That smoothie sounds delish..

So will you carry your blender around with you then?
I have been trying to decide whether to take my handblender (and big plastic smoothie container) with me to SE Asia....and think i will, life with a blender is so much easier! Handblenders have got to be one of the best inventions ever.
I bought a plug adaptor the other day so hopefully will work okay..

I think it was more than a day, Mr Cane Tripper!  Days after your return from Sydney, when you came by here, you were still laughing maniacally...King Cane Kabam!

On a more serious note...Somers, would you please elaborate on the hand blenders?  I am most interested...thanks!  If you don't see this thread I will ask you again in the Raw Chat forum...

Cool Jen, I will definitely take mine then

Miss Bliss - hand stick blenders are the ones that are like a stick that you hold onto and they have a spinning blade on the end. So you just dip it into your bowl/GS container, etc and press the button, stir it around, and it blends everything up. And the best bit is that to wash it you just give it a good rinse under the tap (or sponge with detergent if the mixture was sticky), so easy. I was stoked to discover them, makes whipping up smoothies and soups so much quicker and easier. Not sure if they blend stuff as finely and smoothly as the high-powered blenders though. I think the one i use cost around $50 from Myer, though you can probably get them from BigW, Target etc too. Let me know if you need any more info

haha Seems to be an essential travelling item then for raw foodies. We'd have to spend half our travelling time munching down salads otherwise Not being able to have GS would be hard!

Maybe you could stock handblenders in the Raw Pleasure store Sheryl?

Hey Gorgeous 'Giggling Gerty' I know your real name harr harr ha haaaaaaaahhhhh....  :D

Thank you so much!!!  By the essence of Love and Bliss, I am sure I would provide the best bench spaces and a place of pride in my travelling wagon or sailing vessel home, if only I had the essential factor of 240V!!  I had my own blinkers on...Jeesh....and thought "hand" blender was something that is FULLY POWERED BY HAND!!!  like a hand cranking wheatgrass juicer type thingy....

doh....me and my tendencies to think of self sustainability options...

Can any one help with this idea though...

a man walks into a bike shop and asks for a hand powered bicycle, the assistant says ' youve got legs , why not a pedal bicycle? he replied " well they are not as handy!'

i just made that up..and it sounds like it too.. will post here tommorrow of a bike powered blender i was using at the raw spirit festival in arizona a few weeks back.

we did bananas n soaked goji to make 'go he banana'.

ive had 12 bananas in a smoothie tonight, so maybe ive too gone bananas.
