Week 2 of this glorious smoothie-a-day challenge. SO MANY DELICIOUS SMOOTHIES. It's seriously- I just- Why haven't I thought to do this before?
Day 8
Name: Tropical Mystery Mix (there's no mystery, it's banana, pineapple, and kiwi. Sorry for the confusion)
Difficulty: Cutting and scooping kiwis annoys me. If you don't have that personality trait than this is pretty easy.
Rating: 4/10 I might be allergic to kiwis or something
Ingredients:
- 1 banana (I'm noticing that this makes for a good base in most smoothies
- 1 kiwi
- 1/4 cucumber (frozen, not sure if that matters though)
- 1/2ish cup of pineapple (and juice) from a can
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 2 ice cubes
Notes:
Good flavor, but I get that weird scratchiness from the kiwi again. Maybe I'm allergic. Either way kiwis and I are not on the greatest terms right now.
Day 9
Name: Strawberry-Peach (hint: it has strawberries and peaches)
Difficulty: Moderate. Unless you know how to open cans, then you're golden.
Rating: 9/10 this thing is monstrously delicious
Ingredients:
- 4/5 frozen strawberries
- about 1/2 peach. I used canned peach, but that's what it looks like to me
- 1/4 cucumber (frozen, not sure if that matters though)
- 1 ice cube
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon honey
Notes:
This tastes phenomenal. If you don't like canned fruit then go buy a fresh peach you pretentious hipster; I've got student loans and a videogame addiction that I need to feed.
Day 10
Name: Strawberry Pineapple (no clever name here, sorry guys)
Difficulty: Sentient Infant
Rating: 8/10
Ingredients:
- 3 frozen strawberries
- 1/2ish cup of cut pineapples (again, I used canned so deal with it)
- 1/2ish cup milk
- 1/2ish cup apple cider
- 6 oz strawberry yogurt
Notes:
This guy was a pretty standard, good smoothie. It's like if you took all of the ingredients, blended them up, and then drank what came out.
Day 11
Name: Chocolate Banana Pineapple
Difficulty: If you have hands and taste buds, this should be just fine!
Rating: 7/10
Ingredients:
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup cut pineapples (with some juice from can)
- 1/2 cup milk
- like 2 or 3 tbs vanilla yogurt
- 1 or 2 teaspoons of chocolate syrup
- 1 or 2 ice cubes
Notes:
Chocolate covered bananas are pretty decent, right? Well imagine that in liquid form, but with the fun atmosphere of a pineapple getting involved. It's good.
Day 12
Name: Peach - Pineapple - Grape
Difficulty: Fourth Grade Spelling Test
Rating: 6/10
Ingredients:
- about half a cup of grapes
- 1/2 cup pineapple pieces
- about half a peach (from a can if you really want to emulate this flavor)
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/4ish cup milk
- 1/2ish cup vanilla yogurt
Notes:
The pineapple was a bit overpowering, but hey, if you like that kind of thing then you should be all set.
Day 13
Name: Peach and Berries (I like to think this refers to Princess Peach and the "berries" are like her personal Goombas or something stupid like that)
Difficulty: So easy when you already have an open can of peaches
Rating: 9/10
Ingredients:
- about 1/3 of a peach (it's hard to estimate, get off my back)
- 1/2ish cup of frozen mixed berries
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2ish cup of vanilla yogurt
- teaspoon of honey
Notes:
Peach was kind of drowned out by the plentiful berries but that's cool because those taste pretty rad. Plentiful berries? What?
Day 14
Name: Berries and Peanutbutter
Difficulty: Controlling the Fly-by-Wire Missile in Perfect Dark
Rating: 7/10
Ingredients:
- 1/2ish cup of frozen mixed berries (or mix your own if you're feeling audacious)
- 1 tablespoon of peanutbutter
- 1/2ish cup of vanilla yogurt
- 1/2ish cup of milk
Notes:
Maybe adding some more milk or some ice would help, this didn't make a lot of smoothie. And if you know me, I require an enormous volume of smoothie to fill the void.
