VitaMix 5200 Engineering and Making Strawberry Ice Cream
Because of the great engineering this machine can make juice, cook soup, make ice cream and grind grain. After explaining about the VitaMix 5200 I show how easy it is to make strawberry ice cream.
How does one make a tasty smoothie without adding a juice or milk base?
Would the juice from the fruits you toss in the blender suffice in making a tasty thick smoothie? Is there an extra something needed?
I prefer to juice my own fruits, but I no longer possess a juicer. Milk doesn’t agree with me, so it isn’t an option. I always feel like I HAVE to add some kind of liquid base, but is it even necessary?
Why Consider Protein Powder
Healthy protein powder is one of the top dietary supplements out there today. It is used by weightlifters, athletes and more so now than ever before, regular people. As an alternative to having a sit down breakfast, or skipping breakfast for a giant cup of coffee, or even grabbing a heavy sugar and fat laden breakfast on the go – you can now mix protein shakes.
Breakfast is Important!
Everyone has heard the saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But if we face the truth of the matter how many of us take the time to eat right when we are rushing off to our morning activities? Very few…
Breakfast is essential to determine how your body will perform during the day. If you don’t eat, your body will conserve calories from the get go. If you eat a sugary meal it will demand more calories almost as soon as you are done eating. If you pump it full of caffeine with nothing else to buffer your adrenals will have to work overtime. That is why a meal high in fiber and protein is really the best option. Slow burning fuel works well in the body and will set the pace for your body for the day.
The Benefits
Healthy organic protein powder is not just for use by athletes any more. It is for anyone in need of a meal that can’t create that meal from whole healthy foods. Protein powder can fill in the gap where there would otherwise be nothing or no substitute.
The main benefit is the protein itself. Protein is essential as it is the main building block of our body cells and we need it to stay healthy and strong. Protein is also key in the regulation of blood sugar levels and appetite management. Protein also plays many other functions in hormone, enzyme and cellular interactions within the body.
Protein powder shakes often work out to less a couple dollars a serving and can be sufficient to keep you going until your next meal. That is the beauty of protein powders they can really help to manage your intake of food.

The Bosch is powered by an 800 watt motor that allows the mixer to apply an incredible amount of torque to any mixing job that you will do. Also, rather than employ a direct gear transmission drive that is standard in most kitchen mixers, the Bosch has a belt drive, sealed oil transmission which not only increases the effectiveness of the mixer but also prolongs the life expectancy of the unit.

Bosch has constructed one of the most versatile and useful kitchen appliances that you will add to your kitchen. And with this purchase you won’t be able to help yourself but become a better cook.
Smoothie Maker (Portable)
Why would you need a portable smoothie maker? Presumably for various reasons, seasons and places – You may want to produce smoothie while you are off camping, on a boat, a caravan trip, group trip on a private coach, having an outdoor party or barbecue or perhaps you are a caterer for big events in multiple locations such as weddings etc. A portable smoothie blender will certainly come in handy for making a great day.
The kind of features you will need on your portable smoothie maker will differ according to where you need to use it and the facilities available there.
So what do you need to consider before you buy a portable smoothie maker. Firstly, you may need to thing about a power source. Portable smoothie makers are powered by either the mains or a battery however, since they require a lot of power to drive their motor blades quickly, if you’re getting a battery powered smoothie machine, possibly because you are not in a mains connected area, you will need to find one with a very powerful battery – preferably one with a specialised rechargeable battery. In this case you may also want to purchase and pack a charged spare battery as well.
What about size and shape? You will obviously want your portable smoothie maker to be as compact as possible (with possibly the exception of the blender jar). With some portable smoothie makers you can get a special packing case or bag to make them easy to transport safely and conveniently. You should check this if before you buy.
What about weight? You’ll want your smoothie maker to be as light as possible especially if you need to carry it a long distance or up and down the stairs, or in cramped conditions, but on the other hand it mustn’t be made of flimsy material but has to be durable enough to cope with the rigours of moving it around. Certainly you’ll need to avoid it having a heavy solid metal base.
The controls on your smoothie maker should be as few and as simple as possible. They should also be fairly large and easy to manoeuvre, as you may need to use the blender in a cramped space or dark environment such as on a boat or at a barbecue or even on a moving vehicle such as a caravan. If it has an electronic panel or gauge, this should be large, clear and brightly lit.
Next, your smoothie maker should be comprised of as few units to put together as possible to avoid the danger of important parts getting lost in transit and rendering the whole unit useless.
A portable smoothie maker will be great for making your day out to be great fun. The best judges of how fit for purpose any particular item is are the users. Since you can’t possibly test every smoothie maker, the next best thing is to read through user reviews to find out what actual users say about them and expert reviews so you can find out more about their features, pros and cons.
What do the settings on a blender mean?
this was the first time i’ve tried using a blender, btw -.-’
I was trying to make a smoothie/milkshake and the blender had stir, mix and liquify settings
As I did not know which one to use, i just pressed the mix . i was wondering what
each of those settings is good for and which type of ingrediants should be used with each setting.
Can you help?
