So far, we have only played with fun things. Yummy fruit smoothies for ds, and I had some of his today, and ht chocolate to "christen" the machine yesterday. White hot choc. for ds.
Today's smoothie was mango, blueberries, strawberries, pomegranate juice, Greek 2% yogurt, coconut milk(vanilla flavored), little honey. Yum!
Last night was a similar concoction, with a mixed bag of berries that included cherries, and reg. milk, but the rest was about the same.
I have to work at the school today and there is a great produce market/store close to it, so I waited until today to shop for fresh produce. They also carry VNF stuff. Need to get dd some Tannabars.
Kids heard me discussing smoothies with dh(green ones) so I thought we needed to make some yummy, fun ones so as not to scare them off of them. Might sneak in a spinach leaf or two, a carrot here and there and ease them into having a bit of veggie in them. They are not good veggie eaters, so this could help get some into them.
No way will my kids do a true green smoothie, lol.
Easy to use and clean, so far.
eta: well, the fruit/yogurt/honey smoothie is not going to work for me. I was hoping there was enough protein in the yogurt to offset the BG spike. But 142 about an hour after is much higher than I like. The goal, medically, is under 140(I shoot for under 120) at 2 hours. Will see where I go over the next hour. I usually try to stay between 90-120's at all times.
I am guessing, on top of it being a carb-y smoothie, the blender makes it more rapidly digestible. Will have to see how greens with fruits go.
