Who puts balsamic vinegar in a smoothie? Me. And it's good. I'm not talking about the thin, sour, take-your-breath away balsamic vinegar. It has to be the aged, thick, sweet stuff.
Up until a couple months ago, I had never known the difference. My mom was given a bottle of it, and she didn't have any use for it or didn't know what to do with it, so she gave it to me. The bottle says it has been aged for 25 years - almost as old as me. Out of curiosity, I opened it, and poured some onto a spoon. Sip. Wide eyes. Wow. Good. So, I immediately got online and did some researching as to how much this was going to cost when it needed replacing, and how sparingly did I need to use it. Thankfully, it's affordable.
I originally posted this photo on Instagram. Several people liked it, so I thought you would enjoy the recipe.
You'll need:
1 cup frozen, whole or sliced strawberries
3/4 cup ice cold water
1 cup frozen, whole or sliced strawberries
3/4 cup ice cold water
1 TB good quality, thick balsamic vinegar
1 TB honey
Blend it all together for about 15-20 seconds. Pour into a glass and serve. It makes enough for one smoothie. And, I would not use fresh strawberries, unless they have been frozen first. You are not adding any ice here, and the frozen strawberries are what gives it the icy texture it needs.
