So – a brief bit of dialogue from last night (TOTES SAFE FOR WORK!)
Aylee: SLLLURRRP. Slurp slurp SLUURRRP!
Last night Miss Begonia supped on a Blueberry Smoothie. She, in fact, came up for air with a priceless Blue Moustache of Berryness. They are very simple and delish. For her edification when I die, or just for general interest, I will very briefly outlay the Blueberry Smoothie of Mmmm. Frozen blueberries required!
Step 1: Prep the DESTROYING ANGEL (i.e., the VitaMix). Plug the base unit in to the outlet, put on the blender hopper.
Step 2: Add a good dash (tablespoon or so) of chia seeds. While these are not critical, they are an important foundation for the texture of the meal/beverage/dessert/meal.
Add a good dash of fine cinnamon – I use Tung Hing, but that’s just because I’ve got a quart of the stuff at hand; about a teaspoon … or two!
Add a slosh of vanilla; not a whole teaspoon, I guess. No sense in overdoing it.
Step 3: Get your frozen blueberries – you’ll need to add about a liter (oh hell, about a quart) if you want enough to have left over.* Now, add a cup of pomegranate juice! Finally, for this step, get a glass of water and set aside so it’s easily on hand for adding while the Destroying Angel does its work.
Step 4: Turn IT on. Get the masher and mash the berries around; it’ll be too thick. You’ll have to add the water a good slosh at a time. MASH away! It should take a minute for the smoothie to smooth out – you’ll know it’s mixed and thinned enough when the top of the gooshy mixture starts to flow fitfully of its own accord.
Step 5: Turn off the Angel. Get a big vat to put the smoothie in; decant off the extra you might want to save for later** and place in a covered container and freeze.
Step 6: ENJOY. Slowly.
