kitchen cart

this isn't food, but it's terribly cute! as joe says, this cart cost us "the price of a burrito," so being a kitchen item and priced in food terms, the cart makes the blog.

butterfinger smoothie

in brooklyn, foodswings serves up a vegan butterfinger smoothie. this one is just as delicious and probably healthier because a banana and soy milk are subbed for the soy chocolate ice cream. it's also incredibly easy to make.


makes 2-3 servings

ingredients:
10 large ice cubes
1 cup plain or chocolate soy milk
3 T hershey's syrup, if using plain soy milk
1 med/large ripe banana
2 T natural peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
chick-o-sticks

start with just the ice in the blender (we've found this is the only way to ensure it all gets crushed up) and pulse it until all the ice is crushed. then add all the ingredients, saving some of the chick-o-sticks. blend it all until smooth then add more chick-o-sticks and blend briefly.

also delicious is the simpler smoothie of banana, chocolate soy milk and ice. yum!
