A huge welcome to Steve's kitchen. It is another Tuesday so it's smoothie Tuesday
and today it's a favorite of mine because we're going for mangoes and
avocados. It doesn't get much better than that, we're going to enhance the flavor with
a little bit of mint and I'm going to be using orange juice as my carrier. Just come
down here now, our mango is going to be frozen. We've got 2 cups, frozen is best
for smoothies even if you take fresh is worth freezing it up so you can use it
in the smoothie. I've got these lovely little avocados, they're beautiful and
tender. I'm going to use two of those, we're going to use an orange for our orange juice,
some mint for a little extra flavor and about half a cup of ice. Let's get this
smoothie on the road. Pop in 2 cups of frozen mango, my second cup going in
there, just ease them out of the bowl. Half a cup of ice, Now take your avocado,
pop the knife in and just run the blade around the outside. Now these are
seedless avocados, we're going to give them a little twist as normal but look
at that no seed inside. Now I'm pulling your leg,
I took the seed out, sorry about that. Now we can just use a spoon to scoop this
out as I'm going to use two avocados, they are beautiful and tender. Now we'll
just show you there is a tiny little seed inside these, I'm just going to give
that a little twist and pull it out, last one, pull it away from the skin, drop it
in. I've got some mint here, just going to break maybe half a dozen mint leaves, pop
them into the blender as well. The more mint, the more flavor you're going to get from
that mint and I love the mint in this particular smoothie. Now take this orange
I'm just going to nip the ends off, one and two. I'm going to cut roughly in line
with a segment if I can see one halfway down and then we're just going to peel
this open. Now with some oranges it will come away in one piece with this one
it's a little tougher but I'm just going to pull the skins away, I want the
segment's, a little bit of pith won't mind. So I've got four segments of orange.
You could use orange juice, I'm going to use
fresh orange, I just think it's nice. Pop those on top of the mint and 1/2 a cup
of water, pop our lid on nice and tight. Turn my power on now I'm going for green
smoothie again, you can just put it on a high speed until its blitz if you like.
Now that's ready, let's get the lid off. Oh it looks silky smooth inside there, it
almost looks like ice cream. Now come on let's get and give this a try. Now I'm
going to pour that out, now these glasses they look small but they're absolutely
huge. I'm going to go to about there so Michele and I can get to share it. Now
get and leave some comments, let me know what you think about the healthy
smoothie series we're doing and please if you're enjoying it hit that share
button, share it across to your friends and family and let them get involved.
This definitely made two decent-size, these glasses by the way are more volume
than they actually look, they are huge smoothies. Now I'm going to give this a try.
I'm really looking forward to, the smell off this one is delicious and don't forget
my earlier tip if you want to add some oatmeal and nuts into this to make it into
a nice full complex meal, you can do but I'm going au natural. Let's give this a
try, give it a little shake, loosen up the smoothie. Ooh that's so good , is there
apples in there, it tastes like apples. It's sweet, that is so so delicious I'm
going to kick back, Michele and I we're going to enjoy these smoothies. If you
decide to make them share me some pictures across and comments on any
social media you like. Now it's important that we get some of this goodness into
our life so we can enjoy the naughtier foods at other times. So I'll see you
next Tuesday, be good, take care and see you then.
