company.

Great minds think alike.

Yup, that was my first thought.

I zipped through this thread so pardon me if I am repeating what someone else has already said!

My blender is used for Endurox 4 Recovery Drink- Vanilla- with milk and plain nonfat yogurt. Pour in milk, add yogurt, put in Endurox on top - blend for about 30 seconds.

You now have a yummy milkshake with all the stuff you need after a good ride!
