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.

Salted Egg Yolks Fried Wings

  There are some leftover salted egg yolks after the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk fried wings straight pop into my mind. Egg yolk chicken wings are really flavoring explosions, highly praised for its unique flavor, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tempting with their salty and fragrant taste. Other than the flavor that driving everyone’s insane. The key to this dish is to double fry the chicken wings until they are golden and crispy before coating them with a rich sauce of salted egg yolk and season them to make every bite full of rich taste and irresistible flavor. Since the fried chicken is mixed with salted egg yolks and melted butter, I must admit that this is a really greasy dish.   Eat this sparingly, then. I cut and divide my wings into mid wings and drummets. And I am going to give a shallow cut on them for better penetration during the marinating. Just oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper make up the basic marinade for the chicke...

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms （虫草花香菇蒸鸡）

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
