Hey, guys!
It’s Lucie Fink and today I’m with YouTuber,
Safiya Nygaard, the queen of beauty, style,
and weirdness.
Thank you.
Hello, Refinery29.
Today we’re doing the Smoothie Challenge.
Yeah!
You’ve heard of this before?
Oh I’ve watched a few smoothie challenges.
For people that are watching at home,
let me explain how this challenge works.
In case, you’re confused.
We have two bags.
These bags have inside of them 14 ingredients,
7 good and 7 bad.
I’m trying really hard not to look at them.
We’re going to close our eyes and reach into the bags.
One by one, we’re going to each pull out 7 ingredients.
And whatever we get, we’re stuck with.
We’re going to add them to our blender,
mix it together.
Cheers!
And see if we need to spit in our
millennial pink spit buckets.
So do you want to go first?
Well now that you said that, sure.
Remember you can pick from either bag.
Oh!
Eyes closed.
Hands in.
Pull one out.
Show the viewers what you got.
She’s going in.
This is going to be bad.
Cottage cheese!
Could be worse…
I’m going to go into your bag.
Grapes!
These are going to be olives I think.
They’re olives!
Is that soy sauce?
Soy sauce.
This feels like this could be fruit.
Oh that’s fruit.
Yes!
Nutella!
Oh yes!
Yes!
Great.
And it’s butter. Yup.
You know what it was.
Look what I just got!
Okay I’m going in this one.
I haven’t been in this.
Cold is good.
Oh!
Wow.
I thought it was going to be really bad.
Oh it’s spilling.
Black chia seeds!
That goes in a smoothie.
Alright, one more each.
Should we go at the same time?
—Yes. –Okay.
One of these is good and one of these is bad.
Uh-oh.
I got molasses.
Could be worse.
Molasses taste strange.
I’m just going to pull this out.
Oh it’s tartar sauce.
Oh no.
So I guess it’s time to build our smoothies.
Do you have a technique for this?
I have never done this challenge before,
so I have no technique.
I’m also not a big smoothie maker.
I’m a smoothie consumer
when a smoothie is presented to me.
So I’m going to actually go ahead and
be strategic about how I layer the items in my jar.
I’ll layer things because
you know if I have mustard in there,
I’d rather it be
totally overpowered like right next to the Nutella.
Rather than having it be next to something like grapes,
where it will just absorb full flavor.
Okay I’m putting the butter in first.
Soy sauce covered grapes.
Got a little bit of banana in there.
Alright, olives.
Have you…
let me smell.
Just really a wave of scent.
I actually really like olives.
I think I'm going to have one.
Okay, I’ll have one too then.
It’s too early for this.
I got some strawberries here.
I’m gonna go in with strawberries.
Yours looks good honestly.
It’s almost like…
—I want a sip of that. —If you don’t look hard enough
these are like blueberries.
Yeah.
It’s like it looks great.
It looks like a really good smoothie.
I agree.
I’m going to pack this smoothie with chia.
Great.
I’m just going to go with tartar sauce next.
Nutella time.
Oh god.
I’m trying to overpower everything with Nutella.
This doesn’t smell that bad.
I’m just going to pour a little molasses in there.
—This cottage cheese… —Okay that’s good.
That’s good.
You can stop now.
Okay.
Condiment time.
To top it off.
So you have OJ, which is your liquid.
I need to add some water to this.
Otherwise mine won’t blend.
So this is really the disturbing part
when you make it liquid-y.
Oh wow!
Look at that water cascading over that mustard.
I’m going to add ice in there.
That’s what I like to see.
Okay.
Push it and turn.
Oh wow.
Mine turned so red.
Mine is brown.
It’s the Nutella. It’s the Nutella.
That’s pretty good.
I think we can serve.
I’m going to be honest.
This looks quite appetizing.
Yeah, you really hit the strawberry on the head.
Fun, it’s fun.
Okay let me get a whiff of this.
Hah.
Mmm.. what?
It has about five scents.
Oh wow!
Mine’s not bad.
Mine smells like a strawberry shake gone rotten.
Yours smells way worse than mine.
Yeah, wow yours smells kind of interesting and good.
Oh my god.
I don’t know if you should drink that.
You might get ill.
It smells like it just…
I think it’s the OJ.
Really?
It’s giving it that acidity.
Oh yeah it’s like you brush your teeth
and then drink orange juice.
Yeah.
Yeah it is like that.
And this is sort of like a sour chocolate milkshake.
Okay let me smell it again.
It smells… yeah it smells almost like when
you’re eating straight chocolate like a
bitter chocolate.
100% raw cacao.
Exactly.
Should we do our cheers?
Are we so excited?
—Cheers! —Cheers!
For the thumbnail.
Here we go.
How big of a sip are you going at?
I’m just holding my nose.
Okay, me too.
Wait a sec…
Mine doesn’t taste that bad.
Mine is good!
Yours is good?
Whoa.
Hold on.
Oh!
Aftertaste, aftertaste is bad.
Aftertaste is bad.
Aftertaste is really bad.
You have to try this.
—Now you have to try mine too. —Okay.
You will not get a bad aftertaste from mine.
Right?
The only x-factor…
Wait, yours smells so bad.
It’s the tartar sauce I think.
Yours is the mustard.
I taste the mustard in yours.
It’s okay at first and then wait,
do you feel the tartar sauce?
I feel it.
I feel the tartar sauce.
One more check.
I’m going to get mine back.
Mine’s good.
So you really like it?
I wouldn’t choose it.
I feel like you could actually do all of it
minus the mustard and it would be really good.
So I would say this is a whopping success
of the Smoothie Challenge.
What I’ve learned here today is just
don’t bring tartar sauce.
I think that’s really…
Don’t even put it in the bag as an option.
No, yeah it screwed me over to be honest.
Well, Safiya, this was sufficiently fun.
It could be worse. It could be this.
I’m so happy that you came
and did this with us.
Thank you for having me!
Thank you so much for joining us
and I guess we’ll see you next time.
And in the meantime, we’ll be blending up
mustard, chia seeds, strawberries..
Next time, when we do this again.
See ya!
