How To Make Star Apple Smoothie

Star apple or Caimito  as we called it in the Philippines, is a healthy and delicious tropical fruit. Living here in  my home country for a few months, makes me enjoy different kinds of healthy fruits.

Caimito / Star apple is in season now and the price for a kilo is from 20 to 60 Pesos depending on how plenty is sold in the market. Yesterday, I  was able to buy  Caimito for only 20 Pesos a kilo in the farmers market. Farmers market is only during Sundays. It was already late in the morning and the seller was about to go home for lunch. Lucky me! I bought 2 kilos then and some I have eaten just how it was and some were made into smoothies.

                                                         Star apple / Caimito

INGREDIENTS : for 2-3 small glasses

4 Star apples / Caimitos
1 cup fresh milk
1/4 to 1/2 condensed milk

The inside fruit of the Star apple/ Caimito .

 
What you need :

• Sharp knife
• Chopping board 
• Smoothie maker or blender
• Tablespoon for scooping the fruit

Let's  make the smoothie!

1. Wash the star apples. Then cut them through.
2. Scoop the fruits with the tablespoon and put them in a mixing bowl.
3. Get rid of the black and not edible seeds.
4. Put the juicy star apples in the smoothie maker or blender.
5. Add the fresh milk and the condensed  milk.
6. Blend the mixture and drink cold.

Tip:

If you add more milk in it and ice cubes, you will be having a very delicious milk shake. As I said, serve it cold.

How To Make Rambutan Watermelon Smoothie

Living in the Philippines for a few months time give me the opportunity  to eat a lot of tropical fruits and vegetables. Fruits like mango, pineapple, avocado, papaya, guava, pomelo and carambola or star fruit.

While I am here, I am enjoying the abundance of tropical fruits in season which I hardly buy when I am in Germany because it is so expensive for my wallet. So I just wait when I am back again in my home in the Philippines.

Las Sunday I went to the open air market and my eyes were blinded with lots of delicious fruits. I had to choose which one or else I would buy plenty of fruits which I could not actually consume. I only bought watermelon, rambutan and marang. Marang was not yet ripe enough to be eaten so I just used the watermelon and the rambutan for making smoothie. The weather was so hot and humid so I thought of making something to drink. I made this delicious and refreshing rambutan and watermelon smoothie.

You need 2 slices of this watermelon.

Ingredients for 3 to  4 glasses:

30 pieces of Rambutan
2 slices of watermelon
6 pieces of calamansi juice or 1 lemon juice
some ice cubes (optional)

Peeled rambutan. 

PROCEDURE:

1. Press the rambutan  open and get the white meat out from the skin.
2. Get off the seed of the rambutan from the white meat and cut the meat into small pieces. Repeat it again until you have all the rambutan meat you need.
3. Slice the watermelon meat  into cubes.
4. Put the rambutan, watermelon and calamansi  juice in the blender or smoothie maker. Blend!
5. Serve in a long glass or any kind of glasses you want with some ice cubes.
6. Enjoy your smoothie.
