How To Make Smoothie Bowl: Pretty and Healthy

pink guava banana smoothie topped with kiwi berry, muesli, and blueberry

OK here comes my favorite smoothie bowl, pretty, healthy. Especially here in Indonesia, is it become popular lately? Well, I've been making it since few years ago, as I am into vegan food and healthy stuffs. It was when I couldn't get superfood easily as today, I used to get it from iherb. One of my fav place to shop nuts, seeds, and some other healthy ingredients is Club Sehat, you can check their website for online shopping or visit their stores in Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, and Bali, check the address, here. I visit Grand Lucky quite often, they also have wide selection of organic products. More places, check out the list down below.

Mango Smoothie



Tools:
High speed blender such as Vitamix and Blendtec. Basically, you can use any blender but why high speed blender better? Because you don't want to process your fruits & veggies for quite long time, the faster the better. I own a Cuisinart blender, it works great, and still affordable, but anyway I still want a Vitamix, someday. Anyway, you can also use a food processor, even better for making one ingredient banana ice cream.

The Base:
Frozen banana, frozen ripe mango, frozen berries, frozen grapes, avocado,  pineapple, soursop,

Liquid:
water, citrus juice (lemon, lime, orange), coconut water, homemade coyo (coconut yogurt) find out how to make it, here. 

Veggies:
kale, baby spinach, horenso, romaine lettuce

Superfood:
spirulina, maca powder, ground flax seed, carob powder, chia seeds, acai

Toppings:
fresh fruits, granola, muesli, raisins, goji berry, dried coconut flakes, toasted sliced almond, seeds (pumpkin, chia, sunflower seeds)

The idea is to combine sweet and sour fruits, adding some leafy greens can be an option. Here are some of my favorites:
  • frozen banana + strawberry
  • frozen mango + coyo + coconut nectar
  • frozen banana + blueberry + lemon juice
  • frozen banana + kale + pineapple + lemon juice
  • pineapple + frozen banana + sea salt
  • pink guava + strawberry
  • frozen grapes + horenso + coconut water
Why using frozen fruits? I like my smoothie cold, plus the thick consistency makes it easier to arrange the toppings. Anyway, you can also make vegan ice cream, using only frozen banana. You can use high speed blender or a food processor. Personally I like it with peanut butter, so good! It also works with almond or cashew butter.

Resep: Salmon Mentai Rice | Beef Shirataki Mentai

Image
It's delicious but really I could not finish one portion, yes thank's to the amount of mayo. So, let's just share.  Mentai Rice , it's actually very easy to make as long as you have kitchen blow torch or use the oven to broil the mentaiko sauce. The sauce itself is made from mayonaise, preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie and mentaiko (pollock roe / cod roe). If it's hard to find then simply replace it with tobiko (flying fish roe). Please do not skip the fish roe. Anyway, I bought the mentaiko from Tokopedia around IDR 270k for 500 grams, that's a lot, I know. Alternatively, take a look at Papaya Supermarket or other big supermarket as mentaiko is kinda hard to find here. I made 3 dishes with this Mentai sauce, the first one is the one with crabstick served with rice that mixed with nori powder, you can also use furikake. The second is nori rice with salmon aburi. Lastly, sweet and savory beef with garlic butter shirataki noodles. Well, the last one is definite

Resep: Savory Waffle (Pepperoni + Cheddar Cheese) Resep

Image
I've made waffle many times, and I prefer of light and crispy waffle to bread-like waffle. Adding some tapioca flour gives a quite significant result, also separating the egg though mostly I skipped that phase. Anyway, waffles are great with syrup, chocolate, fruits, and ice cream but have you ever tried savory waffle? With bacon, smoked chicken, sausage, cheese, or pepperoni. Freshly made waffles are best, when making waffles make sure that you have all the toppings ready on the table.  Ingredients : 1.5 cup all purpose flour 1 cup tapioca flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup plain yogurt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 cup milk 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup pepperoni, sliced 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup red cheddar cheese, grated salt to taste few tbsp of water, if needed Directions : For the dry mixture, add flour, tapioca, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl, mix well. In another bowl combine egg, yogurt, melted butter, oil, and milk. Co

Nomz Kitchen & Pastry Grand Indonesia: New Menu

Image
Ones behind Nomz, Arnold Poernomo and Pastry Chef Kim Pangestu. Famous for their sweet treats, but how's the food? At this time, I'd like to introduce some of their new menu. First let's start with something fresh, salad. I've been a fan of Nomz's Tomato Salad for quite a while, now they have two more, Middle Eastern Salad (IDR 80.000) and Fried Calamari Salad (IDR 60.000). Not for everyone, but me as one who really into greens. Calamari salad might suit to people in common, dressed with balsamic lemon, topped with fresh arugula, coriander, and shaved parmesan. My guessing it's balsamic reduction as it's sweeter than balsamic vinegar. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern Salad is actually tabbouleh, usually made using bulgur but they replaced it with quinoa , yes for superfood! Pretty healthy yet fulfill the hunger longer. Have no idea what's quinoa ? Google it, it's 2015, eat your superfood!  Move on to  Nomz Prawn Roll (IDR 105.000) garlic chili prawn, gr
