Starfruit oranges smoothie


This starfruit juice has been a childhood obsession of mine. The first variety of fruit that my father began to plant was starfruit. Another name for starfruit is carambola. The fruit of the leafy starfruit trees was abundant during the fruiting season. Each starfruit is covered in a paper bag to prevent bug bites, but the powerful aroma still permeates the fruit despite the bag. When the paper bag was removed, the yellow and green starfruits that hung thickly from the branches were visible. The star fruit is highly juicy and tasty.

My mum used to tell me that starfruit helps lower cholesterol. At that young age, I was not very great at being health mindful. She will always make starfruit juice for me during the fruiting season as I felt it was a fantastic beverage. She was extracting juice from the starfruit using a vintage juice extractor with the NATIONAL brand but discards the indigestible fiber.

A starfruit beverage is incredibly acidic and sweet. A sweet and sour exotic fruit with incredible health advantages is also one of the best tropical fruits. Most of you likely have not drank this juice before. But trust me, this is a wonderful, soothing beverage that leaves your mouth tasting astonishing.

Sucrose, fructose, and glucose are abundant in starfruit. Out of all fruits, sugar is the most abundant substance. Consuming starfruit may aid in digestion. Starfruit's potent antioxidant capabilities are helpful in reducing inflammation, cholesterol levels, and the risks of fatty liver. The starfruit is good for making juice since it has high water content. The juice will even be nutritious and delicious when combined with other fruits. So, I am going to share with you how to make a starfruit and orange smoothie today.

Why do I refer to it as a smoothie rather than a juice?

I am blending the fruit in a powerful blender. I am consuming the complete fruit mixture, including the fibre, in my drink. However, if you use a juicer, it will filter out most of the fibre from the fruits you are juicing, leaving you with the liquid juice and the fibrous pulp, which is then thrown away.

Can I have this smoothie for breakfast?

Starfruit and oranges can be eaten together because there will not be any negative effects or nutritional loss when they are consumed together. Additionally, starfruit and oranges are nutrient-dense and can help the body get additional nutrients.

HOWEVER, starfruit is a rich source of acidic compounds, and oranges have a high concentration of organic acids. As a result, it is not advisable to consume this starfruit orange smoothie before a meal.

 

INGREDIENTS (for 2 big glasses)

4 pcs starfruits

5 oranges

 

 

METHOD

1. Clean the starfruit, remove the hard corners, and cut it into small pieces; after peeling the orange, cut it into small pieces.

2. In a blender, put the two together in a blender to puree until smooth.  

3. Pour into two big glasses and serve.

 

This smoothie with starfruit and oranges is wholesome, tasty, and refreshing. I am hoping you will try it.

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...
