Hello Everyone,
I recently found a community called @amazingdrinks here on Hive and said I was going to share my smoothie drinks in this community, so today I decided to make a smoothie blend and share it with you all.
I feel like it's pretty easy to make smoothies once you find a good ratio of ingredients that work for your preferred taste.
I get all of my ingredients from a local Aldi's grocery store.
I prefer fresh ingredients over anything, but I usually get some of my ingredients in frozen medley bags because buying the fruits separately and fresh is more costly and will still need to be frozen because I live alone and cannot consume all of the ingredients before they go bad.
As we see I do have some fresh stuff here, and these are things that last longer in the refrigerator.
- Half carrot.
- 3 Mandarin oranges.
- Half lemon
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Almond milk
- Water
My measurements are all done by eye.
Let's start making this smoothie!
Adding all of the ingredients is pretty easy. Just throw the carrot in there, peel those oranges and throw them in there, and dump some of the berry medley in the blender. I go about 3/4ths full blender.
This will give me 3 full cups of this healthy amazing drink.
I've never had any issues with this Season's Choice brand. The fruit always comes relatively fresh looking in its frozen state.
I pour the almond milk halfway up the fruit.
Then I add some water to about 3/4ths level of the fruit.
The reason I do this is to conserve almond milk. Things are not cheap these days, and it is smart in my opinion to get the highest calorie almond milks because they can be diluted without noticing with a little water. This is a money saving trick I've come up with.
Now it's time to juice my lemon :D
This style lemon squeezer really get's the job done well.
Let's go ahead and put that lemon juice in the blender.
You can throw the pulp in the blender too, or dispose of it, but most of the time I just add it in the blender. It doesn't make a big difference with the flavor either way to add the pulp.
Only one step left...
With this template for smoothie creation, it's going to come out pretty perfect. I've never heard a complaint from any man or woman who's ever drank my smoothies, and that puts a smile on my face every time :)
I make other types of smoothies too, and sometimes use other ingredients like cherries and bananas. I love a variety of different fruit tastes and this one is more of a tart drink that goes really good with meals.
Would you try futuremind's smoothies?
I would love to know in the comments!
Thank you for stopping by,
Have a great day! -@futuremind
Hi @futuremind
I was about to stop by to comment on your interesting post, but I've been very busy, sorry.
I love this smoothie, it's delicious, all the ingredients you used go so well together. It's also really nice to see you posting to the community.
A hug!
Hi @sirenahippie,
Thank you for stopping by and for the kind words of approval for my smoothie drink!
I totally understand about being busy because I am as well, and I'll do my best to catch your posts too!
🤗
This is a very healthy juice @futuremind , but in my country this type of berry is very expensive and hard to get.
Thank you for the kind words.
I wish you had better access to fruit where you live and that it was not very expensive.
Here we have access to lots of fruit, but it is also very expensive compared to everything else. I cannot afford to drink this stuff every single day, it's way too expensive for me currently.
Healthy stuff always seems to cost more, and it should be the other way around.
You could sell anything with that smile :) I think I'll send this blog to my daughter, who is a great fan of fruit smoothies.
When I was a younger man I was much more shy with my smile, but I've learned throughout life that insecurities hold us back and that oftentimes the reasons for such insecurities are laden with obscurities in perception.Thank you so much @agmoore,
That's awesome your daughter is into fruit smoothies too!
I'm sure she's a talented lovely young lady. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, pun intended :)
Yes, she is the apple of my eye 😁, one of them, anyway. Fortunately I have two eyes and two apples ;))
When my granddaughter was very very young, too young to be polluted by mass advertising, my daughter used to give her vegetables as a 'treat'. If you handed that child a slice of raw green pepper, she would munch away in delight. 🥒
Edit:
BTW: I used to hate smiling also, because I had spaces in my teeth. When I was 49 had bonding placed on my front teeth and haven't stopped smiling since.:))
Yours is one of the best, truly.
I should try this one out. Looks good to combat the heat too. Great to see the 3D printed lemon squeezer in action. :)
Definitely good on a hot day, and some ice cubes thrown in gives that nice crunchy cold :D The 3D printed squeezer is awesome, practical print.
Using the 3d printed lemon squeezer 😂😂🍋💪😜
Now that looks damn delicious bud! I'll rarely ever say no to a smoothie and especially one with berries and strawberries in 😂😂🍓
The almond milk well that, I've never tried it yet but seeing now it looks nothing like milk😂😂🥛
Thanks man!
I think smoothies are one of those universal things that most people love, not many people claim to not like smoothies lol.
I can't drink the real milk anymore due to lactose intolerance and there's things about the almond milk I'm not sure about, but at the end of the day I'm always thinking how crazy it is that most of our foods and drinks come in containers that we do not know everything that's in it, and we have to go on a blind faith that it's safe to consume. I don't know how many people think about these things lol.
It looks so good
Luckily, I recently bought a smoothie blender because I want to start making smoothies
I'd try this but I don't think I can get Almond milk anywhere around
That is great you recently got a blender!
You could substitute with something else instead of almond milk.
I'm sure you could make some amazing drinks.
In fact I know you can with the amazing cooking skills you have.Thank you @rafzat.
I liked smoothie 🥤 your receipe seems very nice and easy to follow it. You are right every smoothie has easy to make it ☺️
I enjoy making healthy drinks and teaching others how to make things like this too.Thank you @sanach!
Oh, you still have a strawberry season? not available in my country atm.
Where I live in New York, there's never really off seasons for fruits because they can be found on the shelves year round in the city.
Contrary to popular belief, New York is mostly woods and nature and fresh fruit stands are definitely seasonal, so the freshest best stuff is seasonal but we always have fruit no matter what because of corporations making frozen bags of stuff like this.
One thing I love is that cup of yours that looks like it's filled with bubbles but it's not and just the design of the cup. Really artsy and beautiful.I'm absolutely eager to know how @futuremind's smoothies taste like. Though, I'm sure with these procedures, it's pretty amazing.
You know the right words to make a man feel flattered @jhymi <3
It always makes me happy when a lady enjoys my creations.
You have a good eye for artistic cool things too noticing that cup. I too love that bubble effect and it tricks people all the time of thinking I'm drinking stuff with bubbles in it hahaha.
Who knows, maybe one day you will get to try futuremind's smoothies :)
Such a drink which is cool in summer is very comforting especially when we make it at home and we know that it is made of good material here when we also make it at home. It sounds like a lot of fun to drink what you made.
Thank you my friend.
These types of drinks are very expensive here, but we are fortunate to have access to such frozen fruit varieties.
Most welcome dear.
I love your selfies. You always look so happy. Maybe it;s the smoothies!
The smoothies certainly have a lot to do with it, that and all the love I get from lovely ladies like you. ❤️That's so sweet of you to say, thank you @owasco!
aw...
I was wearing my facemask whilst reading. You have no idea how active my saliva gland whilst I was reading this 🤣Now I'm not wearing a mask 🤣
I zombified you into a drooling stupor with my smoothies, nice 😂
Bueno al menos este batido se ve bastante normal comparado con otros que he oído jajajaj genial como siempre, verte traer cosas nuevas por aquí.
jajajaja thank you my friend :D
