Fresh Fruit Smoothie

Ingredients

• 350 ml soy milk
• 120 ml orange juice
• 40 ml vanilla yogurt
• 60 g baby spinach
• 120 g strawberries
• 85 g pineapple
• 60 g banana

Directions

1. Combine: Mix soy milk, juice, and yogurt until well blended.
2. Layer: Add fruits first, then vegetables so vegetables sit closest to the blade.
3. Blend: Add remaining liquid, secure lid, and blend on high until smooth and fully combined.
4. Adjust Texture: If too thick, add 2 tbs water and blend again to desired consistency.

Chef's Notes

• Use about 510 ml liquid to 325 g fruit and vegetables. More liquid makes a thinner smoothie; more fruit creates a gelato-like texture.
• Any frozen berries work well. Blackberries and raspberries have more seeds; blueberry skins take slightly longer to blend.
• Frozen fruits work best, but fresh fruits are fine.
• Frozen mango is an excellent substitute for frozen pineapple; both are commonly available in Thailand.
• Kale can replace spinach, though spinach may be easier to find in Thailand.
• My grandson called this Foofah and the name stuck
