This four-ingredient wonder is an
indulgent dessert and drink in one. Treat yourself!
Combine 2 bananas, 1 cup vanilla ice cream,
and 1 cup milk in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and top each
with a scoop of chocolate marble ice cream to serve.
Tip: switch
it up! Play around with different flavors of ice cream and different kinds of
milk to create exciting new blends. You can also try a combination of almond
milk with strawberry frozen yogurt for a healthier treat.

Great gadget
Coffee grinder
Caffeine junkies, take note! Your beloved
gadget has more uses in the kitchen than grinding beans for your daily cup of
joe.
Spice of life
Buy spices whole and grind them up to get
the freshest flavor possible. Explore different combinations for spice rubs and
marinades. Need to clean the grinder after processing spices! Pour in some salt
and grind for one minute. This cleans it up and gives you flavors salt to boot!
Your daily bread
Got stale bread lying around? Don’t throw
it away – simply slice into small cubes and pop them in the grinder to get
breadcrumbs.
Go nuts
Grind up nuts and seeds like almonds and
flax seeds. Add them to your morning cereal for a quick nutritional boost.
