rootofnewtIt's summer. Well, the calendar says no, but the thermometer certainly registers in the 80s. I'm wilting in the heat.
So what's better than frosty fruity food? Frosty fruity food in a blender!
I tossed some frozen fruit in the blender--this time it was peaches and blueberries. I added enough coconut milk to see--about a third of a cup, give or take. Adn then I kept blending and pulsing until everything was perfect. Ah, yes, I added a scoop of whey protein powder (stevia sweetened, vanilla flavored) because my doctor thinks I need more protein.
Served in bowls to my husband and a friend who were quite wisely sitting outside in the shade, rather than slaving over a blender.
It has the consistency of softserve ice cream, but it will soften quickly.
After sitting in the heat some more tonight, I decided I wanted more frosty goodness. Wild blueberries, raspeberries, and peaches all came out of the freezer. I used some more coconut milk, added some yogurt (yay! live cultures!) to thin it, decided to toss in a scoop of powder because it's not like I ate anything today (well, other than the curry and dal for dinner).
And now I sit, enjoying the chilly refreshment.
