different types of milk/ drink

[Gillthepainter Profile Website]

Our carton of milk tends to be a pound, Jeral.
Any more, I get a bit twitchy.

[jeral Profile]

Yes, winter fuel bills put a huge damper on spending unnecessarily. Roll on summer

Was someone asking about hemp seeds? If so, just spotted these by Braham & Murray on Sainsbury's website:
https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/gr ... earts-225g

The cost is, er, interesting, being "Only £300; Save £100". Not bad for half a pound...

[Stokey Sue Profile]

I read that as £3 and £1 (3.00 and 1.00)

Unit price is £1.34 per 100g

Used to use them as bait for fishing - the plants grew all along the canal

[Gillthepainter Profile Website]

It was me.
As I considered buying some and making up my own Hemp drink/milk. My smoothie blender is so powerful.

It might very well taste like fishfood, Sue.

[jeral Profile]

O-oh, something fishy about my post then. It must be a first for me actually wanting to see dots before my eyes, lol, so ta for correcting Stokey Sue.

What blender do you have Gillthepainter? Coincidentally, I've been looking at some "Nutri" ones at £100 that seemingly cope best with nuts and seeds. I suppose you just have to say "It's only £2 per week" and be happy - as long as it performs as expected.

By the way, I mentioned that some items were EU "authorised exceptions" in labelling so could be called milk or cream even if not. I've found the list (at last) if anyone's interested:

Quote:
EN (being ones specifically English/UK)

• Coconut milk
• ‘Cream …’ or ‘Milk …
used in the description of a spirituous beverage not containing milk or other milk products or milk or milk product imitations (for example, cream sherry, milk sherry)
• Cream soda
• Cream filled biscuits (for example, custard cream, bourbon cream, raspberry cream biscuits, strawberry cream, etc.)
• Cream filled sweets or chocolates (for example, peppermint cream, raspberry cream, crème egg)
• Cream crackers
• Salad cream
• Creamed coconut and other similar fruit, nut and vegetable products where the term ‘creamed’ describes the characteristic texture of the product
• Cream of tartar
• Cream or creamed soups (for example, cream of tomato soup, cream of celery, cream of chicken, etc.)
• Horseradish cream
• Ice-cream
• Jelly cream
• Table cream
• Cocoa butter
• Shea butter
• Nut butters (for example, peanut butter)
• Butter beans
• Butter puffs
• Fruit cheese (for example, lemon cheese, Damson cheese)

Jeral, I don't have a nutribullet, but I've seen it cope with solids and ice cubes, no trouble.

For 16 quid ea, I've got 2 smoothie makers, 1 for studio, 1 for home, that power through LIQUID, and grains or oats.
2 presses, bzzzz, bzzzzz. 500ml puree.
I regularly puree fruit milk, or fruit yoghurt, which I then pour over my oats and seeds for breakfast.

I also have a compact Bosch processor. As it's compact, it takes up the room of a kettle.
The juicer is particularly fantastic.
The liquidizer is standard. And works well for hot and cold blending.

Not as smooth as the little smoothie maker tho.

If you start a thread, people will probably give you advice about more options, Jeral.
I'll take a video for you of the Wahl smoothie maker .......

[jeral Profile]

Thanks very much Gillthepainter. I've ordered a Wahl immediately as no reason not to at that price. I have a big processor, small twin-blade grinder and a hand blender that can do the heavy work (e.g. nuts) if the Wahl doesn't like them, although it says it does ice so that's a bonus, as is its small footprint.

Yay happy bunny.

[Gillthepainter Profile Website]

Brilliant.
I did a video for you, but cannot find it on Windose File Explorer. It's something obvious. I can see all my image files, but no vid files.

I'll try and figure it out - I'm guessing I need to use a proper transfer cable to get it off the camera.

[jeral Profile]

I'd love to see the video Gillthepainter but hate putting you to the trouble since hopefully you won't mind questions if any once mine arrives in a day or three.

My biggest fear TBH is that the impatient one here will burn the motor out instantly by not doing short 1-minute burst, wait, repeat, which all high-speed mixers and even work tools demand. We shall see, whether I can train him that is

[Gillthepainter Profile Website]

We're UP!
Found them in the advhsomethingorother folder.

First is the blitzing:



Second is the pouring result:



If they don't play:

Gillthepainter, many thanks both for the taking and posting of the vids

I'm amazed at the speed!
I'm looking forward to minimal washing up too

Re lost files, I feel your pain as I could find things easily on Windows 7 and find it a nightmare since changing to Windows 10. It definitely takes longer to find them than the smoothie maker takes to smoothify.

[Gillthepainter Profile Website]

in the video, I pulsed 4 times, but didn't need to.
I'm pleased it's so clear, as one handed kitchen work is tricky.

As per, I don't know what on earth I do with the 4 x little storage jars it comes with. I have 8.
But can only find 2 in my cupboards this morning.

I'm sure you know but just to emphasise, it's a liquid/ fruit seed and nut device.
So doesn't do dry or solids.

Having broken both wrists, I'm fairly adept at doing things one-handed although how you did your vids without camera shake is beyond me.

I have the small twin-blade chopper processor and big processor I mentioned for dry stuff, so no worries. The Wahl arrived today, as yet unopened but am intending to christen it very late tonight with unchallenging tinned toms (watered down) and hopefully unchallenging celery slices for a Bloody Mary for breakfast, after a late night you understand

[Gillthepainter Profile Website]

I take it you've got very weak wrists, now.
Like my friend, but hers are from hoiking large pots for years in her pub kitchen.

By the way, do not if you can put the smoothie bottles in the dishwasher.
One of mine developed a crack when I took it to the gym. I put it down to the dishwasher, and clean the remaining ones I have in warm soapy water.

My smoothie contents today, in the fridge chillaxin'
banana, oats, peanut butter powder, seeds, and hemp milk:

[Lusciouslush Profile]

Pea milk anyone?

https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/he ... 47951.html

[Gillthepainter Profile Website]

I actually looked for this pea milk today, Lush. But it's not in our shop yet.
I've come away with a peanut milk to try.

As your article says tho, stick to coooo's milk if you don't need to avoid it.
But I do like these alternatives. A lot.

[karadekoolaid Profile]

Pea milk anyone?

That sounds sort of suspect, despite the spelling.

[Gillthepainter Profile Website]

Indeed, a new name might be required.

[Sakkarin Profile]

"Lait de pois"

Very posh.
