Classic Thick Shaker Maker from back in the Day
As a freshmen at Herkimer County Community College I went food exploring down town early on while other teammates searched for happy hours at town watering holes. The deal with me was I never liked carbonated drinks so I stayed clear of beer or soda. When I did drink soda, I shake up until it was flat, crazy but true. I quickly discovered that the same eatery that made great wedges also made a terrific vanilla thick shake and that's where I had my happy hour. We call them smoothies today but it was the same concept back then. They made the shake so thick and rich, with more vanilla ice cream than milk, that the straw would stand at attention in the 20 once cup it came in. My lips would get tired from drawing out the cold sweet vanilla bean flavored beverage. But I never stopped piercing my lips from around that straw until the last bit when down the back my throat. The taste of the shake merited the strenuous effort and it’s something that stays with me today put in a healthier form. Today I make smoothies for me and family vanilla soy milk and frozen fruit. Every brand of soy milk taste different so try several and stick with vanilla flavor soy milk, plane honestly tastes like chalk to me. The right one in the end is a healthy choice however. Instead of ice cream I use fresh frozen fruit and about a quarter cup of vanilla soy yogurt. My kids love strawberry smoothies which I mix with a little frozen banana, vanilla protein powder, and honey as a sweetener. I make the smoothies straw standing still thick just like back in Herk. I have burned out the motor in several blenders over the years. So I asked my wife to get me one of those high powdered professional blenders. They are like 300 bucks put they tell me they are well worth the investment and most come with a lifetime warranty. You know the ones. You seem them doing demos at Costco with them from time to time; they look like they have monster truck engine under the hood. Yes, that’s the bad boy I want for my birthday one day!
