That sounds good. I'm not suppose to have bananas but I'm guessing 1/2 cup sliced really isn't that much. They also say I'm not suppose to have more than a 1/4 cup of milk/dairy a day but I have to admit I fudge on that quite often.

Thanks

Hey Kim...

Substitute more ice water for the milk and cut the banana to 1/4 cup. Just a couple slices of frozen banana will thicken it up a bit.

Or take out the banana altogether and cut the milk to 1/4 cup so you're within your daily quota.

If you're into it, an egg white may work in place of the milk/banana, but you're on your own with raw egg whites...Let me know.

Thanks

Kurt, just curious why frozen bananas.

In the summer I tend to eat more veggies and fruits then meats.
Not really sure why, I tend to listen to my body and give it what it wants.
In the summer thet seems to be fresh fruits and veggies.

Thanks

The main reason is I like them.

And frozen banana slices are cold (instead of using ice cubes) and I want it to be as cold as possible, without being too thin as they act as a great thickener, almost like ice cream.

I also find bananas have only a day or two when they are "perfectly ripe" and this is when I freeze them.

Thom, I'm with you.When its hot I eat a lot more salad food and as many fruits as I can sneak in my diet. Unfortunzately,the dieticians and drs seems to needs as much help deciding whats good and bad as I do. Last year cantelope was a no-no, now they say its good for me again.
Kurt,the thing that makes bananas so good for others is what makes it bad for me.The potassium,but I have snuck in a banana split a few times in the past couple of years and lived,so I think I can try it they way you posted first and then try variations.

Thanks

.

I found that fruits and veggies are much easier for me to digest in hot weather. They also do a great job of keeping you hydrated and supplying nutrients and minerals and such that you burn through faster in the heat.
I'd say I also eat a lot of oatmeal, but I do that year round.
Real oatmeal, not the instant kind has an amazing amount of benefits.

I grew up on instant oat meal. Well by instant I mean my mother got up early and had it all cooked in the pressure cooker before I got up

The coffee maker got its heat from either a burner on the stove or a hot plate.
I still don't have or like a microwave. Every now and then I end up with one, but to me they are totally useless.
I still have my mothers pressure cooker. I just couldn't seem to find the weights for the top and the cooker at the same time. Now that I live alone I don't have much use for it

Thanks

My grandma and aunt used to use a pressure cooker. They were country folks and I'd spend every summer with my grandparents . My uncle and my aunt lived in a house they built on land about a 1/4 mile from my grandparents farm.
My brother and I would pick assorted vegetables rom the fields and then grandma would can the. Corn,snap beans,peas,and tomatoes are what I remember the most as far as vegetables went.
We also picked plums,blackberries and raspberries and they would can them and also make jelly out of them. What I would give for some of my grandma's plum jelly.
Sorry for the hijack Kurt.
PS: Thom, my parents house had a stove,we were city dwellers,but when at my grandparents the cooking and coffee making (done in a perculator coffee pot) was done on a wood-burning stove.

Thanks

Hey Jim.

I have the same problem, so I bought a juicer and love it. My main ingredient is cantaloupe and whatever fruits and veggies are on sale. It's pretty easy to get your 5+ daily servings of fruit and veggies using a juicer.

Thanks

That's a good point,

while I 'have your attention', which one do recommend?

Last time I was at wallymart they were so bad I didn't buy one.

I would like to buy a good one.

I bought the Jack Lalanne 4-5 years ago and it's still going strong.

However, I just read the reviews on Amazon and it seems like the newer ones have a lot of issues, so I'm not sure whether to recommend it or not.

Just make sure you get one with a wide mouth, as it saves a lot on cutting.

BTW, I don't really like carrots, but love fresh carrot juice (blended with cantaloupe).
