It's a one-serving blender. I like to call it "the smoothie machine," although I do recognize that it can make other things besides smoothies. For example, tomorrow it's going to make a frappuccino.
This is how you set it up. (You can't quite see it in the picture, but the intention of the contraption is that the lid is a travel lid and you can take the whole blending cup and lid with you on the go. I find that the bottom is a little too small compared to the top for me to feel comfortable in its balance, but that's okay.)
Almost done! (The chopstick is because I don't have a rubber spatula. Okay, I don't have any spatulae, nor do I have knives. My cooking life is very limited. But the chopstick works for encouraging ice cubes and fruit down where they should go. Note: Do NOT attempt to operate blender without lid, or with anything besides preselected ingredients in the blender. Otherwise you will either end up with a countersmoothie, or undesired ingredients. Haven't done this, not going to.)
Don't forget to clean up before enjoying the joy!
Now, some people, on a Friday night after a long week at seminary may add a little choco powder (in this case, hot chocolate mix) to their smoothie. I am one of these people. I didn't add much, it's not a prevalent flavor, but it does fit. I am also discovering that one of the berries in the mix (I'm guessing the rasp) has waaay too hard seeds that are distracting from the experience, but I'll get over it, and maybe next time just get frozen strawberries.
I wrote a poem about the smoothie machine, to be sung to the tune of "Music Machine":
Smoothie machine, smoothie machine,
The greatest contraption that you’ve ever seen.
Whatever you’re feeling down about,
Put froz’stuff in it and a smoothie comes out!
