Craving the Fresh Foods

in #food7 years ago

As winter draws to a close and the garden is not yet growing - I find myself craving fresh fruits and vegetables

As a 5 years of service thank you from a company that I moonlight for, I was able to select from a list of gifts. I instantly went for the Ninja! As a fan of green smoothies I have coveted this machine but could not bring myself to fork over the cash for one. I now realize that I should have years ago!

The torque of this blender coupled with 6 blades stacked about 7" tall, makes for easy work of blending an assortment of foods. Sometimes I get a little carried away and go for quantity of quality over flavor. As you might notice in the picture above there are 2 garlic cloves in this blend - I do not recommend it unless you are brave 😂

I normally try to buy local if I am not eating from a garden but for the cravings I have been having coming out of winter I had to go to the local Safeway. Lucky for me, they now stock a large supply of organic produce.

If you are a fan of green smoothies like myself, I would recommend looking into purchasing a Ninja or a similar quality blender - it is a game changer! I am back in daily green smoothies and feel like I am riding a wave of sunlight into the spring and summer months as a result.

Happy Steeming!

I LOVE my ninja set! I have a set of 4 different sized blenders...and they completely changed our cooking game. When we first got them, the blades were so sharp that my finger grazed it and sliced me open! I passed out a few minutes later! Not because of blood loss...but because I can't handle losing my blood! 😂

But! I hear you on the fresh fruit and veg! There's a need to stop hunkering down with "stay warm" winter foods and start eating light and fresh!

Eat with the seasons! Sorry to laugh at your misfortune but that is a good story 😂 Those blades are dangerously sharp! "Changed your cooking game" - what do you guys do with it besides smoothies? I would love to find other ideas/recipes!

Thanks for stopping by!

Haha If I couldn't laugh about all the times I'vr passed out for somthing small..well...I'd be real upset! Lol It's not so bad if I'm by myself, but if @freedompoint is with me, I lose my crap! He really doesn't like it though...it totally freaks him out! I wish he would just patch me up while I'm out! 😂

As far as the ninja goes it really helped with our vegan lifestyle. There were so many plant based recipes that called for some kind of food processor to make sauces, desserts, or blend up veg and beans to make different entres and I was finally able to do it! Haha So it really gave us more options.

That is great! I think I always crave the green haha. We have a Ninja set, but thwy are the smaller blenders. Three different sizes. They arw amazing! Be well!

I think I see what you did there 😜 Momma says to eat your greens ;) I hope you guys are starting to thaw out! Steem on!

The Ninja is a fabulous tool for the kitchen! We love ours, too!
