Magic Goodness!!!!

As part of my birthday gift getting and the plan to "Help Get Bonnie Fit", my sister, Barb, gave me a Magic Bullet and some whey protein powder.... ...and her rhubarb smoothie recipe.
Magic Bullet promoters claim that you can whip up a tasty smoothie in 5 seconds.
Well, I don't know about that 5 second claim, but they got the tasty part right. I have to admit, I was sceptical about the rhubarb at first, but it was a delicious surprise. About a cup of frozen chopped rhubarb, 1/3 cup of O.J., 1/2 cup of plain yogurt, 2/3 scoop of protein powder and several seconds in the Magic Bullet makes a mighty tasty treat. And it's healthy! Rhubarb is a great source of dietary fiber. It's loaded with vitamins and minerals. It has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxident and anti-allergy properties. It can alleviate indigestion and lower blood pressure. And it's FREE thanks to the abundant supply in my own backyard. Mine came from Barb who got her plants from our brother, Ted. You might call it a family heirloom.
Feel free to share your favorite smootie recipes with me, I'll try them out in my new Magic Bullet. "So, is the Bullet really magic?" you ask. You bet it is!
