JoEllen, you made my margarita glass smile! This morning I made your ice cream shake and it was delish. You have my brain working overtime with ways I can change up the flavors...orange, blueberry, almond, even just plain vanilla. Adding the nut butter must give it the taste of cream.

It made a pretty big shake, so I had a bit leftover to eat in 1/2 hour. I put that portion in the freezer and when it was half frozen, i mixed the icy and unfrozen parts together. Numbo!

Thanks, JoEllen, you made my day

: I banana (I use greenish because I'm
: on step 7 and don't want the
: sweetness)
: unsweetened vanilla almond milk
: unsweetened protein powder (I use 1.5
: scoops)
: 4-5 small frozen broccoli florets
: 9 ice cubes (the size the ice maker
: makes)
: about 3/4 cup of cooked steel cut
: oats (regular or instant also
: works)
: cocoa powder
: a Big spoon full of peanut butter or
: almond butter

: It's good to put things in in that
: order in the blender, with the
: almond milk on the bottom and the
: frozen things just above the
: protein powder. It takes a lot of
: blending and grinding and
: stirring, and it's hard work for
: the blender, but the reward is a
: creamy, thick and delicious ice
: cream consistency.

: Let me know if you like your new
: improved margarita!

: JoEllen
