Smoothies:)
Hello beautiful ladies!!
This is a totally 'BC unrelated' post. This morning at about 7.00am our door bell rang. I wasn't expecting anyone at that hour, so when I opened it there was a huge box wrapped in blue plastic, addressed to me!! I unwrapped it, and there was a NUTRI BULLET blender!! Just like the one on the TV.
I have been talking about getting one for ages,and my daughter in Melbourne decided to buy it for me as a surprise!
It is fantastic,and I have made my first smoothie so easily. Much better and quicker than my old blender. This is really going to keep us on the right track, even though we have been doing well anyway. There is a great recipe book with it, and I feel very lucky.
Smoothies are such a simple but effective way of getting all the nutrients we need. It doesn't have to be hard. I hope everyone is doing as well as they can be. Cheers xox Robyn

- Tonya is talking about these cheap little crop top bras that I found at Best n Less.They are about $10 each,and the brand is ed-i -ted.You can take out the cups and pop your prosthesis in.They just pull on over your head!Robynxox
- ok, spill the beans.......
- You will love it.It has also been good for my husband.I make up sandwich bags of chopped apple,pear,banana,dates,almonds,pepitas,chia,and a spoonful of Bioglan super foods multi greens.I keep them in the freezer,and when we want one,we just pop it in the blender and add low fat milk( or water) and hey presto,an instant nutritious meal.My husband,who is a bit hard to get to eat only healthy foods,is actually enjoying it,and he just gets one out of the freezer and blends it himself now.Its great with the hot weather,cause it's just like a slushy.Have fun with it Tonya:)
- Just spent $15 on the best investment ever!I bought the Kmart version of the nutribullet.It's compact and the plastic is BPA free. It's terrific! - more powerful than I thought but probably not as powerful as the nutribullet. I am experimenting and to my surprise,it pulverised nuts n pepitas.I'm hooked and if anyone isn't sure then a $15 outlay is the way to go- it does the job.So thanks Robyn for being trail blazer! You did it with the crop top bras too,remember?Love Tonya xx

- thanks Robyn, great idea xx
- Hi.Yes ,I found a blog online,that says a quick and easy way to have fruit and veg on hand ,is to freeze it,especially when it's not in season.This is how I do it.I cut up all the fruit into chunks,then spread it on a large baking tray.I pop it in the freezer for 4 hours,then I make up sandwich bags with the frozen fruit,and I also add everything else,pepitas, almonds,chia,goji,dates,whatever I feel like,to the bag.Then when you feel like a smoothie,you just grab a bag and tip it straight into the bullet.Add the water or whatever you are using,and it's done! You can put different things in the bags and just write on them what's in each one.You just have to be careful to press as much air out of each little bag as you can,or you will get freezer burn,and this can spoil the food.Cheers xoxRobyn.By the way,I have to do this several times,because you have to make sure that you freeze the fruit in one layer only,so I don't get a real lot each time.
- your smoothie sounds yummy Robyn. Do you freeze all the fruit for one smoothie in the same bag and then put it into the nutri bullet frozen? Definately will be trying this one xx
