I have to admit, it wasn't love at first sight.
Initially, I just thought you were a really expensive blender. Why would anyone pay that much for a blender??? But I misjudged you. You are so much more.
Our love affair started as an experiment. Let's see what all the fuss is about. I used your cookbook, I made a smoothie, and I was enthralled with the rich, creamy texture that you somehow concocted of nothing but fruit. How did you DO that??? The love affair grew steadily as I plowed through recipes. Soups, nut butters, pesto, hummus made with zucchini, ice cream, milk shakes, cake batter... And then, it happened.
I graduated to my first green smoothie.
I had tried this before, and the results were nothing but disastrous. Mind you, my last attempt was in my misguided youth, utilizing a plain old 12-speed blender. My "smoothie" resembled a chunky, partially digested salad and left much to be desired. Despite holding my nose and chugging as fast as I could, I couldn't even finish half. To be completely blunt, it was disgusting, left me slightly nauseous, and I couldn't believe anyone would voluntarily consume such a thing.
With you, all of this changed. With some pineapple (peeled, but uncored!), an orange (peeled), a quarter of a banana, and some ice, you took my lettuce, kale, and spinach, and transformed them into a luscious, creamy, smooth taste of heaven! I have used you almost every day since, and every day, I love you more and more. Thank you for coming into my life! You have given me a new and exciting way to get my daily nutrition and I couldn't imagine life without you.
<3 p="">Me.
