 Does anyone know how to make smoothies....? ...without going bankrupt? I bought a blender and a recipe book a few months ago thinking I could benefit my health and save money by making myself a daily fruit smoothie. However, I've tried a couple of times to make the recipes in the book and I always seem to end up spending a LOT. Yesterday I went to Tesco, bought half of the ingredients for a recipe and realised that it had already come to £10 and I hadn't even bought the expensive ingredients AND the recipe only yields two glasses!! It seems to me that the cheaper (and better tasting option) is to just buy smoothies already made. Even though they're incredibly expensive too! That was the reason I bought the blender in the first place! Has anyone actually found any good recipes that are cheaper than just buying them already bottled? Well, I don't know what kind of smoothie you were making, but smoothies are REALLY cheap to make! You will need fruit, yogurt, juice, ice cubes, milk, and possibly other ingredients depending on the recipe. You usually don't even need all of those things that I listed above. Here are a few recipes that are cheap: Breakfast Replacement Smoothie Ingredients: 1/2 cup Grape Nuts cereal Purple Cow Smoothie (Grape) Ingredients: 2 cups vanilla ice cream (that’s the cow part) Green Envy Avocado Smoothie Ingredients: 2 bananas Danielle G Smoothie Recipe Ingredients: 2 1/2 to 3 cups of Welch’s strawberry Breeze Juice (or fill blender little less than half way full) submitted by Danielle G Raspberry Chocolate Smoothie Ingredients: 1 cup frozen or fresh raspberries Banana Breakfast Smoothie Recipe Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups fat free milk In a blender container combine all ingredients, except cinnamon. Cherry Smoothie Recipe Ingredients: 1 very ripe banana, peeled Serving size: one cup. Makes ten servings. Eggnog Smoothie Recipe 4 ice cubes Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie INGREDIENTS 8 oz. chocolate milk Tangerine Berry Smoothie Recipe 1⁄2 cup lowfat or nonfat plain yogurt I don't know if you will ike any of them, but... Here are some sites that have endless amounts of recipes for smoothies: http://www.smoothieweb.com/ |

FOOD INFORMATION
Many people assume that if a hamburger is brown in the middle, it is done. However, looking at the color and texture of food is not enough—you have to use a food thermometer to be sure! According to USDA research, 1 out of every 4 hamburgers turns brown before it reaches a safe internal temperature. The only safe way to know if meat, poultry, and egg dishes are "done" is to use a food thermometer. When a hamburger is cooked to 160 °F, it is both safe and delicious!
MADE, PRODUCED IN CHINA GET WARNING
Public confidence in the Made in China label has been rocked in recent years by a series of product safety scandals.
Most recently, tainted milk claimed the lives of four children in China and sickened tens of thousands, and triggered import bans of Chinese-made dairy products across the globe.
The United Nations released a report Wednesday urging China to set up a single regulatory agency to monitor the safety of food products from the farm to the table.
The report says China's oversight of food products is split between numerous agencies and their tasks complicated by numerous laws and regulations.
WHO food Safety Chief Jorgen Schlundt says the cumbersome system resulted in a slow response when the tainted milk scandal emerged in September.
Chinese milk producers added the industrial chemical melamine in their products to make them appear richer in protein. Melamine can cause kidney stones, and even life-threatening kidney failure in some cases.
On October 20, 2008, Confirmed cases of E.coli were linked to a Harvey’s Restaurant in North Bay Ontario.
More confirmed cases rose to 35-health officials claim. Health officials also said they know of a total of confirmed case of E coli 0157:H7 in the outbreak, involving eight health units in Ontario.
The out break was likely caused by human error rather then undercooked hamburger meat, a professor of food sciences, University of Manitoba, who has worked for Agriculture Canada.
