Well I pulled out my Magic Bullet system tonight and gave it a whirl. I decided to try a fruit smoothie....YUMMMM! I put a container of vanilla yogurt, 5 frozen strawberries, about 1/2 cup frozen blueberries and 1/2 a banana. I also added a little milk to thin it out. After whizzing it for about 10 seconds I had a delicious fruit smoothie. I can see myself doing this in the mornings to drink while I'm getting ready. It would be an easy way to add in a fruit and dairy serving every day.
I've read through the recipe book and found a few recipes I want to try. I'll update when I try them.

Hot Chocolate and Spiced Tea mixes
These are family favorite recipes that I have had since I was a child. My Mom made hot chocolate mix for me and spiced tea mix for my sister. We still to this day have our favorite and rarely stray from them. The hot chocolate mix is a very creamy chocolaty mix that is so much better than those little pouches that you buy in the store. The spiced tea is very fragrant and tasty. Both are great for gifts. You can put the mix in cellophane bags, tie with a ribbon and put in a nice coffee mug. Be sure to include the recipe or instructions for how to serve.
I watched Tyler Florence make marshmallows today on The Food Network but I'm not that brave yet...lol! I seriously thought about it but not this year.
HOT CHOCOLATE
1 (8qt) box powdered milk
1 (1lb) box Nestle Quik chocolate mix
1 (1lb) box powered sugar
1 (1lb) coffee creamer
Mix the 4 ingredients together. Store in closed container. To serve, put 1/3 cup of mix into a cup; fill with boiling water. Stir and add marshamllows.
I usually find the closest amount to what the recipe says and use that. It's yummy!
SPICED TEA
2 (26oz) jars instant organge flavored breakfast drink (Tang)
1 (3 oz) jar instant tea
1 (6 oz) sweetened lemon flavored drink mix
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. ground allspice
Combine all ingredients, stirring well. Store in airtight container. To serve, place 2 tablespoons of mix into a cup; add boiling water and stir well. If not stored in airtight containe, it will get hard.
