How to choose fresh ripe bananas
- To make this smoothie, you can use various types of bananas such as: steamed banana, porcelain banana, green banana, royal banana,…
- When buying, choose bunches of bananas that are fully ripe (not overripe), when holding the fruit, it should feel slightly soft, with a few black spots on the skin but still looking fresh and not wilted.
- Additionally, to choose clean, naturally ripe bananas, you should prioritize bunches that have stems, trunks, and uniformly ripe bananas (even if there are some green ones).
- Do not choose bananas with an eye-catching yellow outer skin, smooth skin, without blemishes but feel hard when squeezed. Because these bananas are either artificially ripened or ripened with chemicals.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh apples
- Good apples will have a uniform dark red color, without green or red blotches; prioritize those with a deeper red color and small white specks, as these will be sweeter.
- Additionally, when buying, you should choose apples that still have the stem intact and firmly attached to the fruit.
- There is a small trick when buying apples; you can gently flick the apple with your finger. If you hear a loud, clear sound and it feels firm, not soft, then it is a crunchy, delicious apple.
- Avoid choosing apples that are bruised, have black spots on the skin, or show scratches, as these can quickly spread and damage the remaining intact apples.
How to choose fresh lychees
- To make your smoothie sweeter and tastier, you should choose lychee as this variety has a pleasant sweet taste, thick flesh, and small seeds.
- When buying, you should select fruits with pink or red skin that still look fresh; the spines on the skin should be smooth, not rough, which indicates that these lychees are sweet and ripe.
- Moreover, when buying, you should gently squeeze the lychee; if you feel the flesh is soft, has good elasticity, and is easy to separate from the seed, then these are good quality lychees.
- Avoid purchasing lychees that have many black spots, cracks, are odorless, or have a fermented or strange smell as these fruits may be unripe or overripe, making them not sweet and tasty anymore.

How to choose delicious longan with thick flesh
- You should choose longan fruits that have a dark yellow skin, feel firm when gently squeezed, and show no signs of being soft, shriveled, or infested with insects.
- In addition, good longan with thick flesh will have fruits that cling tightly to the branch forming a cluster, and prioritize selecting clusters that still have fresh leaves attached to the branch.
- Do not buy clusters of longan that exhibit signs such as: shiny yellow skin, no smell or an unusual odor. Because these longan fruits have mostly been treated with chemicals during the growing process to help the flesh thicken quickly but lack sweetness inside, so even if they have thick flesh, you should not buy them!
