How to make Green Bean Smoothie
-
Cook the green beans
Wash the green beans thoroughly, soak them in water for 3 – 4 hours until they soften. Then rinse the beans again, put them in a pot with 1 liter of water, and cook for 40 minutes until the green beans are cooked and evenly expanded, keeping the heat medium-low.
Tip: At this step, you can use a pressure cooker to help the beans cook faster (about 20 minutes) and become softer!
-
Mix the green beans
Pour the green beans through a sieve, retaining the cooking water. Place the green beans in a bowl, add 75g of sugar, and mix well.
Add 3 tablespoons of green beans into the blender and blend until smooth. Remove the blended beans and add them to the whole green beans in the bowl, mixing well.
-
Make the smoothie liquid
Place a pot on the stove with the retained cooking water from the green beans, keeping the heat medium. Add the pandan leaves and remove them when they turn light green and slightly yellow.
Put 1 tablespoon of cornstarch into a bowl, add 20ml of water, and stir to dissolve the cornstarch.
Next, gradually add 150ml of coconut milk, 100g of condensed milk, 75g of sugar, 3g of salt, and the cornstarch water into the pot, stirring continuously until the mixture is dissolved, then turn off the heat.

Completion
Put the mixed mung beans into a piping bag, then place that portion into a small plastic bag with just the right amount.
Then add enough smoothie liquid to fill about 2/3 of the bag, tightly tie the rubber band so that the liquid doesn’t spill out! Do this step by step until finished.
Tip: In this step, if you haven’t prepared a piping bag, you can use a small spoon to directly put the mung beans into the smoothie bag!
