Green Tea Smoothie With Mango and Pomegranate

[RestaurantEquipment]

Now THAT looks good. I've only experimented with tea smoothies, but so far I've found frozen mangoes with honey and mint tea is a real treat. I'll have to try this next!

[liptontea]

We love our smoothies with tea!

[kooktocook]

@liptontea They certainly can work together! Thank you for visiting and commenting. KtC

[kooktocook]

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

A shot of Rum would be good in that....oh yeah!

[kooktocook]

@JOHNINCOLUMBUS Rum would work well. Vodka too :) KtC

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

@kooktocook - Vodka would work too, I'll be right over...love your videos, you are a genius by making them in a minute...but I'll take longer to finish that smoothie....All the Best....John

[MrEZCooking]

Hi Kook! You know it is 109 degrees where I live today and this smoothie would just so hit the spot you have no idea! That would even make an XLNT adult beverage in a pitcher if you know what I mean?.....:)

[kooktocook]

@MrEZCooking Great idea! cheers mate, KtC

[TheVittleVlog]

SMOOOOOOOTHIE!! Looks good!

[kooktocook]

@TheVittleVlog A tasty cold beverage for a hot day. Yep! cheers Rick, KtC

[jun13371]

one question, the green tea is from china or other place?

[kooktocook]

@jun13371 The green tea leaf I used here is a product of China. Distributed from Hong Kong. cheers, KtC

[anmoose]

Ooooooooh! That looks divine, especially on a hot day in Florida. I'll be waiting out on the patio tomorrow. Can you drop one by around noonish?

[kooktocook]

@anmoose That would be nice indeed. Okay!

[Bralor89]

Well a tea-smoothi... after over 480 episodes still good for a surprise eh? ;)

[kooktocook]

@Bralor89 I still have a few up my sleeve :) cheers! KtC

[sneekygenie]

[kooktocook]

@sneekygenie Yes you are correct. I will now try to get my money back from the University I attended. cheers! KtC

[bowhunter2439]

Nice combo Kook , will have to give it a try , was that a mint leaf on top ..??

[kooktocook]

@bowhunter2439 Yes a bit of mint for garnish. cheers, KtC

[Xserozon]

How long do you normally blend your smoothies for? Mine seem to come out extremely thick and chunky. :/

[kooktocook]

@Xserozon Not too long. Depends on the blender I suppose. Probably about 30 seconds or so. If it is too thick you can always add a bot more a liquid ingredient. Even a bit more ice can work with this one. I would just a bit more juice though. cheers, KtC

[Fershizzal]

it never fails me to see your resourcefulness when you have all those ingredients around

[kooktocook]

@Fershizzal I try not to get stuck deciding what to cook up come the mealtime. Having some basic stuff around (seasoning, fruit, veggies) makes it easier to get the job done (even when little else is around). thank you! KtC

[westislandkev]

holy crap batman, i want some of ur smoothie juice.

[kooktocook]

@westislandkev :D Hey get your smoothie!

[agnesdeque]

You're my hero .I love mango ! As usual,great !

[kooktocook]

@agnesdeque I appreciate your thoughts. I'm a big fan of mango too. I try to enjoy them almost daily. Tasty and good for you! KtC

[mghs24]

you should open a restaurant

[kooktocook]

@mghs24 Perhaps someday I will :) cheers, KtC

[CookingwithKarma]

Hmmmmm looks tasty! :)

[kooktocook]

@CookingwithKarma thank you Karma, KtC

[TheStrokesChick]

Looks deeeeeeeelish!

[kooktocook]

@TheStrokesChick thank you! KtC

[Jewls4660]

That looks really good!! YUM!

[kooktocook]

@Jewls4660 thanks! KtC

[psychodelicdragon]

i know this is weird, what is the taste of the pomgranite similar too?

great looking drink!! as always!!

[kooktocook]

@psychodelicdragon Sweet yet a bit bitter or sour. This more the actual fruit (the seeds) as the juice is a tricky process with sometimes a few additions of other juices to the blend. Thus, best to look at the ingredients. I would recommend first attacking the fruit (the seeds) as it is common in most store now. The juice is there too in most markets but to get the good stuff it costs a bit more (quality). It is very common in Asian markets. Great anti-toxin, high in Vitamins. cheers, KtC

[Insignificantful]

Hey! We have the same blender!

