OK folks you asked for it and finally it is here.

My world famous blender ideas!
(more commonly known as Chrome Teeth Cuisine)
(less commonly known as dizzy food)
(even less commonly called tornado food)

The first rule about blender food is THERE AIN'T NO RULES! I tried almost anything.

First stock up on a few items. Get to a health food store (or a super grocery or big drug store) and get a high protein powder mix, It is like flour and has almost no taste so it can be added to anything. A lot of whole milk, at least a half gallon of vanilla ice cream (the better brands have more real dairy and thats what you want). A bunch of bananas, Large selection of yogurt, wheat germ, regular oatmeal (quaker), any other grains you like, your favorite vegetable oil (olive if you like it or some of the other good for you kinds), eggs (cooked), any other fruit you like that are soft ( strawberries, blueberries, peaches, prunes, not apples but apple sauce, Then stock up on ice cubes.

A typical recipe might go like this: 1 banana, one tub of yogurt, 1/2 cup of fruit (washed and no pits) 1/2 cup of ice cream, 1 to 3 table spoons of protein powder, 1 to 3 table spoons of wheat germ, add enough milk to get it to blend, (it is better to get the fruit and liquid blended then slowly add the dry stuff.) The oatmeal can also go in dry right out of the box. Add more milk or ice cream till you like the consistency. A table spoon or two of oil gets you a little more fat (you need it) and will blend right in. Ice cubes can be added for more cold and wet. Put in the crushed multi vitamin (just one or two a day). The ideas is to play with the various items and see what you come up with that you like. remember the colder the less it hurts. Also the mix will tend to thicken in the mug as the oatmeal swells up.

At first this may not sound that good but I found I could get hundreds of calories and lots of protein in a mug that might take only a few minutes to drink. And I still make some of these even now 'cause I like them.

A few other pointers, don't forget the fiber (wheat germ, fruit and oatmeal) the amount of dairy might tend to stop you up a bit, If you get on any pain meds they will cause serious constipation! avoid them if you can or get on metamucil or something. The yogurt is good for yeast problems (besides being an excellent food), you can throw in nuts (peanuts, sunflower, walnuts, cashews,) and they will add a different flavor/texture (leave them in long enough to get chopped up) along with very good food value.

Once you get the basic idea then you can take a walk on the wild side; I took an entire Whopper with cheese from Burger King cut it up a bit, added milk and had that hamburger! It was not quite the same but suprising good and I needed to taste something regular. I also regularly blenderized scrambled eggs with milk and drank them. I tried an entire Ceasar salad also (with mixed results )

Soups and stews can be made to go right down with out having to chew. There are some excellent soup stocks that you can buy that make a great flavor change, don't be afraid of aromatic spices they can help with the taste problems (AVOID HOT SPICES).

sometimes I would blenderize what ever the wife was making for supper that way it wasn't such a big job. Use your imagination and remember to keep eating even if your not hungry.

I hope this helps some and I dare you to top the Whopper meal...
