Works For Me Wednesday - Cleaning the Blender

This post was originally posted on October 8, 2008



I like to use my blender in the morning to make smoothies (my normal breakfast).


Strawberry Banana Smoothie
SERVES 2 -3

1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 banana
8-10 ice cubes
Put all ingredients in blender.
Blend until smooth.

I sometimes add in yogurt, egg white, and use honey or sweetener.

But then I'm stuck with trying to figure out how to clean the bottom contraption doohickey. LOL! Well, a couple years ago while at my mother's house, she showed me a little trick that she does.

She rinses it out really well. She then puts a little soap in the bottom of it,



then about a cup of water,



and turns on the blender to low and lets it take a whirl for about 30 seconds. It suds up.


Then rinse it out really well




and turn over to dry. Now I do stick the other parts in the dishwasher after a few times.

Check out more great ideas for cleaning at the themed Works For Me Wednesday!
