One of my favorite challenges on Steemit is back and I am excited!
For some reason I've been pretty lazy all this week and hardly did anything at all, I wonder if it's because it is so hot or am I just turning into an old lady?!
Luckily the SCC is now on, that motivated me to get up and do something! Thank you @woman-onthe-wing for being so devoted to the contest and continuing to host it, our community would not be the same without it!
I've been thinking about what kinda smoothie to make and wanted to try something new, unfortunately, I never have the groceries I need to experiment so I had to use what was available again.
Maybe if I knew what kinda fruits or veggies @smooth is into, I would make just that, unfortunately I don't :(.
Okay, without further ado, let's get this smoothie game started, shall we?
Here is what we're going to need:
- flesh of 1 mango;
- a handful of blueberries;
- a frozen banana;
- 3 large strawberries;
- 2 ice cubes (optional).
Directions:
In a blender, process each ingredient separately, add a cube of ice to whatever you want to slightly water the mixture down. I put one into the mango chunks and I added another one to the banana, the banana mixture turned out to be pretty thick, so I thought a little ice would just do the trick!
Layer the fruit purees into a pint glass, decorate with whatever you please.
For some reason I usually skip sugar and ice in my smoothies, yogurt is rare too. The texture and taste of raw blended fruits for me is sweet enough, however if you need any additives, feel free to add anything you want to your drink, in my opinion any smoothie is like a blank canvas, so experiment!
Here is Foot Foot just laying around, trying to cool down, hey girl (^.^)
So I planned on taking way more pictures, but my photo session got interrupted shortly after it began . . . I spilt that smootie on the ground - what a misfortune!!! Oh well. There's nothing I could do about it, so I just cleaned the mess up, picked up the glass and decided to start working on my entry haha.
Ha ha I LOVE that final photo... really wraps the whole laziness theme up nicely! Oh wait, the theme isn't laziness, it's smoothies :-) Well @kotturinn, I have to say this is sooooo pretty! I adore the layed colours, sitting all beautifully upon a throne of green leaves... it looks amazing. I totally agree with you than adding sugar isn't necessary when using all those lovely fruits. And yes, experimentation... why make the same smoothie over and over when the world is your oyster! Hmmm.... oyster smoothie.... yuk. Anyway, thank you for your very beautiful entry, and I'm glad we got to see it before you decided to destroy it, glass and all!!! Gave me some good smiles too :-)

Oh my god hahaha an oyster smoothie would be so nasty! Ugh! Even thinking of it makes my tongue feel weird! Although I do enjoy me some shrimp cocktail every now and then ahha!
I don't know what happened, I think because I put the glass on the leaves it wasn't stable enough, because I slightly moved the crate with my leg trying to get to the other side of it and it just crashed, oh well. Just gotta buy more glassware again haha
Thank you :)

Fantastic and delicious Shake @kotturinn ..... nice for the hot summer..... why we should freeze the banana? will it change the taste if we add a fresh one.... Nice Post and best recipe @kotturinn ......

You can use a fresh banana it's still going to be just as good!
A while back I made a banana and mango sorbet and the recipe said to freeze the banana so I did the same for this smoothie, even though it tastes the same fresh and frozen, but when it's frozen its texture reminds me ice cream a little bit, but it's up to you! I recommend you try to freeze it, maybe you will like it!
I hope you like it! Thank you for the support!

Agreed! For smoothies though I just use a cup single serving thingy, it's easier to clean, you can just kind of just rinse it out haha
Not sure what you'd call this?

That's my tactic too! The all stars get a spot in the kitchen and the back up team lives downstairs, wishing for a chance to join the cool kids upstairs. :)
