We are all about convenience in our home, but I still want to make snacks and meals that are good for the ones that I love. When I used to think of making smoothies, the first thing that came to mind was “Mess!” Way back when, I had this smoothie machine that was such a pain. It had so many parts, the directions were horrible and … well… after just a couple of uses, there was a black cloud that poofed up over the machine. Ugh! Oh, and not to mention that it wasn’t too pretty to look at either. Well, not anymore! I use my Bosch MIXXO a lot and love it! It is cordless, gorgeous to look at and we have found more uses for the MIXXO than just making smoothies.
 
What I love about the MIXXO is that it features a duel-button child safety mechanism that prevents children from using the product and accidentally hurting themselves. The safety feature is a HUGE plus to me! It is not very often that you come across this feature on an appliance. Having small kids in the house, this is very much appreciated!

In addition, the MIXXO operates using a lithium ion battery, which means that you can use the MIXXO outside the home (like at a picnic or BBQ), or any other room in the house. We charged our MIXXO a couple of weeks ago and use it very often and the battery has lasted and keeps on going! What a great product to use for entertaining!

A lot of you that come here to Mommy Goggles, is that you have children that are going to school and you may be running out of ideas of what to make them for breakfast. How about a breakfast smoothie?

Back to School Bonanza:

 

The MIXXO is a great for making smoothies, cocktails, soups, baby food and so much more. In our home, we are big breakfast nuts and we love to use our MIXXO to blend our scrambled eggs and it is wonderful for mixing eggs, milk, a pinch of sugar and cinnamon to make your batter for making French Toast. Yummy! I am getting hungry just thinking about it!

I tried the following recipe on Tucker, and hubby and they both loved it! So easy and still healthy for them!

• 1/4 cup apple juice or berry nectar
• 1/4 almond milk (I used 2% milk)
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruit of your child’s choice
• 1/4 teaspoon honey (optional – taste your fruit first for sweetness)
• 3 ice cubes (only if using fresh fruit)

Here is a video of me making the above smoothie. I had already added some of the ingredients before hubby started videoing, but you can hear how quiet the MIXXO blends and how fast it make our smoothie!
