    • @Axelrun1994
      @Axelrun1994 5 років тому +21

      @Kai Hall let's remember that this doesn't apply to alcoholic of soft drink beverages that have whole ice cubes. If you put just a bit of ice, the heat from the ambient temperature and the liquid will make it melt faster so you're left with a watered down and hot, shitty drink. If you put a lot of ice then it keeps cooler for longer and doesn't melt half as fast.
      The reason it's better to use frozen fruit rather than ice in smoothies is because fruit is already 80%+ water and the sugars in the fruit aren't as concentrated as in a cocacola.
      It all about context.
      Edit: forgot to mention that a big benefit of Frozen fruti over using ice in smoothies is that the drink will take a lot longer to "separate" as it happens sometimes when the solids go to the top and the water stays at the bottom. I think this is the most horrible thing to see when you ask for a smoothie and it's already separated by the time the waiter gets it to your table

    My daily smoothie:
    140 g frozen fruit (usually blueberry or strawberry for me, but mango is good too)
    100 g frozen banana slices (I slice and freeze on a silpat, then put them in a zip-lock baggie or freezer container)
    50 g spinach (I buy fresh spinach, then freeze it)
    140 g greek yogurt (team Chobani all the way)
    230 g liquid (I do half orange or pineapple juice and half non-dairy milk)
    This is super basic, but you get a pretty consistent amount and viscosity every time. I also add spirulina powder, but that does not add to the taste or texture of the smoothie at all. If I am more hungry, I add 1/2 c cooked instant oats that I pre-blend. It adds nice fiber and bulk to the smoothie to keep you full for a longer time.

    I just found you, recently, and have been binging through your catalogue. This one hit home for me. I have some rules, for myself, that seem to overlap with yours (I've only barely started though, I could be wrong).
    1. The only leafy vegetable I can accept in my smoothie is spinach, and that shit better be fresh. The tiniest bit of wilt gives a specific flavor that WILL make me gag, usually leading to instantaneous vomit. Don't even try to Mr. Creosote me on this.
    2. No ice. Freeze the fruit if you want it icy. Use sherbet or sorbet. Something with flavor. Freeze some juice cubes, if you must.
    3. Keep the "green" flavors (thinking spirulina, etc.) to a minimum, and get some acidity to cut it. Sure, it's good for you, but you don't need THAT much, and smoothies aren't meant to taste like I'm drinking my lawn.
    My stepmother would make smoothies with fresh, unfrozen fruit, water, ice cubes, and gross herbal additives. She even admitted it didn't exactly taste good. But, "It's not THAT bad, so don't complain, and just drink it." Don't do that to yourselves, folks. You deserve better. Keep it fun and tasty, while keeping it healthy! Those concepts don't need to be mutually exclusive.
    (Edit) I accept your ice usage in the peanut butter, but I can't bring myself to drink nut butter smoothies. It's a texture revolt moment for me!

    Also worth noting a lot of fruits can either be classed as watery/juicy or heavy. Mango, banana and avocado* are heavy fruits, if you put them in a smoothie you'll notice they often become the focal point even if you put other things in it in equal quantity. These fruit also naturally go well with milk and greek yoghurt. The only exception to this is avocado, which has a heavy texture, but it's flavour is so mild it doesn't quite act the same as banana and mango.
    Nectarines, pears, berries etc. are all watery/juicy. If you put these in a blender without some kind of dairy or heavy fruit, it wouldn't even really be a smoothie, it'd just be juice, wouldn't it?
    I like to have a heavy fruit base that is the focal point of the smoothie, and use watery/juicy fruits to reduce the viscosity whilst still adding interesting flavours.
