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 馃憞. 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?
