My Blender!

Members Were Sparked

Having my blender and making really good tasting protein drinks helps me feel like I'm having a treat but it's good for me. I keep frozen berries of all kinds in my freezer.

Mock Gravy

No extra calories in this quick idea using ingredients already in your meal. When you've finished cooking potatoes with your roast beef, pork tenderloin, chicken or turkey, remove all of the vegetables from the drippings. Return some potatoes to the drippings & whizz them up with a hand blender. The consistency becomes just like gravy & doesn't add unnecessary flour/cornstarch etc calories. Just plain good food that you were already going to eat!

MORE INFORMATION:
If you don't have a hand blender, a regular counter top blender will do just fine.
