How To Make Smoothies?

A smoothie is a sweetened beverage of fruits or vegetables that is usually blended and chilled. So the first thing that you should have in order to make one, is either a fruit or a vegetable of your choice. You need to have ice cubes or crushed ice to make it frozen. You also need to have a blender to mix together all the ingredients but if it is not available you can make use of a shaker instead. You just need to do a lot of shaking to get the perfect blend if that is going to be the case.

On the shaker or blender, you put in either a fruit or vegetable, add 12-16 oz of your liquid (it can be yogurt or ice cream), plunge the ice cubes or crushed iced in (pouring in four to six cubes of ice should be sufficient enough), turn the blender on (or do the shaking if a blender is unavailable.

After some time, and the concoction is chilled enough to be served, you can put in a large glass. Put some sugar or honey if you want to have a more commercial taste but if you are concerned of your fitness and might be on a diet such as Cold Air Weight Loss, then you can have an artificial sweetener to replace a more fattening ingredient and make your drink less heavy on the stomach.

In just a matter of a few steps, you can have a delicious smoothie of your choice. You can also add some alcohol if you want to add a little twist on it but make sure to get the right ratio of ingredients so you won’t mess up with the taste. You can concoct all you want just make sure that you know the basics and then indulge on your smoothie.

The rubber band part in my electric food processors are getting black and I’m wondering how you can clean it. Also, the electric food processor of mine is also getting yellowish on the cup.

What are some food processor alternatives?

I’m planning on making hummus. I do not have a food processor though. Any ideas on what I can use?
