Gummy Bear Smoothie

Brief instructions on creating a gummy bear fruit smoothie.

Special thanks go to Mitsi for her initial twittered idea for a Reese's cup omelet which spawned a series of Twitters that turned into this glorious piece of culinary masterwork.

Step 1 Getting started

To make this culinary delight, I used:
1 pound of gummy bears
1 banana
a quantity of frozen fruit (I eyeballed this part)
2 cups of whole milk
4 scoops of rainbow sherbet
a quantity of ice (also eyeballed) (not pictured)

I think all told this cost me about 15 dollars at Meijer. Most people probably have milk and fruit in their house. I didn't.

[sh3n3rd]

:) Did you try it?

[Chicken2209]

um, would it hurt your feelings if I said no?

[sh3n3rd]

YES!! j/k We were thinking for the next project.....hot tamale muffins with a melted pixie stick glaze :) Or lemonhead cupcakes.

[mikstr2]

I love hot tamales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chicken2209]

Oh, well in that case I did try them They were so awesome! I made 8 batches I sold em for a nickel each And I ended world hunger no, I didn't make it ... yet

[fauge7]

[bober999]

omg its way to sugary *barf*

[Mike-Buh]

I love this! My kids will be equal parts horrified and hungry! One thing I will try is Freezing the gummis and putting them in the blender, so hopefully they will be chopped up.

you rock

[robotkid249]

This is gross.

I can't stop laughing about this. It's a bit crazy to put some gummi bears in a cooking vessel and melt them together and then put them in the blender together with some fruit. LOL!

[mynameischeese]

how do you think gummy bears feel about being made into a smoothie??

lol

I suspect that something like a BlendTec or other commercial grade blender would make quick work of the gummi bears. Otherwise you might just end up with shredded gummies.

[cx420ns]

have you seen the blendtec videos on youtube? that monster can blend just about anything =D

[Jupitane]

I love SSSUUUGGGAAARRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManicJack]

woah who gave Jupitane sugar?

[neuralstatic]

will it actually work to blenderize the gummies without melting? maybe some kind of food processor would do that, but a blender wouldn't really fragment them well?

[ptg76]

i bet mine can

[unbentcrayfish]

sounds great thanks

[canida]

Mmmm. But I fear melting the gummi bears destroys some of the fun of using them as a base! Half the fun would come from finding the occasional dismembered bear arm or head in my smoothie.

[Derin]

And,as he said,the molten gummi bears may "clog" the blades.

[sh3n3rd]

Hmm...I think you're right. Dismembered gummi bears would be a bonus.
