How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
- Bananas: A bunch of delicious bananas, good quality will have green and yellow fruits with a light, distinctive aroma, evenly ripened stems, and skin with tiny black spots.
- Strawberries: You should buy strawberries that have a distinctive aroma, bright red skin, and are juicy, with fresh green stems tightly attached to the body.
- Mangoes: Choose mangoes that are uniformly yellow, with plump flesh, smooth skin, and hard stems, feeling firm when held.
- Pineapple: Choose ripe pineapples that are uniformly yellow and fresh from the crown to the end, or slightly green in some spots.
- Beets: Prioritize choosing firm beets that are not soft, with unwrinkled skin, and with leaves still attached.
- Blueberries: You should choose blueberries that are uniformly round and plump, with shiny skin that is not scratched or bruised.
- Peaches: You should buy peaches that are 3 – 5cm in diameter and evenly round. Ripe peaches will have a deep yellow color mixed with red, feeling firm when held.
- Spinach: Choose fresh, green bunches of spinach that still have roots. Avoid buying spinach with crushed, spoiled, or wilted leaves.
- Avocado: You should choose avocados with a slightly yellow stem core, feeling firm when held. Ripe avocados will have dark purple, rough skin and a light aroma.
- Carrots: Fresh carrots will have a bright orange color, long tapered shape, and smooth skin. It’s best to choose carrots with a small core in the middle and a moderate size.
- Raspberries: You should choose dark red raspberries with uniformly large round fruits. Good raspberries will have shiny skin and look juicy.
- Oranges: You should buy oranges that are round and balanced in shape, with bright skin. Fresh oranges will have stems still tightly attached to the body, feeling firm when held.
Tips for successfully making rainbow smoothies
- Each cup is equivalent to about 100 – 120g of ingredients, okay?
- Wash the above fruits, cut them into small pieces, then place them in the freezer for about 2 hours, then take them out and wait about 5 minutes before blending to let some of the frost melt. This helps the smoothie become thick, delicious, and not watery.
- You can buy Greek yogurt available at supermarkets nationwide. However, Greek yogurt is more expensive than regular yogurt, so you can also refer to how to make Greek yogurt at home!
