Will it blend?

I was thinking the other day was a racket Jugo Juice is - especially when one has to wait in line for around fifteen minutes most of the time for a $4-6 non-dairy smoothie. Being new to the whole smoothie making thing, I looked up a recipe on Canadian Living and gave it a whirl (haha!). The result was OK, but overwhelmingly dairy and not fruity or sweet enough. Maybe these things are best left to professionals! Since I have a slight allergy to bananas, I used peaches and raspberries instead. It also made about four cups of smoothie, and fortunately my husband LOVED IT and finished off the rest in five minutes.

So I tried again with fresh mango, frozen peaches, half a can of peaches in light syrup and some raspberries. The result was much more favourable, and if I had used ice, I'm sure it would have been along the same lines as Jugo Juice. I forsee much more blending in the future :-D
