The Waiting Game and a Banana Thickshake

As my place is full of scents from tonight dinner slowely cooking in the slow cooker, I am sitting here with nothing else to do. I have listed close to 50 things on ebay, as I'm trying to save money to get my sons and I out of this yardless shoe box of a place. I have also made banana thick shakes and a couple of delicious coffees. 

So as I sit here, waiting for the next hour to pass for dinner to be ready, I thought I would pop on and  ramble, as that is what I am really good at... rambling about nothing in particular. Well I am going to add a recipe... my recipe for a delicious Banana Smoothy.

But first I must share this pic..:

A delicious skinny latte, with a very stinky lavender candle burning in my Cherry Blosson partylite candle holder things... seriously can life be anymore bliss... well apart from the stinky candle. My boys bought it for me for mothers day and wanted me to light it up today... what we do for our kids. lol

 Ok now that is done... here is my recipe for the perfect Banana Smoothy and one kids love... even those that claim they dont like bananas, or ones that claim they dont like honey. I have gone through both of these stages with my two older sons and guess what, they both love these Smoothies.

BANANA SMOOTHY

Ingredents

INGREDIENTS

Banana's

Yoghurt

Milk

A pinch of Nutmeg

Ingredients you can use

Frozen or Fresh berries

Honey

Method

 Place all ingredients into blender and Blend. I have not mentioned how much of everything to use, it really depends on taste and what you want. With this Smoothy I used two banana's, 150ml of Milk and roughly a 2/3 cup yoghurt and a pinch of nutmeg.

Now as I mentioned there are a few things you can also add in, Like honey and berries. My advice is only use Honey when using plaing or Greek Yoghurt, it helps make it a tad sweeter. But what ever you do, do not use sugar or artificial sweetener.

I like to use Yoghurts with Berries through it, like the one I used today, the boys love it and it disguises most of the banana taste.

During summer I instead of Yoghurt, I love to use either frozen Yoghurt or Ice cream.

I have also at times mixed in Milo when I am using ice cream, a Choc Banana Smoothie...always goes down a treat with my boys.

I used to make this using my handblender, however all the bits broke and I am currently trying to find a decent and cheap one... impossible. So I am currently using this blender I picked up from Kmart from $25 and trust me, its made its money back and has lasted close to a year.

And this is the finished product... two Banana & Berry Smoothies, even with a Lava Lamp in the background.

So for me now, I am off to get that last bit of dinner ready... Garlic bread, and then I will be back on later to let everyone know how dinner went. Hopefully it will taste as great as it smells.
