Hey everyone! Today we are making the
Pina banana smoothie and I'm pretty
excited about it.
My name is Jess and I am with GreenBlender. GreenBlender is a smoothie
delivery service and every week we send
you all the fruit vegetables and
superfoods you need to make awesome
green smoothies at home. And every
weekday we make one of those smoothies
with you. So, today we are making the Pina
Banana Smoothie and I'm pretty excited
because it's a bit of a healthy play on
the Pina Colada, one of my more favorite
summer drinks. And I wanted to talk a
little bit about coconut. So coconut is
native to Southeast Asia it's a member
of the drupe family: peaches and plums
and apricots. And a few interesting
things about the coconut tree is that
its trunk is very flexible and its roots
actually grow to the side and down and
these two ways that the tree growth
helps it withstand tropical storms
Since it's mostly in tropical regions, and
they get crazy storms and even tsunamis.
Coconut trees have been known to be able
to withstand tsunamis, which is pretty
incredible. And the way that the coconut
tree disperses, and what I mean by
disperses, is no usually bees will
pollinate the flowers and then go from
flower to flower and help disperse the
plant. The way that's a coconut tree does
it, is that the coconuts themselves are
really really buoyant. So they just fall
off the tree and if they're not picked
by people they sort of go down the beach
and they get picked up by the ocean and
then they just sort of float along until
they find another beach and wash up
there and creating the trees which is
pretty cool. I did not know that. There's
also a sort of old wives tale, if you
could call it that, sort of
unsubstantiated But there are lots of
reports that during World War II,
because there was not enough blood
plasma available, when
soldiers were injured in the hospital
they used coconut water as an IV drip.
I haven't been able to find if that was
for sure, but it's a pretty interesting
fact and it makes the health benefits of
coconut all the more real. So the health
benefits -the main health benefits of
coconut is the MCT, the medium-chain... I wrote it
down... the medium chain triglycerides! MCT, so
these are healthy fatty acids that turn
into energy quickly. So, your body is able
to use them quickly, they may keep you
fuller for longer, and there are even a
few small studies that say that they
help burn belly fat. Don't quote me on
that. There's not enough studies to say
yes for sure. But if you're looking for a
healthy oil to cook with, coconut oil is
great
-just use it your moderation. Coconut oil
is also or coconut itself is also
antibacterial, so it's a nice thing to
eat when you are not feeling your best.
So, when you are buying dried coconut, we
send coconut flakes, as you can see here.
You can also buy coconut cream or you
can even buy coconut meat. That's
fantastic in smoothies. When you are
buying dried coconut, make sure you find
an organic unsweetened type. They do make
sweetened coconut, but that is incredibly
full of a ton of sugar, and it's usually
for, you know, baking and cookies and
things like that. So -but we use an
organic unsweetened kind.
Its really really good; makes your smoothie
extra extra creamy. So, enough about
coconut,
even though I love it! Let me show you
what else is a massive smoothie. We're
going to use a banana. We're going to use
some pineapple. Here's your creamy
pina colada
base. I'm going to use some greens and
some lucuma powder, which is a great
natural sweetener. Lucuma is on the low
part of the glycemic index. Its not going to
boost your blood sugar, so yeah. Let's get
started! Alright, I'm going to add my water. Now, if your
blender has a hard time processing sort of
the fibrous ingredients you can soak the
coconut maybe for an hour or even
overnight and that'll make it a lot
easier to blend. It'll blend really
really quickly. And again, with these
greens, if you're little hesitant about
the intense green flavor, although this
will not be very intense, but if you're
just starting out on your smoothie
journey feel free to just take the leaves
right off the stem. That will make - A. it'll
be easier blending and B. you'll kind of
stop - or lessen the green taste that may
come with these greens. So, I'm going to
throw in the pineapple. Alright, throw in
this banana and, as you can see, this is a
pretty spotty banana, but that means
nothing except it will be super sweet, which
I am happy about. If your banana is less
spotty, that just means that it will be
less sweet, which is also good for trying
to watch your sugar intake. Alright, yeah
that - this is a pretty simple smoothie, which
is great if you don't have a lot of time
in the morning. Alright, so let's get this guy blending.
Fun fact, my dad did not think that he was a fruit and vegetable
person, but he's been getting these boxes
for a while. He loves them now. It was a
slow change, but now it's a permanent
change and that's the best kind of
change! Alright, let's take a sip of this. Mmm, it's really
really nice. It basically tastes like a
healthy pina colada, or the healthy
tropical drink. You can taste the greens,
but very very barely. Mostly what you
taste is the banana and pineapple. If you
wanted to put a little rum in here, I
won't say anything. I'm sure that would
make it extra delicious for an afternoon
or evening snack! This smoothie itself is
going to give you a lot of energy and
it's great for your skin. So, thank you so
much for watching and tuning in. We will
be back tomorrow with another awesome
smoothie. Until then, have a great day!
Cheers!
