I made this up when I got home from school today because I accidentally bought a wrap that had olives in it (if you've read my about me page you'll know that I detest olives) and had rancid breath for hours. I wanted something scrumptious and cleansing immediately, and voila- a smoothie! I know that I've been posting non-stop about smoothies, which may seem ridiculous considering that all that you need for a good smoothie is some fruit or veggies. However, even though this recipe is super duper simple I thought that it would be a nice way to remind people to throw in some unexpected ingredients into their smoothies once in a while.
Ingredients
1 cup of lychee juice (there are variations on the spelling), pear juice, actual lychees, or chopped up pear
1 cup of frozen strawberries
1 frozen banana
Give ingredients a whirl in the blender and serve immediately.
Sweet tooth acting up?
Put a whopping dollop of whipped cream in with the fruit. Nummmm.

Top 10 Best Hand Blender Reviews, or more properly, ‘immersion blenders,’ are a chef or home cook’s best friend. In the restaurant setting, we commonly call it a ‘magic wand’ because it’s such a useful and versatile tool.
They are great for a couple reasons…
you can blend a soup or sauce without even taking it off the range
they mix much more thoroughly and quickly than a whisk
make an emulsification (stable mixture of a fat and acid such as in vinaigrette) in a very short amount of time without breaking a sweat
they are very easy to clean
many brands have variable speed control
As far as recommending a brand…
this is the little guy we use at work:
