Funny story.
I am in a mad rush to leave my house (still am, actually). I put the ingredients for two smoothies together – one for me, one for Kristien – but then cannot find the top to the blender. “Oh, screw it,” I think. I grab a paper towel and cover the top. I turn the blender on, and once it starts going, I walk away. When I return, there is no paper towel. “Hmm,” I say. “Where did it go?” I look all over the counter and the floor, thinking it must’ve been blown off. And that’s when I realize… the blender ate the paper towel. This is not the first time this has happened. When will I learn?!
Needless to say, I made another smoothie.

Hungry, hungry blender! That’s so funny. Be careful, you silly chicky! Lol
HAHAHAHAHAHA omg I love that, you should have seen my face when you said the paper towel was missing!
You win some, you lose some. At least it makes for a good story!
hahaha oops!!! Those Vitamixers will blend anything
I love it sounds like a typical morning for me
)
Haha if you can’t find the lid use a plate instead usually upside down. That’s what I do
What?! How did it not create a mess?! …
A high fiber breakfast smoothie for sure.
Haha! I guess it’s better than the smoothie exploding all over your kitchen (which is where I thought the story was going)!
Yikes. But a little extra fiber never hurt anyone
Is that a Vitamix? I have been considering getting one for a while, but I am not sure if it is worth it.
So worth it!!!
Hahahaha. This is the most hilarious thing I’ve heard in a while. At least you were smart enough to realize the blender ate it
Bahahahhaa.
I SO would’ve done something similar, I am sure. Hope you enjoyed the new smoothie
Haha! That reminds me of a couple weeks ago, I measured about a tablespoon of peanut butter in my smoothie, and then proceeded to turn the vitamix on WITH the tablespoon measure still in it. It totally shredded the whole thing. Peanut butter banana smoothie with a touch of plastic? Yum…
Hah, would’ve liked to see the recipe write-up for that one:
Almond milk
Peanut butter
Banana
Paper towel
bahahahahaha!!! Yay fridays!
Hahaha! I just laughed out loud to that story. I have forgot to put the top on my blender SO many times and ended up spending 20 minutes cleaning….I need to put a little sticky note on my blender that says “PUT TOP ON!”
haha! I hear paper towels are full of fiber
Anyone else have Britney Spears’ song “Oops I did it again” stuck in their head now?
I would just eat it
eh…i’m sure the paper towel just adds some texture!
aw come on, that’s just extra fiber!
Oh I sooo have done that with a metal spoon!!! ekk! At least it didn’t go all over the kitchen!
A little extra fiber never hurt anyone.
We all do that, or some version of that, sometimes. Nooooo judgement here
That is NOT where I saw that story going. LOL
I usually use a salad plate. Little bit of weight to it. If your blender ate a plate, I’d be reconsidering it. I know Vitamixes are strong, but yikes if that happened!
What? You didn’t want the extra fiber?
lol. I can’t say I have ever walked away from a blender while using it, but that’s hilarious.
Ha, omg, I can’t even make a smoothie without forcefully holding down the lid and staring at it the ENTIRE time. Then again…I am not a sleep-deprived momma.
hehehe it happened to me too, but I was there WATCHING the thing eat up the paper … after that I use plastic wrap
convenient, no need to wash it, stays put 
I can never find the lid. Like the lid fairy runs off with them. I use a small plate cause it is in the cupboard just above the blender. No chance of plate falling in. Thanks the the daily laugh. Laughter is good for the soul.
Nothing like some added fiber:)
