New Blender
I bought myself a shiny new blender on the weekend. Yay, hardware. It was a toss up between the sunbeam and a model (brand forgotten) with a round vessel. This model had less wattage. Neither my brother nor I have any idea what makes a good blender. They both had 6 blades. Juice bars use square vessels. And they blend a lot of stuff. So I went with the square one. It makes good smoothies. And desserts. Here it is pictured in preparation to make a green smoothie – a vegan classic.
- 2 bananas
- 1 handful of spinach
- 1 cup of water (enough to thin it out a bit – might need more)
Blend! So yeah it’s green. Deal with it. Tastes like banana. Mmmm, delicious.
UPDATE: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter, makes it a bit creamier. Yes, I know this sounds weird, but you’re already drinking something green so get over it already.
UPDATE 2 (7 Nov 09): Here is a short video of me making a variant. Recently (being summer) I have taken to putting ice in as well to cool it down. Refreshing!

Sounds good! I would make one right now except I don't have bananas or spinach. Time to go grocery shopping I guess.

I got a chance to buy some spinach and bananas and I made this. It is pretty good, and definitely has a lot of what I want to get into my diet. I'll definitely make this again.
I drank about two thirds of it, and then added a handful of blueberries to the remaining third. The blueberries made it taste quite a bit better to me.
