Trying My New Small Cuisinart

21 days ago I said: I am thinking of purchasing another one, maybe a 3-cup capacity. For everyday use, a smaller one would be ideal, although I need this size for my parties.

I was referring to my full-size blender 👇. I bought this way back in 2013. It is pretty good, and I have used it for all my blending needs. But for small, daily needs, I got myself a Cuisinart Mini Prep Plus 3-cup Processor!

There are several ways to make a Berry Smoothie with Chia seeds. One way was shown HERE, and the other way is THIS.

In a glass (or in my case, a plastic blender/tumbler), put 2 tablespoons of Chia seeds in a little warm water. This allows a couple of minutes to 'activate' the Chia seeds. By the way, that is 5 grams of protein.

Hydrated chia slows digestion and the time it takes for your stomach to empty, which means you feel full longer. Soaking chia will activate the seed making it more bio-available to your body, helping to prevent blood sugar spikes, decreasing cholesterol and keeping you hydrated longer! Source

Then using the new 3-cup processor for the first time, I proceeded with making a smoothie with a cup of mixed berries and a banana. Mixed berries have 1 gram protein while a banana has 1.3 grams protein.

Instead of cottage cheese, I used my collagen peptides. It is good for the skin, hair, nails, and joints. Plus, it has 18 grams of protein per serving. I used 2 scoops of collagen peptides.

I then added milk, which is 8 grams of proteins.

This gadget is very light... almost bordering on the flimsy! Maybe I'm just so used to the heavy, full-size blender. It is easy to use with only two simple buttons: chop and grind.

I closed the lid and blended the ingredients together in seconds!

The smoothie came out just the way it should. You could not tell the difference.
This mini processor performed as good as a full-size blended.

To make sure all of the chia seeds were incorporated, I mixed the smoothie with a spoon.

Then I flopped in the wire whisk ball!

I am glad I bought this Cuisinart. Clean up was easy.

I would say that this was a great buy.

How many grams of protein did this smoothie have?

There are 33.3 grams of protein in that! For me though, I'd have to look at the carbs and the fat content as well. Nonetheless, 33.3 is a whopping amount! Tasty too, I imagine! Thanks for sharing sis! Much !LUV to you always!🤗💜🌹😘😍🤗 !LADY !HBIT !PIMP

Looks very yummy. I have always used a blender for smoothies but it seems like they often get too foamy by the time the berries I add are fully blended. I might try the Cuisinart.

I have a small 2 cup Kitchenaide processor that outlasted my larger Ninja processor. The Ninja appeared more robust until the carafe cracked along the bottom where the armature for the blades sit. That was disappointing, the carafe was supposed to be high impact plastic. I'm looking for a new one before summer comes around.

Always, with !LUV 🤗🌺❤️

This was inexpensive and it works as good as a blender. I chop my veggies using a knife and I didn't feel I needed a mini processor... until now. It works well as a blender!

I’m too lazy to try the math, but I’d say around 30 grams of protein. It looks real tasty.

Looks tasty, although in all honesty I have never had a smoothie.

Eat at least three fruits for breakfast, with Greek yogurt and wheat biscuit.

Have tried chia seeds, never really knew how to work with them, so thanks for the tip, give it another try one day I believe they are super healthy.

Ah, that will do! The reason why smoothie works for me is that I cannot eat all that fruit if it were not in a smoothie form!
Chia helps... and I don't get hungry too much!

You've got a durable blender. :) but yeah, having a big size to blend only a small portion is never fun, you need to clean the whole thing while the need is small one.

the small one's design looks fun, though. I hope that it last as long as the bigger one.
