I am feeling quite pleased
about the acquisition of my brand new half-price (£15), Smoothie 2
Go from Kenwood.
I have a vision of
achieving a slimmer physique and glowing skin in a number of days
simply as a result of handing over my visa card at the till..
Wait – What do you
mean I have to do more? Ugh.. ok. Let me work this out.
Two hours on
Pinterest.. and a couple of ‘have you seen the new Marvel
trailer for… ‘ and ‘..did you see that video of the
gymnasts doing those crazy ab-crunching exercises?’ texts, and I
have dragged myself BACK to my original purpose. Smoothie recipes.
Oh. Ok, this doesn’t
look like too much work. I can do this!
I start by rummaging in the kitchen. Red apples, cucumbers,
and lemons.
Hmn.. I don’t so.
I decide to pop out for fruit and veg.
As I lay my new
acquisitions on the kitchen counter, I wonder what was
I thinking when I picked up the two grapefruits?
I had no clear plan for
those, but I set to dividing the rest of my purchases into
clear plastic bags (as seen on Pinterest – be prepared to
read that phrase a LOT if you stick with this blog).
Throwing the sealed
bags into the freezer, I remember I have every intention of making
my first smoothie immediately – and pull one bag out again.
Two minutes later I
also remember I have a ‘single-portion’ blender, not a family
sized one, and resign myself to pulling selected ingredients out of
the self-seal bag and wedging them bit by bit, into the blender cup
for processing..
This prep-thing will
improve.
Half of the
fruit and veg in the freezer bag, fits into the blender cup.
Note: Small freezer
bags next time, not medium.
My first smoothie is
comprised of the ingredients below.
One quarter of a peeled
lemon
As much spinach as I
could squeeze into the cup
Coconut water (from a
can, because who has time?)
I can’t downplay the
delight I feel as I blend it up.. LOOK - it’s working!
Taste test..
...nice! Mission accomplished.
