Here are some favorite drink recipies from Mila and Tal. Do you guys have a favorite drink?
Tallis’s Famous Chocolate Banana Smoothie
When bananas are on sale, buy a whole bunch. Literally. Peel them and break them in half. Put 2 or 3 pieces into a sandwich bag. Stick all of the sandwich bags into a larger bag or container and freeze them. Opa has a particular way of twisting the bag and securing it with a twist-tie, but you can just fold it over. With frozen bananas on hand you’ll always be ready to make this delicious beverage . . .
To make the drink:
Pour one cup of milk into a blender. Add one package of frozen bananas and one scoop of chocolate drink mix (like Ovaltine). Blend until frothy. Enjoy!
Milena’s Marvelous Mexican Hot Chocolate . . . mmmmmmm!
Buy a package of Mexican Hot chocolate. Abuelita’s is the brand at Wal-Mart. Make sure you buy the “cake” style, not the powder.
For every 1 cup mug of hot chocolate you will need two “triangles” of chocolate. Be careful chopping them! Put the chocolate triangles in the blender. Heat up 1 cup of milk in the microwave for every 2 triangles. Blend the hot milk and the chocolate on high until frothy. ¡Delicioso!
