Smoothies – Ninja-style

Originally uploaded by improvisationalgourmet

My new favorite toy is the Ninja Blender. I like it because it comes with two sizes — a small blender, and a pitcher. There is a dual blade system that really does the trick. Pulsing the Ninja creates wonderfully chopped foods. Holding the blending button down creates wonderfully creamy treats!

The Girl Scouts were over to my house and we made Smooties. We had fresh fruit, ice, and the juice from canned fruit that we used. I have also put yogurt in them.

It was such a hit that when one mother’s blender broke down, her daughter said you have to get a Ninja!
