Grandma's Pump

I’m not sure I’d attempt this recipe with an ordinary blender. Things like pineapple fibers and raspberry seeds used to overwhelm my old one. It was a classic Oster beehive model; looked great on the counter but just couldn’t cut the mustard. These days I use a Blendtec “Wild Side” blender, which so far has handled everything I’ve thrown at it.

Bear Lake Raspberry Shake

1/2 cup milk (whole, skim, or 2%)

1/2 cup unsweetened raspberries, fresh or frozen

1 tablespoon raw honey

2 cups vanilla ice cream, ice milk, frozen custard or frozen yogurt

Assemble all ingredients in blender jar in the order listed; secure lid. Blend at medium-low speed for thirty to forty seconds or until smooth. Serve immediately. For an authentic La Beau’s of Bear Lake experience, use whole milk and frozen custard. But frozen yogurt and skim milk are still quite yummy, and you can pretend you’re eating healthy.
