My two adore homemade smoothies and I love them having them because I know what has gone into them, because I have made them myself. However, I do still buy ready made ones from the supermarket when they are on special promotion because they are handy to have for emergencies, ie, when I am low on fruit, or to grab when we are going out somewhere.
The thing I love about the bought smoothies is the packaging that they come in with the screw top lids – this is brilliant for children who do not, or cannot, drink all of their smoothie in one sitting because it can be put back in a bag and taken on somewhere else. These packs are similar to the ones that ready made baby and toddler food and desserts can be served in also. Well, how cool would it be to be able to make homemade smoothies or purees and serve them in these reusable pouches with the screw top lids??? Very cool, I think!
Let me introduce you to the Smooth Packs Station – a gadget to allow you to make drinks, desserts and savoury purees for your children. The station comes with everything you require in its box and the idea is that apart form a hand blender required to make your fruit/veggies smooth, you do not require anything else to make the smoothies with!
It is very simple to set up and use – you put the plugs on the ends at the bottom of the smoothie packs station, add your smoothie or puree ingredients
Blend inside with your hand held blender
Attach your smooth pack to one of the 4 plug points in place of the red plugs
Push down the plunger
and watch your pack/packs fill up very quickly!
Ready to go filled pouches!
Ready to be enjoyed…again
and again!
The entire smooth packs station can be cleaned in the dishwasher making them perfect additions to your household, and better than buying filled pouches as these can be used again and again
The Smooth Packs Station is a great little piece of kit and remember if you don’t have a hand held blender, you could make your filling in your processor and then pour it into your station ready to fill up your pouches.
It retails at £19.95 which I think is excellent value for money and would be fab for those of you who enjoy gadgets in their kitchen.
