Got a new Ninja Professional Blender to make my weight loss ambitions more palatable… Well I’m just fumbling about having made my first smoothie. The usual Internet sources were disappointing (YouTube, google search) for smoothie recipes because mostly were high calorie in reality. Trying to find a good healthy recipe that didn’t involve honey, yogurt, milk, sugar, chocolate, or ice cream are hard to find. Just took the plunge instead. Used 7 ice cubes, ounce of water, and Walmart branded mixed frozen fruit and gave it a spin… Wow, frozen chunks of purple snow… That didn’t work too good. Added a splash of milk and water and gave it another spin. Much better. Nice consistency but it needed something… Sugar! I succumbed to one teaspoon of it. Made a huge difference! It was worth the extra 30 calories. Will use sweetener next time though. All trial by fire, fumbling in the dark…
