Food was a recurrent theme among my Christmas gifts this year. Any kitchen gadget lover can understand my thrill over this one. (Thanks dad!) A Cuisine Art immersion hand-held blender ! Whooo hooo!
It boasts the ability to whip up smoothies, puree soups, and froth milk for your cappuccino! It's powerful, speedy and clean up is a cinch because the blending shaft detaches with one click to rinse under water or put in the dishwasher.
For all of you out there in the mood for a tasty and health boosting smoothie, here's a little recipe I whipped up this morning (a regular blender will do just fine).
Strawberry Banana Smoothie with Flax Seed 1-2 servings
1 small banana3-4 frozen strawberries
1 cup low fat plain organic Lifeway Kefir Yogurt (Kefir is essentially a drinkable yogurt, with the bonus that it contains even more beneficial bacteria than regular yogurt) 1 Tbsp ground flax seed (for fiber and omega-3) 1 tsp honey
