@FarAboveRubies

It really tastes good, if you make it come back with your review.

[ThePayola123]

Awesome!

So this is basically a Vegan Recipe?

[blenditandMendit]

@ThePayola123

Yes, this is vegan, and uncooked.

[mreinstein48]

Why do you freeze the avocado? Why not room temperature?

[blenditandMendit]

@mreinstein48

I freeze it for desserts and other frozen blends so that I can crystallize the water content and get a more "ice cream" texture (less runny) - it works!

[mreinstein48]

@blenditandMendit oh okay !!! thank you!!!!

[ashatut]

you are an amazingly creative person. Thanks. Just curious, as to how we can make soft serve at home from yogurt using Vitamix.

[blenditandMendit]

@ashatut

For frozen yogurt recipes, I would think you could add ice and fruit and blend, no?

[TriciaF1000]

i did not know you could freeze avocado...fantastic. I will try this...when i get in the mood for an icecream :)

[blenditandMendit]

@TriciaF1000

Definitely come back with your review when you try it - it's great to get opinions other than mine :)

[sprice676]

Got the calories count!

1/2 cup pistachios = 340

1/2 medium avocado = 138

1 medium banana = 105

4 medjool dates = 280

Total: 863 calories

I'm definitely going to make this, but I think I'll split it! Do you think it will keep ok in the freezer for a day or two?

[blenditandMendit]

@sprice676

Wow- that's a lot of goodness and yum :) Thank you for the info.

Yes, it will stay in the freezer, I have done that.

I have eaten this whole batch over the course of a day and it is so delicious and filling that I think every calorie is worth it. I have also split it with my daughter, probably a better idea:) A little goes a long way. At least they are 863 whole food, nutrient dense, water and fiber rich calories!

Enjoy it and come back with your review.

Many thanks,

Jane

[sprice676]

Yipes! Looks yummy, but how many calories?

[blenditandMendit]

@sprice676

Probably a lot :)

The recipe is included in the description area beneath the video so all you have to do is go to one of the calorie counting websites and you'll get a good idea.

If you do, please come back and post the total so we can all learn, too.

Many thanks, and yes, it's yummy :)

56?! You look much better than women in their 40s. :)

[blenditandMendit]

@tenshichanyo

Thanks! Important note: My videos are made with consumer grade equipment/camera with consumer grade lighting. If I was under a million watts like on TV, you would see my 56 years clearly and I'd be okay with that, too :)

Many thanks, Jane

[1easyflow]

I REALLY LIKE YOU!

Just found you the other day and I have to say that you come across as a super nice person. Your videos are very professionally done.I have had my vita-mix for over 5 years now and it is used daily. I thank you so much for sharing and being your beautiful authentic self.

[blenditandMendit]

@1easyflow

I appreciate it.

[paragshah2112]

anti-aging? how old are you jane?

[blenditandMendit]

@paragshah2112

56

[paragshah2112]

@blenditandMendit

cool. so, how do you mean anti-aging?

[blenditandMendit]

@paragshah2112

I mean anti-aging because waterful foods feed our cells, not just our stomach. They are loaded with anti-oxidants, they don't burden our system, clog our arteries, or squelch our energy. When I feel good, I feel young, like I can do anything. In my book, that's anti-aging :)

Wowee! Jane this is magnificent!!! My body loved it! My vision was ultra clear! Didn't realize avocado had so many benefits. Tried to stay away because of the fat content. But it was my lost! My hubby and I splint it and will do so daily! We love U Jane!

[blenditandMendit]

@Cravenn5

Wowee back at ya - that is high praise indeed and I appreciate it. I agree with your review of this dish, and my body loves it, too. Thank you for writing in so that others get an idea of it.

I tried this recipe this morning. Oh, it is so good! what is great about it is how super creamy it is. What I also like is how it freezes in the freezer, it is not icy at all. Also, a lot of vegan recipes use cashews and this is a nice change from that. Thank you Jane

[blenditandMendit]

@dfrisable

Thank you for the detailed review. It gives others valuable info on the recipe from someone besides me :)

Glad you made it, liked it and took the time to write.

Many thanks,

Jane

[blenditandMendit]
