Smoothie , delicious colorful drinks

Do you drink your smoothie or eat your smoothie?

For most of you, without thinking, must be drinking, right?

What else it can be!?

If it's for myself, sometimes, I will have all the ingredients, fruits, milk, yogurts and more individually.

Why? Because I'm lazy, and besides, I love fruits, I always joke that I have a separate space for fruits same thing as for sweets even when I am full.

Why bother to blend them, and, do the extra cleaning afterward?

But if it's someone, like my kids, are even lazier to eat the fruits without someone's reminder or pushing.

I will make the smoothies for them, even it can be tedious, yes, I do so.

Also, it's the best time for me, again, blend in some tiny little bit of secret ingredients that they won't enjoy having them alone, stuffs like plain yogurt, pineapple, dragon fruit, flax seed powder etc.

And this just gives me an idea, next time, for our small group gatherings, I should have the make-on-site-smoothies for them.

Lastly, I should admit that making the smoothies can be joyful too; to see someone you love consume healthy food, to practice your creativity, your imagination, your artistic, to enjoy and appreciate our creator's creations.

米漿 rice milk

As a matter of fact, rice milk does not have any milk in it, then why does it called rice milk? I don't either.

Allow me to share with you, my kind of rice milk. Here are the ingredients, brown rice, walnuts, peanuts, sugar and water.

I enjoy cooking, well, sometimes, but am lazy in precise measuring the ingredients , most of the time, judge with my own eyes and feeling. 

Brown rice, walnuts and peanuts are roasted ahead. Then cook the brown rice. Wait until all cool down, blend them with plenty of water till smooth. In the end, I do warm them up and add sugar at this point. Serve it warm.

a very young coconut

A very young coconut that full of juice that before you open it, you shake it and you don't even think there is any juice in it. It is silent.
I almost faint when I thought about those coconuts that I just bought at a 50% discount and assume that it must have no juice at all and that's why the supermarket is giving them away at such a big discount. Then I tell my son, oh! It must be too young to have any juice yet; we will only eat the coconut meat. Ha! Ha!

And there a big difference between young and mature coconut,  a mature coconut has a soft eye, but not the young coconut, therefore you have to cut open a hole in order to drink the juice like I do, unlike the mature coconut, you just find the soft eye and drill a hole in it and drink the juice easily. 
Don't forget about the yummy coconut meat after you drink all the juice, you can use a spoon to take out all the meat, like in my case, young coconuts or crack open the mature coconut from the center of the coconut for it has a nature line with no sweat.

boba milk tea

Last week for the first time, I make my own boba milk tea; it turns out quite good, according to all my tasters. Ha! Ha! I’m proud of myself. And what I mean, I’ve got a lot of tasters, is I share them with my older ones fellowship group.

And the reason that I try more to prepare food by myself instead of buying, firstly, of course, the cost, is much affordable. Secondly, but the most importantly, as people say, you are what you eat, it’s funny yet kind of scaring too. You don’t what sort of ingredients that those business people, they try to put them in your mouth also how much are they. For example, for the boba milk tea, you got to have sugar, can you imagine how much sugar that consumer in one cup of it?

Another example, for the dish that they serve at the restaurant, can you tell what kind of quality is that after it’s been cook, or do they thoroughly wash the food before cooking? I really doubt about it. But eat out occasionally, is acceptable, as a reward for yourself and relax a bit.

Sharing is not show off time, how much or how expensive of stuffs that you are willing to share but the heart of love from God. Oh! Yeah! The servanthood!
