2 tbsp. sugar
Lemon slices for garnish

In a covered blender container at a low speed, blend sour cream, blueberries and sugar until smooth. Serve soup garnished with lemon slices. 2 servings, 1 3/4 cups.

I’ve also bought other fruit and juices to mix with the yogurt, but haven’t tried them yet. Be creative…I’m sure you can make all kinds of yummy, healthy frozen smoothies.

Good luck!!

Addition:

I also make "shakes" in my blender. I put a couple of squirts of coffee syrup, about 4 scoops of coffee ice cream, a couple of squirts of coffee creamer (I like French Vanilla) and some milk. Blend it up and enjoy!!!

My family likes other frozen drinks too. I take kool-aid or lemonade and mix it with ice. It makes it like a slushy. Yum!!!

Title: Green Pea Soup
Prep/Cook time: 20-25 mins

6 shallots
50g butter
6 cups chicken stock (I find vegetable works better, and is a good option for vegetarian)
500g shelled peas
1 small cos lettuce
200g snow pea shoots

Chop the shallots finely and saute in the butter. Season with salt and pepper (sometimes I find it’s nice to add other spices that you may have in your pantry, whatever works best!). Add the stock and bring to a simmer.
Add the peas and cook until just tender.
Shred the lettuce - it doesn’t have to be perfect, and trim the snow pea shoots of their stalks (sometimes I don’t do that, it gives the soup a little more body). Add them to the soup and cook for about five minutes.
Once the soup is cooked, blitz it in your blender or food processor.
If you think it needs it, season with a little more salt and pepper.
Serve hot.
