Made a smoothie for my kids recently. They often have it at their mom’s house, so I guess they wanted to give me a chance to perform. I’ve had varied results in the past.

The ingredients? Well, they were taken from a couple recipes, make-shift: frozen fruit, a handful of greens, some rice milk, a few ice cubes, and heathy dollop of lemon juice (I didn’t have the lime the recipe preferred).

Couple tries to fine tune the mix from the past informed my process, I was hopeful, yet also uncertain.

My modest blender with orange base, all plastic but for the blades and electronics, churned away for a bit then,

Then perfect blending swirl appeared in the middle of the liquid melee and the magic mixture came together,

And it was well received!

The lessons? Keep trying for try perfect mix, you’ll get there. And smoothies are a very functional food medium for kids to eat more greens.

GOOD.
