Smoothie: Orange + cabbage + Carrot +Banana + Ice cubes

At about 5.00 pm on 2010-07-23 (Thursday) I made a smoothie with the following for the first time:

(a) Orange without skin 100 grams (Dietary fibre = about 2.2 grams, energy = 49 kcal )

(b) Cabbage 100 grams (Dietary fibre = about 2.5 grams, energy = about 25 kcal))

(c) Carrot without skin 200 grams (Dietary fibre = about 5.6 grams,energy = about 82 kcal))

(d) Banana without skin 100 grams (Dietary fibre = about 2.6 grams, energy = about 89 kcal)

(e) Ice cubes 100 grams

Total Dietary fibre = about 12.9 grams

Total energy = about 245 kcal

Method: Use Ice Function of Philips Blender HR 2094 to crush the ice first and use the Smoothie Function 4 times for about 30 seconds each time with a 5-second break in between.

Smoothie produced with Philips Blender HR 2094 = About 600 ml

No. of Serves = 2

Tasters: Myself

Verdict: Ok although I prefer a pure fruit smoothie.

Note: Cabbage adds a ‘green’ element to the smoothie
