Whisked together by hand (no silly electric contraptions for him), poured back into the glass with flare (i.e. by lifting up the bowl so that the liquid poured from way up high, creating lots of bubbles), and topped with nutmeg.<br /><br />Lots of people would cringe at the raw egg, but I never had a problem, and it still remains a favourite of mine.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623449120123343570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841645566318950865.post-57412066948912237032010-10-24T17:27:49.700-04:002010-10-24T17:27:49.700-04:00I love smoothies!!

I also use frozen bananas (I cut them up before I freeze them, make it easier). If you haven't tried using frozen bananas, try it, it makes the smoothie super thick.

It wasn't my gums or my mouth, it was my *teeth* that hurt. I still don't understand it, but I winced just thinking about it. I was all about jello, creamy soup and yoghurt. Things I could swallow without moving my mouth. My sympathies to your daughter!Amie Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116472165351759477noreply@blogger.com
