FRUIT WIN: I have been enjoying all of the beautiful papayas I scored recently. They are so lovely and sweet when they turn golden in color and give to gentle pressure. I also scored some beautiful spotted bananas at my local salvage food store for $0.29/lb!! Make sure to ask your grocer what they do with their spotted bananas. Some grocers bag them and discount them, but others simply throw them out. You may be able to arrange to regularly pick them up at a certain time at the discounted price! :)
FRUIT CHALLENGE: I have been blending my fruit dressings in a food processor, but it is limiting in terms of creating a smooth creamy texture and I can't put tough-skinned fruit or ice in my food processor! I've heard that BlendTec blenders are the best.
I went to Amazon and even the used Blendtecs are close to $400!!! Yikes!!! Do you guys know of any other good blenders that work just as well for whipping up fruit and ice? I used to own a Vitamix blender and got it used on Ebay. It worked for blending softer fruits, but struggled when it came to blending ice and tough-skinned fruit. Let me know what you guys think!!
