My husband Burdette (PWP) has experienced more difficult swallowing issues this last year and we found something that works nicely - the Vita-Mix blender (no we don't sell them). The best investment we ever made. In the morning I blend 2 carrots, banana, apple, orange, milk and apple juice +/1 anything else (brown rice, cooked oatmeal, nuts, packet of instant breakfast - Safeway brand for me). It makes a great breakfast alone or with something else. The blender will send a banana to the moon and back. At night I select whatever vegetables we like (or don't like) - an assortment - steam or parboil them 5 minutes and throw them in the blender for a minute until smooth. Again, add brown rice, chicken stock - whatever you like: potatoes, broccoli, carrots, spinach.... We both enjoy the liquid meal - and I mean totally liquid. It is also quick. I've always hated making salads and besides Burdette can't eat them anymore. My goal this last 6 months is to tackle the nutrition end and increase our consumption of fruits and vegs. I ordered my blender from their web site. A normal blender doesn't quite cut it, but should do in a pinch. We don't do this every night, but probably 5 out of 7. We're happy. Hope this suggestion helps others. ~pat & burdette (P.S. there is an ice cream recipe too which I haven't tried yet). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
