How To Make A Smoothie Treat
To make this, you just throw all of the ingredients in a blender together until you reach the desired consistency. If you have more of a taste for chocolate, there is a delicious and easy chocolate banana recipe to make as well. The best recipes are the ones that only require one step, and just like the orange recipe, this one is that simple.
Now, sometimes you may not be dealing with a sweet craving, as much as trying to find a yummy way to entertain adults. For adult parties or events you can make delicious alcoholic drinks for your guests. So, again you will simply add all of the ingredients together and blend. These treats are perfect for daytime or evening, and can be served all year round. But the smoothie has actually become more popular lately as a breakfast or energy drink to start your day with, or even to supplement a meal.
Once you follow any of these simple recipes, you will know how to make a smoothie that fits your diet and nutritional needs. You have the option of having these as sweet treats, or you can substitute some of the ingredients with non fat substitutes to make them a little healthier. You can also add protein or any other vitamins or supplements that you need throughout the day. This is a good way to reward yourself in a healthy, or purely indulgent way.
The Failor book is a fantastic resource and I highly recommend it. The book’s drawbacks are the way the information is organized and the lack of detail presented with the recipes. For even more recipes and a lot of great resource information, get the Failor book. You can also create your own recipes using a liquid soap calculator. Each of these recipes, the way I made them, yielded about 6 quart jars of liquid soap.
Each quart jar of liquid soap weighs approximately 2 pounds, so that’s 12 pounds of soap! I didn’t superfat any of these recipes, but you can. Remember also that if you want to dilute at a different rate, you could dilute all of these recipes at 30 or even 35 percent if you don’t mind emulsifying with a borax solution to the fullest recommended emulsification allowance.
Homemade liquid soap is typically thinner than store-bought liquid soap. How you make your recipes is all about what you want-do it your way. How much did these soaps cost to make, I don’t know. I don’t like math and I didn’t figure it out. If you want the cheapest liquid soap possible, you can buy store-bought liquid hand soaps and shampoos for a dollar a bottle.
You may not be able to make homemade liquid soap for that-but then, you might not want to know what’s in your cheap store-bought liquid soap. If you want to make homemade liquid soap for frugality purposes, find the best deals on lye and coconut oil. Use the cheapest soft oils you can find.
Use borax to emulsify and thicken (borax is cheap) and don’t use any essential oils. Notes: This recipe yields an initially slightly cloudy soap due to the jojoba. You’ll need to use sequestering agents to clear it up, and it will require sequestering time to clear and thicken. It also takes a very long cook time-but it’s worth it! Notes: This one also resulted in an initially slightly cloudy soap due to the lanolin, but not as cloudy as with the jojoba in the previous recipe. You can clear it up with sequestering agents.
Even at 20 percent, it wasn’t completely diluted. Rather than dilute further, I added a reduced measure (1 tablespoon per diluted soap weight) of the 33 percent borax solution. If you prefer to not do that, you may have to dilute to 15 percent and increase the thickener. Since I emulsified slightly with the borax solution, added neutralization wasn’t necessary.
