ok everyone. listen up. i got a blender for around 60 bucks, this was about a month ago. it was this one.

alright. heres what. you take:

1 banana
1 scoop of lowfat vanilla yogurt
1 fist sized amount of frozen fruit like strawberries or whatever you want
that protein powder if thats your thing
a little bit of water

and you blend the shit out of it. thats it. theres two settings. fast and even faster. i usually add some ice, like 2 or 3 cubes at this point. why do i do it after blending all the other stuff and not right away. i dont know, it just works better that way.

once you do it a few times, youll have gotten the hang of it and youll be producing smoothies like nobodys business. youll think to yourself, why did i ever pay like 5 bucks at some douchey stand for this? then you remind yourself that its awesome. anyway, enjoy as i have enjoyed.

we've all settled on a decidedly less insistent tone in this particular forum

I thought that tone was wildly appropriate.

i'd have let it pass unaddressed if the recipe included something with some real zazz

There's something to be said for simplicity, Alex. Have you ever heard the drum styling of one Ringo Starr?

no

get outta here with all this ringo starr business. this is about smoothies and our enjoyment of them. now go make a smoothie and for fucks sake, ENJOY IT.

MERGE!
