I was never one to get into the logistics of smoothie making. Apparently, the order in which you blend your ingredients makes a difference. Usually, I just throw everything into a blender and pulse until I don’t have any more chunks. Is that not the right way to do it?
I don’t have a fancy blender or anything, so smoothie making is kind of a hassle for me. There’s a lot of shaking, moving, swirling, and banging going on in my kitchen. Lucky for us, our apartment has cement walls so I don’t wake anyone up while making my morning smoothie.
My future MIL and abuela found out that we don’t have a very good blender and actually gifted us a compact blender for Christmas. I can’t wait to give it a try!
This smoothie didn’t have a very pretty color, which is why I called it the “blackout smoothie.” Who cares what it looks like as long as it tastes good, right? 🙂
