Beet Apple Carrot juice

Notes

*I suggest preparing this juice intended for one time and not storing it which otherwise could create stomach discomfort.

*Portion the beets, carrots and apple to fit easily into your juicer not to overstuff, otherwise the juicer blade and motor could get damaged.

*Using ice cubes tends to heat the juice less to maintain the freshness.

*You can include the stem and greens of beetroot to boost the nutritional content.

Banana Cream Shake

It’s been a while since my last post, but now I’m back. Well, I have been learning to bake and the best way I learn – Bake it yourself! Cooking is fun but sometimes it’s like a laboratory measuring, testing etc. That requires a lot of patience!

So, yesterday I thought of making a refreshing drink. The best part is it requires very little effort and time. All it takes is a few ingredients, blend it together and top with a dollop of homemade whipped cream. While the Greek yogurt adds protein, its creamy and tasty. This is my first topping on a drink and it got me instantly excited. It tasted great! Not too sweet which I always enjoy.

TGIF everyone!

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Serves: 2

Appliance needed: Electric Blender, Hand mixer

Ingredients

Banana – 2 medium

Greek yogurt – 3/4 cup, (I used farmers union Greek yogurt)

Cold milk – 1 cup

Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp

Ice cubes as required

 

 

For the whipped cream

Whipping cream – 1/2 cup (keep this in the fridge until you’re ready to use)

Powder Sugar – 1 tbsp (Icing sugar will do)

Whipping cream to make whipped cream topping on banana shake

Directions

1. In a blender, mix banana, yogurt, milk, vanilla essence, ice. Blend until smooth.

2. Remove the whipping cream from the refrigerator. Using a hand mixer whip the cream in a bowl (you can also use your hand to whip: use very very cold cream with a nice whisk).

3. Begin whipping initially on low speed at 1 and gradually increase to higher speed. In 2 – 3 minutes time it will form soft peaks.

*I prefer less sweet. You can add more sugar if required.

*You can combine ice cream for more creamy flavor and use almond milk instead of plain milk.

Passion Fruit is a tropical fruit, and one of the many variety of fruits here in South East Asia which I didn’t know existed. I would try to imagine what this odd fruit tastes like and how would one use it. It’s enclosed with flesh-covered seeds which is edible. They can vary in color but, the passion fruit which I bought was slightly green-skinned . In few days time the color changed to pinkish-red at room temperature.

2. Now, add ice, blend. Serve and enjoy! 

Note:

*This smoothie needs to be consumed immediately as the longer it is left to stand the more it will thicken with a curdled appearance because of the dairy product such as milk.

If you wish to make the smoothie in advance blend all the fresh fruits without adding dairy product. Store it in covered container in fridge and blend or whisk the milk before serving. As a result, you will get a refreshing drink.

Stay Healthy!
