How to choose fresh ripe bananas
- You should choose bananas that are of moderate size, with evenly yellow skin, and the stem still has a light green color.
- You should choose bananas that have tiny black spots on the skin because these bananas are soft and sweet, which will create a thicker consistency when blended.
- You should not choose bananas that are bright yellow but have a green stem, as these are often artificially ripened bananas that have been treated with chemicals.

Remove the husk and silk from the corn. Place the corn on a cutting board and use a knife to cut the kernels off the cob. Cut until all the kernels have been removed. Place the corn kernels and mango flesh on a plate.

How to choose fresh and delicious corn
- You can choose American corn or sticky corn for making smoothies, but if you use American corn, it will be sweeter!
- Fresh, delicious corn will have an attractive light green outer skin, and the corn silk is still moist and soft.
- Fresh, delicious corn will have plump, shiny, and uniform kernels. When held, the corn feels firm, with a slender shape, not too big or too small.
- Avoid choosing corn that is too large, with dry husks, wilted and fibrous silk, as these are usually old with hard kernels. Additionally, do not choose corn that is too small because these ears are still immature, with shriveled kernels.
Corn is truly delicious, nutritious, and extremely diverse with many ways to prepare, isn’t it? We hope that through TasteVN’s sharing, you can successfully make 2 ways to make corn smoothies that are refreshing and incredibly delicious!
