Avocado Orange Lemon Smoothie



Avocado is a well-known fruit. Protein, fat, vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients abound in avocados. It is a fruit with high nutritional content, but unlike other fruits, it does not have an overtly sour, sweet, or astringent flavour.

Avocados are high in fibre and unsaturated fatty acids. Dietary fibre absorbs a lot of water in the stomach after eating, causing it to expand, increasing people's fullness, reducing their consumption of additional foods, and penetrating gastrointestinal motility.

For some people, eating avocado for the first time is tough. Avocados can, in fact, be juiced. Therefore, what juice is best for avocado? Is it possible to juice avocado with oranges and lemons? Yes. Oranges have a higher concentration of vitamins than apples and pears. They are also cellulose-rich. The combination of avocado and orange juice is sweet and sour, and it aids digestion.

Is it necessary to dilute avocado juice or a smoothie with water?

There are general instructions on the juicer, depending on the situation, on which way is the best for that machine. It is up to the individual's preference. No need to add water if the fruit already has a lot of juice. Avocados contain a lot of fibre, so even if you do not add any liquid, they will transform into a thick paste. The consistency thickens as you add more of the ingredients. Water can be skipped when making a smoothie using avocados, oranges, and lemons.

Why add lemon juice to avocado?

A small amount of lemon juice squeezed over avocado helps to balance its richness and also effective approach to stop oxidation which eventually slows the browning process, and leaves a sour note that enhances the flavor.





INGREDIENTS

1 medium-size avocado     

1 cup orange juice

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice. 

1 pinch salt

 

METHODS

1. Peel and pit the avocado and cut it into chunks.

2.In a blender, combine all the ingredients and puree until smooth. You can add a little honey if you want it sweeter. Add more orange juice and/or ice to adjust the consistency if desired. 

3. Pour into two big glasses and serve.

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉）

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉） – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

  A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavour of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial.   You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness.  Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried.  For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can w...

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...
