SMOOTHIES
This High speed blender will power through the toughest fruit and vegetables. Remember
to remove stones from fruit such as peaches, nectarines and cherries as these will damage
the blade.
If making fruit juice rather than a smoothie the juice will need to be strained using muslin
cloth, this way the result will be a thin, clear smooth liquid rather than a smoothie which
will be rich and thick and have all the fibre remaining.
It is also possible to make nut milks in the blender. For a preservative free delicious creamy
taste, simply soak 150g nuts overnight in filtered water, drain and then blend with 700ml of
filtered water on HIGH for 60 seconds. For totally smooth milk, you will need to strain the
liquid before using either using muslin cloth or a specially designed nut milk bag.
