First use of the blender other than the initial washing. Halved a recipe from the Create binder cookbook since I only needed for one. It still yielded two large glasses of an army green colored drink that I sipped and quickly added one spoon of Hershey's baking cocoa and remixed. The cocoa didn't improve the color and children would probably say it looks like a green mud puddle. It really isn't bad tasting and maybe didn't really need the cocoa. I did finish it without any problem. The banana seems to overpower the other ingredients. I used 1/2 c water, 1/2 c almond milk, 1 c baby spinach, 1/2 c fresh strawberries, 1 frozen banana, and six ice cubes. It came out just a little thinner than a Julius stand smoothie. The tamper wasn't needed. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
