One of my kitchen gadgets I cannot live without is my 1.5-cup food processor. What I love most about this cute little processor is that it takes up very little room and takes 30-seconds to clean. Again, back to the lazy thing, I really don't like cleaning 5-cup blenders and 12-cup food processors because mentally, it always makes me feel like cleaning them is doing a chore. The mini-me is effortless to clean and one of the things I love to make in it are smoothies.
I like thicker smoothies. Mine though are sometimes too thick and have a consistency closer to drinkable pudding, kinda like this very simple one I made the other day which was simply organic blueberries, half a banana, chopped walnuts, and rice milk. Fire up the mini-me and this smoothie makes for a great afternoon sweet snack packed with some MUFAs.
