Hi, everyone. We are in lillehammer at the Winter Youth Olympic [games]
and I am so excited because joining me today is a yuna Kim a
Two-time Olympian now Yuna has both a silver and a gold Medal
Yes, pretty impressive
So I'm guessing you know what the breakfast of champions is what would you say is your go-to?
Breakfast when you were training for the Olympics. [I] think the best practice for the athletes [is]
that the food day love and the the food that can
Make them feel better so that they can compete
their best [I] think
athlete
try Smoothie maybe before the training
When they are hungry, but they have to train so that they can they cannot eat too much before training
So I think athletes love
smoothly
It's a great way to get your breakfast in on the go really quickly
I'm so excited today because unit is actually going to be helping us with what we're calling our Olympic Smoothie taste test
[so] [we] are making a nutritious and delicious
Smoothie and then what we're going to do is take it out and let our young olympians
Taste it and we're Gonna see if they can guess with a secret ingredient
Now the secret ingredient today is a bit unique. It's actually tofu it's silken tofu
Have you ever had to open when it's moving no never [oh]?
So the first ingredient in our smoothie is going to be coconut water coconut water is full of electrolytes super hydrating
So you know if you can pour? Maybe half of that? Yeah, okay?
I always like starting with the liquids in a smoothie because that helps the blender blend it up a little better
That looks awesome
So our next ingredient is going to be some pineapple because this is a really tropical flavored smoothie
You can use fresh pineapple or canned pineapple just want to add about half of that pineapple
Next we're going to add some mango
It's got some beautiful fresh mango so we can add about half of that mango that we've peeled and seeded
So next we are going to add up and add a bananas had a nice smooth creamy texture to your smoothies
But also a ton of potassium and nutrient, so maybe we'll add about half of that banana because it looks pretty big
Just give it a peel and break it in half
next our secret ingredient as I
Mentioned for this smoothie we are adding silken tofu. It's a great source of protein
Really easy to digest you want to add about half of that tofu?
Are you worried about how that kofi's gonna taste? No one? I'm not [hahaha]
Alright, and then just for some additional flavor a little bit of spice and of course some nutrients as well
We're going to add some freshly grated ginger
you didn't have freshly grated ginger on hand feel free to use dried ginger, but it's not quite as good as freshly grated right and
Last but not least for just a little bit of [additional] sweetness. We're going to add just a drizzle of honey
So maybe like a teaspoon it really depends on how sweet you like your smoothie
See a little sugar can go a long way before a competition right that's perfect
Alright eunice shall we blend okay. Go for it
All right, so it's the moment [of] truth are we ready to try this that's [twosome] pouring
Look sunshiny in yellow. That is [what]?
You want to do the honors? [I] think you've earned it. You know two olympic medals you [get] breakfast first
Hmm, you think I
Love it
Is this the kind of thing that you would have the for training would you say that this is like unit approved
No, I've never tried
Smoothies before the training
But I will talk to the Korean athletes they better to have some smoothies before train
amazing
I'm ready to take this baby out there
Let's see if these young olympians can guess what the secret ingredient is [unicamp] made me a smoothie
I know it sounds a little crazy, but it's true um yuna Kim made this tropical smoothie for you
It's full of beautiful tropical ingredients, but also some secret ingredients [equaled] and I'm wondering if you can figure it out
Yeah, nice, and sweet so very strong banana in there very good
He's like gold. Oh
Yeah, my bad my bad
Would you believe me if I told you that there was tofu in this movie? That's awesome
Also, would you believe it if I told you? There's tofu in here what so this is no dairy?
