Magic Bullet

For the holidays I got my baby a Magic Bullet - for the kitchen, silly! I was skeptical, but now I'm using it a lot and I think it's a good addition to our already overcrowded kitchen. Here I made a smoothie with frozen berries, spinach, cardamom, and apple juice.

I've been making iced soy lattes, and today I'm going to try to use it to chop carrots for mung beans and rice. We often use our juicer, but sometimes it's nice to keep the thick smoothie intact with the fiber - sometimes I look at the back of the juicer and think we're losing a lot of the good food. Making a smoothie requires more preparing and chopping though, since I can't leave all the skin and seeds in like in the juicer.

And yes, it's so easy to clean! We'll see how long this Magic Bullet phase lasts. :-)
