The Vitamix, for those not in the club of devotees, is a high powered blender. I will explain why this blog is called "V is for Vitamix" in another post. It has something to do with the book "H is for Hawk", and a bizarre lunch time conversation with my friend and muse Helen Baker at my former workplace Jncc.
I will be publishing recipes every now and then. Today's tropical gloop was inspired by a trip to B & M. This discount store has some amazing bargains. The tinned coconut was 50p (it's double that in other stores) and the man from Del Monte said "yes!" to my 75p in exchange for his pineapple rings in juice.
Tin of pineapple rings and juice
Tin of coconut
2 kiwis skinned. (Not over ripe)
Small knob of ginger (peeled or unpeeled it matters not much)
Tahini - heaped desert spoon
Cashews half a cup. (More if you want it richer, and are rich enough to be this extravagant )
Jam - desert spoon heaped. I used sues homemade bramble jam
Sweetener. I used canderel.
Ice if to be eaten straight away.
Juice of half a lemon (optional)
Quantities can be reduced for the smaller and weedier Nutribullet
Texture wise, it comes out gloopy, like a vegan equivalent of yoghurt.
The taste? It's weird, because it tastes like lime. I think it's the pineapple and kiwi having a strange alchemy.
