Today is all about my little Jane's favourite. We drink juice every morning and i prepared them before i leave for work. Preserving the freshness and nutrient is very important (... but that's a different topic at all and we will see if I can spend some time share with you about it tomorrow). In fact, i did quite a fair bit of research before I decide on the method to prepare fresh juice and store them (properly) for consumption a few hours later.
Yesterday (yes, it was already yesterday... it is now 12:56am) we made orange-banana smoothie with strawberries. It's my little Jane's favourite. Here's our recipe:
orange-banana smoothie with strawberries
Serves 4
1 ripe banana (or 2 if you like it thicker)
4 to 6 Strawberries
5 Oranges
100ml filtered water
some ice cubes
Juice the orange into a pitcher. Peel the banana and throw into the OJ together with the other ingredients. Use a stick blender and give it a good blend.
The reason why I am adding some water is because the banana tend to make the drinks very sweet and my girl doesn't like it. It also make it less viscous. Serve it cold, it makes a very refreshing drinks. I thinks a little bit of mint will be nice... but have not tried.
If you have left over, you can also freeze it in Popsicle mould and it also makes a very good all natural Popsicle.