[kooktocook]

@Insignificantful You didn't notice yours missing yet? lol

cheers! KtC

[jessicastarr9764]

Do you have any recipes for yellow squash, my garden is producing so fast and I'm tired of frying and grilling them. Thanks:)

[kooktocook]

@jessicastarr9764 Pickling them is good. My mum use to do that. Yes, I guess the summer ones are quite plenty. I have a slowcooker recipe I have used but it is similar to roasting them. I will see. cheers! KtC

[0184AC]

That looks delicious.

[italyboy2009]

@0184AC it is

[Texa41]

Looks very refreshing! Ok, Cuppy is a ladies man! Last time he was with a white cup, now a pink one! Will there be a Cuppy Jr soon? :)

Request: Can you make a Mocha Frappe?

[kooktocook]

@Texa41 mmm Mocha Frappe. Starbuck's has a good one. I will make note on your suggestion. Thanks Susan!

[KasCooks]

This one puts the smooth in smoothie! Cuppy couldn't reach the top of the blender, team effort giving him a lift.

[kooktocook]

@KasCooks He seems to be trying to help out more lately. Must be lonely in the cupboard day after day lol. cheers Kas! KtC

[ziakas420]

very nice and perfect for summer. I am going to add some vodka to mine. HaHa!!

[kooktocook]

@ziakas420 I suspect this recipe may take on a few variations this time of year :D cheers! KtC

[mmdghr]

omg you have gone retro lol im still moving in bro !!

[kooktocook]

@mmdghr Does it take you back to earlier vids? lol

[EckoOwnage]

Green tea and mango, eh i don't know i have to give it a try

[kooktocook]

@EckoOwnage I was a bit sceptic too. But then, I try everything (okay not everything. I don't like much food that is staring back at me). If it goes down not well then as someone mentioned below, vodka wouldn't hurt lol.

cheers mate! KtC

[HALLSYSKITCHEN]

looks good. nice for a hot day. thumbs up!!!

[kooktocook]

@HALLSYSKITCHEN cheers!

[secundadonna]

Aww, Mr. Cuppy looks so cute! KTC, that smoothie looks like it would annihilate the heat!

[kooktocook]

@secundadonna Cuppy seems to be grabbing the 'light' lately. I suppose he deserves a bit of attention for awhile ;) cheers! KtC

[jakluk4]

Pomegranate is one of my all time FAVS! love this :D

[kooktocook]

@jakluk4 Hi Jak. Charlie Sheen's 'Tiger Juice' I was told. lol I have to shop about for the good stuff as some are really watered down with Apple Juice or Cranberry. Yes, I first tried many years back in Asia on a trip. Happy the fruit and juice has become more popular as it is certainly refreshing and of course, really good for the body. Best to you, have a great day!

[dubguy123]

Roll on the summer ... shouldn't it be here already lol.

[kooktocook]

@dubguy123 UFO posted over there today. I gotta sub.

No summer there yet? A bit humid here today I suppose, more regular sun would be nice.

off to dig out my old UFO LP's.........grab a beer......crank it......

[RichyJam2011]

Another great vid.

Bet that tastes so refreshing

[kooktocook]

@RichyJam2011 Yes refreshing and different with the GT combo. A mellow but 'rich fruity' taste. Good thngs in there too for the body. cheers! KtC

[LucLeFou]

did you go to cooking school or something? if not your a fkn GENIUS

[kooktocook]

@LucLeFou I found variations of the recipe on the net. A friend passed the recipe on to me. Quite tasty!

thank you for your thoughts :)

[mallardhead]

cool!

[kooktocook]

@mallardhead cheers mate!

[Killzor97]

And then your pour half a bottle of vodka into the blender.

[kooktocook]

@Killzor97 lol um...yes, that will work too. CHEERS!

[JuliesCookingShow]

[bluelove33]

You are awesome! I've been looking for a smoothie using green tea, and this is perfect! I have everything in my fridge to make it right now! Thanks!

[kooktocook]

@bluelove33 Thank you. We enjoy the green tea and I was offered up this smoothie recently. I thought the pomegranate was interesting (I couldn't ID it at first taste in there but I guessed it eventually). I thought I would share it with folks. We enjoyed it. cheers, KtC
