Hamilton Blender

Sorry for not posting for a while!  I have been super busy with school work and whatnot.  To give myself more time in the morning, I have discovered the beauty that is the blending of fruit.  Literally, it is the best idea I have had all semester so far, maybe even this year.  I bought my Hamilton blender at Walmart for 20 dollars and it does magic.

So far, I have made two smoothies for myself using fruit lying around my house.  The first was a watermelon, kefir, and ginger smoothie, which had a really nice mixture of flavor and texture.  I prefer kefir because it is too thick to drink in the morning, but quite frankly is not thick enough to eat as a yogurt.  The second smoothie I made was a pear, banana, nutmeg, and rice milk smoothie.  I wish I got Bosc pears more often; they are my favorite type.  The green ones are too tough and also leave a bit of allergy on my lips.

These smoothies make a quick and nutritious breakfast.  Just this morning, I got two servings of fruit and not in a whole lot of calories, for those of you who are health-conscious.  I'll probably be making more, so keep an eye out!
