Just made my first ever smoothie..........
As the title says..........Just bought a new food processor complete with blender, so thought I'd give it a try. Stawberries, Banana, Pear, squirt of honey, low fat milk, blend, jobs a good 'un.
Fantastic.........
.Shall be experimenting for days now.........

Re: Just made my first ever smoothie..........
Since i posted this thread, I am amazed at how few people make their own.Up until 18 months ago, SWMBO did all the cooking, and by her own admission, she 'aint that good at cooking. It was all bought pies, chips, etc., and, whilst I enjoyed it, I now realise it was rubbish food.
So after having put on loads of weight, culminating in a day in hospital with Blood Pressure through the roof and later finding my Cholesterol was also sky high. I needed to change my diet drastically, so I took over the cooking, and am now really into it and could say it's become a hobby.
I now make all my own soups, and experiment with all sorts of Rice and Pasta dishes (I used to hate pasta, then I found out you're not supposed to cook it for 25mins like wifey did, bless her).
I find the taste is so much better than the processed supermarket stuff.
We do however have a slight advantage, if I want Orange Juice, I go into the orchard, pick some Oranges and juice them. How fresh is that. The same with Figs, Apples (in season), and we have Pomegranates the size of footballs in October. All within 20 paces of my door.
