Quick Fix: Peanut butter smoothie
It tasted like peanut butter and bananas
All right. Images are working again, the food page is almost finished, and I’m going to be reformatting old updates retroactively over the next couple of weeks. The way things will work is pretty simple. Instead of having two separate articles for each thing I make (a post on the front page and a food page) there will just be a link at the bottom of each post. Clicking on that will send you over to the fill post, which will contain all of the extra content that would otherwise appear on the food page. That would include the ingredients list and the recipe, more or less.
About this peanut butter smoothie. So far not one person I have described it to seems to think that it is a good idea, which I can understand. Mixing orange juice, peanut butter, strawberries and bananas sounds a little strange. It tastes a little strange too, but in a good way. I think.
The story behind it is pretty simple; I was hungry and thirsty and didn’t have anything frozen to thicken up a smoothie. The next logical choice was peanut butter. The only problem was that I had all of my fruit in the blender already and it was soaking in orange juice. There is no going back once there is orange juice in the blender.
As soon as the peanut butter was in the blender I was fairly positive that this was going to be a tragedy. Well, I probably wouldn’t be blogging about it if it was. The smoothie turned out extremely thick due to the peanut butter. It also ended up tasting like bananas dipped in peanut butter, which was actually very good. In fact, if you’ve never had bananas dipped in peanut butter I highly recommend it.
If in the future you find yourself with a bowl of fruit and nothing frozen to thicken up a smoothie, consider the stranger things in your pantry. Like peanut butter.
Gallery Update: Seven Fruit Smoothie
- Pineapple, orange, banana, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry.
After the Goetta Hobo sandwich and a solid week of midterms I really just wanted to make something simple. My brother was down here for the weekend, Devin and Jake were hanging around, and all of my meats were frozen. I had picked up some fat-free, vanilla yogurt and frozen mixed berries for this specific purpose, so smoothies seemed like a pretty good idea.
The smoothie made enough for four people to have a decent 3/4 a glass. Smoothies are, thankfully, extremely simple. So simple in fact that I did not bother to take down measurements, so the recipe over at the gallery has estimations for measurements. It is possible to just add more frozen things, juice or yogurt to the mix as well, so it’s really just a matter of trial and error.
I know that my mom will add protein powder and things to her smoothies, and they seem to still be pretty darn good. Just something to keep in mind.
Expect a Valentine’s Day update and maybe one more during the week here.
Edit: Thank you, Devin. There is orange juice in the smoothie. In fact, it’s the base.
