I threw a moderately ripe banana, some frozen blueberries, and some milk to fill half a barrel glass, about 8oz, and used a Proctor-Silex hand blender to make a stirred not shaken smoothie.
The taste was a little lightweight, but can be tuned to taste, but it was mostly banana.
The blueberries were somebody's tiny Wild Blueberries, 3lbs worth.
Mixing was great.
I mushed the banana and berries a few time, put the blender in and pressed Play.
The mixture didn't climb up the sides like in a desktop blender, so that was a plus.
The base of the blender fit on the bottom of the glass with room to spare, so all the bits got smoothed, no aliasing.
I really liked it.
Maybe more banana, more berries, I don't know, but it's nice change from a full on milkshake.
Kale is not an option.
I forgot to get some vanilla, so that's on the list, which I may or may not consult.
Sugar could be added as well as ice cream and syrups, but that takes me into different territory.
Not that it's a bad thing, but right now I want to KIS.
One bunny trial I wouldn't mind traveling, is making an orange smoothie that tastes like the Orange Creamsicle - 50/50 Bar.
I see there are various recipes, so that's something I'll look into.
Thanks to all for your suggestions; I would never have bothered, otherwise.
