Drinks / Go the Green Smoothie
« on: July 11, 2009, 03:00:56 pm »
Does anyone else like green smoothies made with TM?  It was one of the reasons I couldn't wait for my TM to arrive. 
Most mornings I throw in      5-6 almonds,
                                        a teaspoon of seeds (pumpkin, sunflower),
                                        a tablespoon of oats,
                                        a pinch of dulse flakes and a pinch of wakami flakes (for all the minerals)
                                        Blend for 8-10secs on speed 9
                                        chuck in banana (break it into pieces)
                                        throw in a big handful of leafy greens - I love baby spinach, cos lettuce, silverbeet,
                                        pour in a cup of filtered water or more depending on how thick you like your drink
                                        Blend on speed 9 - 10 for 40+ seconds
                                        sometimes I drizzle in a little honey or maple syrup if I want it sweet but most times I leave it out.
                                        Pour into a huge glass and drink away.
My four Kids love this drink and it is one of my favourite morning starters.  I used to just use banana, greens and water but now I have the Bimby and can blend the seeds and oats it tastes more like a meal than a drink.
Using fresh baby spinach gives an awesome light green colour.   Try it and tell me what you think.

p.s this is my first recipe post so please forgive the layout. I'm sure I'll improve as I take note of how others have posted recipes.

Cheers!

Introduce Yourself / Gidday from North East Victoria
« on: July 11, 2009, 10:45:48 am »
Gidday everyone!   I am a new member as of yesterday.  Hoping I might have been the 500th?  I have been visiting this forum ever since I saw the TM31 back in about April.  I had not seen nor heard anything about the TM but when I saw it and tasted the food cooked with it - WOW!  I purchased about 5-6 weeks ago (had to save a bit) and I haven't looked back.
My wife took a little convincing at first (she wasn't at the demo where I first saw it) but we all went along to our delivery demo and she has used it to make biscuits/ bread/ fettucini bolognaise/ and uses it to help prep meals.  I love useing my Bimby as we call it. I've made butter, cashew nut butter, dips, and right now I am cooking a whole chook in the Varoma.  I love steaming chicken and fish in the Varoma.  The taste is so much better than a piece of oily fried chicken.  My kids love steamed lemon chicken.  We use it everyday.  I make green smoothies for me, banana and berry milkshakes for the kids and they love the custard and sorbets.   Looking forward to hearing from you all and sharing some cool recipes and ideas.

Cheers!   ;)
