Guest guest Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Happy Sunday night everyone! My daughter in law and son were visiting last week from California. Jenna is lactose intolerant, so I made sure that none of my snacks or smoothies used yogurt or dairy products. Her absolute favorite was " ice cream " that I made using 4 frozen bananas and some frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries. With the concerns on the list about a week ago, I was curious as to how it would come out---well, it is a favorite in my house, and each time I made it, I somehow got my 4 fluffy pillows in each corner!!!! Other favorites were the chocolate Peanut butter (Dean's Peanut butter I think it was called). Our local store had the cans of honey roasted peanuts on sale BOGO so I picked up about 6....easy to measure!!! The kids put 4 jars of the stuff in their suitcase to take home, but are also going to be getting a vitamix of their own really soon!!! We got our vitamix about 3 weeks ago, and I have been making smoothies every morning for my family (adding spinach or kale to each one) and also making at least one more thing in it every day. OH---almost forgot that we have been making frozen lemonade/limeade mixed with different fruits. Frozen Watermelon limeade was a huge hit!!! And of course frozen berry limeade went over just as well. To make the frozen limeade, I took some frozen berries or watermelon and added some Naturally Fresh brand limeade and whizzed the machine (that's what my son calls it). OMG---if you like adult drinks, add some vodka or rum, but it was so refreshing in this dreadful heat. HUGS to all my Vitamix buddies on the list!
