Smoothie: Orange + Organic Kailan (also called Chinese Broccoli or Chinese Kale) + Carrot +Banana + Ice cubes



=======================================
Smoothie: Orange + Kailan (also called Chinese Broccoli or Chinese Kale) + Carrot +Banana + Ice cubes

At about 5.00 pm on 2010-07-30 (Friday) I made a smoothie with the following for the first time:

(a) Orange without skin 120 grams
(b) Organic Kailan (also called Chinese broccoli or Chinese Kale, produced by FireFlies Health Farm) 100 grams
(c) Carrot without skin 130 grams
(d) Banana without skin 100 grams
(e) Ice cubes 100 grams

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 550 ml

No. of Serves = 2

Tasters: Myself

Verdict: Ok although I prefer a pure fruit smoothie.

Note:

(1) Kailan adds a ‘green’ element to the smoothie. Any smoothie with a green leaf vegetable as an ingredient will taste “green veg”!
(2) Scientific name of kailan is Brassica alboglabra.
(3) The price of the organic kailan was S$2.70 (about 250 grams).
