Been Awhile...Blenders

So it has been a while since I have written in this blog. I was wanting to find a new hobby, and for some reason this did not stick. Since I do not have school to drag me down anymore, I now have more free time to write random shit. Now I will being where I have left off, my musings about every day life.

Blenders are an extremely useful item to have in a home. I mean, seriously. These things are great. You can make shakes out of pretty much anything. If you have ice cream laying around with milk? Bam, you have a perfect shake. My brother would always make these 1000+ calories shakes by adding chocolate ice cream, milk, yogurt, fresh fruit, and protein powder. These would be made after a work out, and damn they were amazing. They were a meal in istelf, and it was not TOO unhealthy. It is extremely filling and really easy to make. It is pretty much a meal that is delicious, especially on a hot summer day.

Another fantastic thing my brother has done with a blender was making a great alcoholic smoothie type mix. We took a good bit of really cheap vodka and put it into the blender and added some frozen pink lemonade concentrate. Mix this concoction up and you have got an amazing tasting drink.The worst vodka can be used to make a great drink that gets you really really drunk.

These are just two examples of the amazingness of blenders. Do you guys have any good recipes for just delicious drinks and or shakes?

  4. This is so true, I really don't know what I would do without my blender. I use it for all sorts of things, grinding spices, making soups. Some of my favourite drinks to make are frozen banana smoothies (freeze a banana, blend it with milk and sugar to taste) and frozen pineapple (freeze pineapple, add water and sugar to taste).

  11. Blenders turn waste into tastiness. Over-ripe bananas use to get thrown out, but now i just turn them into delicious smoothies.
