Smoothies are in the air

More and more people talk or write about smoothies.

Here is one of those articles, which, while remaining very superficial, still highlights some interesting facts.

Tangerines, stawberries and nectarines

Blend together the juice of 3 freshly squeezed tangerines with a handful of strawberries and 2/3 nectarines to obtain a pint of a very liquid and bittersweet smoothie.

Mark: 7/10 ( as it felt to me like something was missing)

Variant of mango delight

Blend together the juice of 2 freshly squeezed oranges, and one freshly squeezed pink grapefruit with 2 peeled and sliced medium mango to obtain 2 large glasses of a liquid mango smoothie. My preference remains with the blissfl mango delight, which puree-like consistence was more of my taste.

Nevertheless, a good smoothie, hence a mark of 8/10.

Blissful Mango Delight

Blend together the juice of two freshly squeezed oranges with 2 peeled and cut medium mangoes, to obtain what can only be described as a blissful or even heavenly mango delight. Makes over a pint.

Pink grapefruit, pears and mangoes

I so enjoyed the last smoothie on satruday morning, that I decided to make another one very similar to it.

Blend together the juice of two freshly squeezed pink grapefruit with 3 peeled and cut pears and two peeled small mangoes to obtain a perfectly balance and succulent smoothie. Makes two pints.

Mark: 10/10 (I am biased to pears and mangoes :-))

The only drawback is that the taste of pears goes slightly over the mangoes. So you might want to try it with fewer pears.

Limes, lemons, bananas and kiwis disaster

Blend together the juice of 2 freshly squeezed lemons and 2 freshly squeezed limes, with 2 small bananas and 2 peeled kiwis to obtain one large glass of a very disgusting drink. The limes and the kiwis did not seem to blend well together.

Oranges, pinapple, kiwis and banana smoothie

Blend together the juice of two freshly squeezed oranges with half a pinapple, 2 kiwis, and 2 small bananas to obtain 1.5 pints of a very tasty smoothie, i.e. the flavour of all the fruits, except oranges, can be tasted.

Mark: 8/10 mainly due to the fact I am not such a great fan of kiwi...

Oranges, pinapple and strawberries

Blend together the jucie of 2 freshly squeezed oranges with half a pinapple, and 7/8 strawberries to obtain 1.5 pints of a nice and tasty smoothie.

Banana and avocado smoothie

Blend together 2 smallish bananas and one avocado, with a bit of water.

And you get a large glass of a very thick smoothie.

Once I am no longer on detox, I would need to try this with honey, or even a bit of milk such as oatmilk or almond milk to see how this impacts the taste.

Oranges, Nectarines, banana, kiwi and mango

Blend together the juice of 2 freshly squeezed oranges with 2 peeled and cut nectarines, one small banana, 2 kiwis and a medium mango to obtain 2 pints of a nice but disappointing smoothie, as the nectarines and mango taste is completely absent while the banana and kiwis' flavour is predominant.

Pink grapefruit, nectarines, strawberries and mango

Blend together the juice of 2 freshly squeezed pink grapefruits, with 3 nectarines, 6 or 7 strawberries, and a medium mango to get 2 pints of a nice but slightly disappointed smoothie.

As the taste of the nectarines was completely absent, and the grapefruits slightly too present.

Hence a mark of 5/10.
