Smoothies - Home Economics

Today, in our lesson in Home Economics, we made smoothies, not just regular smoothies but healthy smoothies with different nutrients. The smoother recipes were divided into each group. We had to rate and give comments about each smoothie.  Each group require 4 people, my group's recipe was 'Chocolate Banana Smoothie'. 

We each had little cups where we pour and taste the smoothies on. 

The smoothies (I can remember) were...

• Chocolate Banana Smoothie 

Rate:  5/5

Texture: Smooth & Creamy

Comments: I like the combination of the chocolate and banana because the taste of banana, it's naturally sweet and the chocolate flavour complemented the sweetness of the banana, giving it a creamy texture.

Something I would change: Nothing

• Mango and Banana Smoothie

Rate:  4/5

Texture: Smooth, Silky and Creamy

Comments: The sour taste of the mango goes well with the sweetness of the banana.

Something I would change: Maybe add vanilla ice cream

• Frozen Fruit Yoghurt Smoothie 

Rate:  3/5

Texture: Rough bits 

Comments: The weetbix gave the texture roughness but it was overall smooth. It was a bit sour due to the berries that were used. 

Something I would change: sift it to get rid of the rough texture because I think it would be better to have a smooth and creamy texture.

• Banana Ice Cream Smoothie 

Rate:  4/5

Texture: Smooth 

Comments: There were chunky bits 

Something I would change: Add vanilla ice cream

• Peach Smoothie 

Rate:  2/5 

Texture: Smooth and Creamy and Shiny

Comments: The peach gave the smoothie a sour flavour 

Something I would change: Add vanilla ice cream and leave peach chunks
