Cook and Brew.

We are recommended to have five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. And the best way to serve it is through smoothies. Smoothies are loaded with vitamins and minerals. Not only are they great tasting, they’re healthy drinks, too! They are great for breakfast or any time of the day.

Sharing a recipe which my grandmom taught me.

Ingredients:
1 pc small carrot
4 to 5 tbsp sugar or 1 tsp honey
1 tbsp raisin
1 can (240 m) Pure Pineapple Juice
12 pcs ice cubes

In a blender, blend carrot and raisins with the Pineappe Juice until crushed. If your blender doesn’t like carrots try chopping it up and adding it one piece at a time during the blending. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.

Makes 4 servings

This commercial has been a long time favorite of my baby since he was a few months younger. This is his first ever favorite commercial and this never cease to catch his attention whatever he’s doing. Well, as the message of this song conveys, I do hope that he’ll love to eat veggies more as he grows up.

Here’s the translation of the lyrics:
Title: Makulay ang Buhay (Life is Colorful).

Vegetables, you’ll search for them when not served
Sauteed vegetables made meaty by Mom
That’s why vegetables are my favorite

Life is colorful
Life is colorful with Meaty sauteed vegetable

By the aroma alone, you can already taste
With the taste, you’re a winner
Bitter gourd, stringbeans, sayote (chayote), squash
It’s happier if it’s sauteed with Meaty

Life is colorful
Life is colorful with Meaty sauteed vegetable

For every bite and chew there’s happiness
Full of nutrients, full of energy
It make us very very happy both in studying and playing
So come on kids and taste it

Life is colorful
Life is colorful with Meaty sauteed vegetable

Life is colorful
Life is colorful (it’s yummy) with Meaty sauteed vegetable

This process sets the color of vegetables, lets you easily peel fruits such as onions, tomatoes, plums, peaches and slip the skins off nuts such as almonds, and prepare vegetables for canning or preserving.. The food does not cook all the way through. It’s just partially cooked in boiling water for a minute or so, so crisp texture is preserved.
