After a somewhat surprising turn to the weekend program, I am in no mode to start writing long post right now. My bed has put a spell on me and right now I should be heading that direction... But, I just wanted to share my latest discovery with you.
The kids had some strawberry soft ice cream tonight. And in order to make it less fruity and more veggie-like, I mixed in some zucchini in the blend. They did not notice a thing! And even better, we had more soft ice to share! All of it was gone in less than 20 minutes and I heard some complaints about "ajjjj, kallaaa" (auch, cold!) as the pinkish smooth blend disappeared down the throuts of very eager ice cream eaters. Gluttony, one of the seven sins. But in this family it's far from a sin when the ingredients are as in the below recipe.
Strawberry Soft Ice:
1 avocado
1/2 pealed zucchini
1 banana
1/3 bag of frozen mango cubes
10-15 frozen strawberries
vanilla powder (nb: it's only powder, no sugar in it)
---> All mixed together to a smooth blend,
topped with coconut flakes for the fun of it!
Next time I think I'll try hiding some almonds or maybe sesame seeds in the mixture as well, boosting the calcium level in the ice cream... There is a risk though that our fine taster will detect such attempts, so I'd better make two batches in case the first one is rejected.
