subtlehousePrepackage frozen ingredients
Place a 4-cup container on the scale and tare it, with measurements in ounces. Add:
1 whole banana or 5 oz banana pieces
A couple of pieces of pear
Enough frozen berries to make a total of 18 ounces (should mostly fill the container)
1.5 ounces of chocolate chips
This makes enough for a double smoothie batch.
Make smoothies
Fill the blender to the 3-cup line with soy milk. (Make sure the actual level of the milk reaches the line, not just the top of the foam.)
Add 2 scoops protein powder.
Add 1 container of frozen fruit.
Blend on medium-low speed until all frozen ingredients have been at least partly blended; then gradually increase the speed to maximum and flip the turbo switch. At first there will be periods where the lower half of the smoothie churns while the upper half stays still, a central vortex will form and gradually suck in the upper half, and then the vortex will disappear and the upper half will stay still again. Continue blending on turbo until the vortex is constantly present, which means the smoothie has fully amalgamated.
Flip the turbo switch down, turn the speed to zero, and turn the blender off. Pour the smoothies into two large Starbucks cups and add straws and lids. If one is being saved for later, put it in the fridge (not freezer). Wash the blender immediately.
