Smoothie Baby

Today, I will talk about the purplish goo that I’ve been having for breakkie! Every morning, my long suffering flatmates wake up to the alarm clock that is my beloved Philips blender. I’ve tried damping the sound by wrapping my blender in a cloth but it’s still quite loud… I think they still love me though :)

For a super duper powderful smoothie, I usually use:

Banana, kiwifruit, and some mixed berries... (Blueberries + strawberries + raspberries are the best combination I think. Currently, I have cranberries, blackberries, and blackcurrants in stock. I also microwave them a bit so that I don’t get brainfreeze.)

A few slices of mango...

About half a cup of plain yoghurt... If you want it sweeter, you can add vanilla yoghurt:

Baileys (Haha jokes. Don't you think our collection is pretty though?)



A small tps of spirulina (smells and tastes like rotted liver but it’s SUPER good for you)

Put banana, yoghurt, mango, spirulina, kiwifruit, and berries in that order cos it blends pretty that way.

I left out the mango and kiwifruit for this one

Tadah~

It usually isn’t that pretty. I cheat one, added the sliced lemon and wand for presentation-- tips I learnt from working in the hospitality industry. Huitein would be so proud of me!

I’ve packed my smoothie to class quite a few times, and I always get people asking me “What is that?!” in a disgusted tone and a scrunched up face. To be fair, it does look a bit like Barney’s vomit, but it is oh so yummylicious! Try it :)

I finally have a 12 pack!

Good recipes are meant to be shared!

3 years ago, I was first introduced to salty popcorn. Although objectionable at first, I soon grew to love it. After trying out most of the supermarket popcorn brands and flavours, I started experimenting with making my own popcorn. Today, after years of research, burnt paper bags, and a very cracked bowl, I have created my perfect popcorn recipe! The ultimate study snack and healthier than chips or supermarket popcorn~

Chicken Curry Popcorn (Warning: addictive)

1 210x240mm brown paper bag

half a cup of popping corn

1 tp of olive oil

1 oxo chicken stock cube

1tp of Empire hot curry powder

Instructions:
- Mix corn with oil.
- Crumble chicken stock cube into it. Add in curry powder (you can leave it out if you don’t like curry).
- Pour half of mixture into paper bag.
- Microwave on high for around 2-3min until popping slows down dramatically or stops.
- Pour out contents (careful it’s hot!) into a big bowl.
- Pour the rest of the unpopped corn into the non-oily side of the bag and microwave like before.
- Enjoy munching!


Another recipe that people have been asking me to share is my chocolate cake recipe. It can be retrieved from here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/One-Bowl-Chocolate-Cake-III/Detail.aspx

I use 1 cup of cocoa and I don’t use a mixer. Super easy and dummy-proof. Try it and lemme know what you think!
