Where?
At my aunties house
Why is this experience on the Challenge List?
I have always loved a good smoothie from a smoothie bar or Boost Juice but this time I wanted to make my very own flavour with all fresh ingredients.
Description:
On the Saturday I ran around grabbing all the ingredients and prepared everything that we needed as we were having a sleep over at my aunties (my younger siblings asked if I could join them overnight). We had a big night and day planned with apple bobbing, exploding Coke and Mentos, having a bonfire and eating smores, backyard camping, eating ice cream for breakfast, eating a banana sundae and lastly making smoothies.
For the smoothies the ingredients I got was oranges, peaches, pineapple, red apples, strawberries and necterines. I asked everyone to create their own flavours and give it a name.
For mine I called it ‘Tropical punch’ and it consisted of:
- Orange
- Red apple
- Strawberries
- Pineapple
- Necterine
- Ice cubes
- Water
My brother made one and called it ‘Fruitastic’ and it consisted of:
- Red apple
- Orange
- Pineapple
- Peach
- Ice cubes
- Water
Everyone picked their own flavours from fresh ingredients and they were all sooooo yummy!!
Would I do it again?
Highly recommend!! It was so easy I just chucked everything into a Nutribullet and everyone got to make their own flavours which was the best part.
Currently I make a smoothie once or twice a week and its gotta be my all time favourite! I call it the ‘Choc banana bang’ and in it it has:
- 1 or 2 bananas
- Pana Organic Double Chocolate Ice Cream
- 2tsp Cacao powder
- Milk
- Ice cubes
Highlight:
After we had all finished making the smoothies I went to find my brother and found him lounging in a hammock with his smoothie! He looked so relaxed that he could have been on an island enjoying his smoothie :)
Cost:
It cost under $25 to gather all the ingredients, I wasn’t sure what everyone wanted so I just got a bit of everything so if you bought only the ingredients you want, it would probably be cheaper.
Further information:
Get fruits that are currently in season, it makes it tase better and its also cheaper.
Lastly, the ice cubes is actually the most crucial ingredient!! Dont believe me, try it for yourself… It’s like a secret ingredient because it changes the taste, by giving it that cold, fresh taste.
