I wasted no time running and getting ingredients to make a Fruity protein smoothie for the kids! I was really impressed with the power it had mixing all the ingredients I put in it. I wanted to try both the glass pitcher and the thermal jug so I did half the recipe in one and and half in the other. Since the kids were in school, I wanted to see how cold it would really keep the smoothies, it says up to 8 hours! So I made these at 10am and they would be home by 4pm. Great! After I mixed in the thermal cooler, I stored it on the counter until later. A couple of minutes later I heard crackling sounds in the cooler! The coldness of the smoothies was activating the thermal part! How neat! Sure enough when we got home at 4pm, it was still cold and ready to drink! Stay tuned for my post of my Fruity protein smoothie recipe.
