smoothies

as weird as this post is, it's actually about smoothies (;

so as my dear housemates know, my new 'in' thing is.. smoothies! it all started out with kenneth's surprise birthday party and i've never looked back since.

HAHA, actually, it's usually coz i forget i bought fruits and i'm forced to do something with em or risk them going bad, but hey, at lesat its FRESH fruits!

anyway, i got some comment on my tagboard from a passerby about making smoothies and though i dont' use set recipes, here goes =)

Banana Smoothie
three bananas, broken into pieces.
1/6 cup milk
1/3 cup juice ( i used berri's apple, mango and banana breakfast juice)
2cups of vanilla icecream
1/6 cup cream
2 tablespoons vanilla yoghurt
3 tablespoon of pineapple juice (or crushed pineapple so that there are some crunchy bits in the smoothie)
2 scoops of mango sorbet
1/2 tray of icecubes

and.. you just blend everything together and wal-laH!! banana smoothie (;
recipe works with oranges as well. will wait till other berries are back in season before i try other things.
yes, it taste pretty good but its definitely bad for your health. look at the icecream and miscellaneous other unhealthy stuff in there! passerby, if you're looking for health goods, please, stick to boost. and yes, it takes a lot of ingredients but that's probably because there is a vast collection of unhealthy goods in my fridge so when it comes to making stuff, it's not a problem (;

as i said earlier, there isn't a set recipe, mostly i go by taste, adding any additional ingredients as i go along.

have fun with smoothie making (;
refreshing drink to have, even in the winter.
may the force be with smoothies,
cheers~

fyi, vin, no more emoing at me already ok! me loves! (;
