Date: March 10, 2011 07:55AM Soup, made in my new blendtec.
3 tomatoes 1/4 of a decent sized onion 3 carrots a whole avocado(just the flesh, no skin or seed  )
a sweet wax pepper lil bit of fresh cilantro half a clove of garlic little sprinkle of salt free chili powder, and a tiny bit of Himalayan sea salt. Enough cold water to be just above the ingredients, then a little extra to thin it out a bit. and blended with the soup option, according to my thermometer it was 114 and I gave it to her in a mug, and she drank two whole cups (leaving one which I drank) thats probably the most nutrients she has gotten into her in a single day since ive moved here...just in those two cups... that right there was worth borrowing the money to buy the blender... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Re: Guess what my mom ate for dinner tonight???

Date: March 10, 2011 10:11AM Good suggestions rocketship  , good to hear you got it in the end.
I suppose like the vitamix it can heat soups up due to the friction? But obviously doesn't boil them. Being that im only high raw and possible like you say the temperature is below what is considered not raw anyway ive been making lots of great soups like you have. Watch the water if you use tomatoes as they tend to have alot of water and can ruin the soup if you add extra. Re: Guess what my mom ate for dinner tonight???

Date: March 10, 2011 10:30AM yeah, its why I went for low at first, then added extra at the end to thin it down a bit... I didnt put enough in initially, the avocado made it much thicker than I expected... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?

Date: March 10, 2011 11:10AM I also make vegan fritter type things with my vitamix, out of sweet potatoe, onion, and various other vegetables. You need to add a little flour i use any gluten free variety.
Sauces aswell can be very nutrient rich because your using all fresh ingredients, even the herbs alone that get added to various sauces such as cilantro/coriander, parsley etc are very rich in nutrients and phyto-chemicals. Re: Guess what my mom ate for dinner tonight???

Date: March 10, 2011 10:37PM ahhh, wow thats good to know, as I was just thinking about using sweet potato in my blendtec, although im planning on using cooked, but the rest of the ingredients raw... I ws wondering if something so thick would work well, but come to think of it... they do show a blendtec powdering an iphone, I think it will be fine with a sweet potato or two...lol --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?

Date: March 11, 2011 01:42PM I dont know what the blendtec is like but sometimes you have to use the taper stick thing with harder ingredients as theres no water to i dont know what the world is almost emulsify to make the blending easier.
Ive been playing around with alot of sauces and salad dressings since your thread on the other forum. Will have to list up some recipes. [www.amlaberry.co.uk] Re: Guess what my mom ate for dinner tonight???

Date: June 13, 2012 09:14PM What about a chocolate mousse - avocado, banana, soaked almonds, little bit of cacoa, some dates to sweeten - maybe a passionfruit or rasberries too. My son didn't even realise that I had hidden a bit of spinach in there too!!!!
So glad to hear your Mum is eating your soup Curator Re: Guess what my mom ate for dinner tonight???

Date: June 13, 2012 09:33PM Guys, this thread is really old. So old in fact that Curator's mom has since passed away and he has stopped visiting the forum.
Good info here still but it's so odd when such an ancient thread gets resurrected like this. Re: Guess what my mom ate for dinner tonight???
