I’m addicted to the Banana Chocolate Vivannos at Starbucks. So yesterday, I went out and got everything I needed to make them myself and a new travel mug with a straw. I got up early this morning so I could have plenty of time.
But things didn’t go as planned. I got everything in the blender and it exploded. I’m guessing the little connector ring was bad or something, but I turned it on and everything started running out the bottom. (Yes, I checked to make sure it was twisted on tight). When it was all said and done, it wouldn’t come back apart any my kitchen was a disaster. I mean, I guess that’s what I get for spending $20 on a blender and then trying to use it 9 years later. I wish I would have stopped to take a picture during the episode, but all I have to show for it is the dishcloths to clean it up.
The benefit of a broken blender? Getting a new, bright, shiny one! Isn’t she pretty?
And I had to fix a smoothie as soon as I got it home! I started with 1/2 cup Almond Breeze…
a cup of ice cubes
A tablespoon or so of peanut butter
a banana
a scoop of vanilla protein powder
and after a few pulses…
a big glass for Nathan
and a little glass for me!
oh. my. goodness. so yummy!
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s creation! We’re already excited for morning!
