Juice Ingredients
- 12 fresh strawberries
- 12 florets of fresh broccoli
- 400ml water
- 200ml plain yogurt
- 1 Tbsp salt (for blanching broccoli)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the broccoli. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Gently blanch the cleaned broccoli florets for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This quick blanching helps retain the broccoli’s nutrients, reduces any slight bitterness, and ensures a tender texture. After blanching, immediately rinse the broccoli under cold water and drain well.
Step 2
Next, we’ll get the strawberries ready. Wash 12 fresh strawberries thoroughly under running water, remove the green tops, and pat them dry. Strawberries are the key to the juice’s delightful sweetness and vibrant color, so using fresh ones is highly recommended.
Step 3
Now, let’s combine the ingredients in the blender. Add 6 of the prepared strawberries (you can save the other 6 for garnish or add them later if you like), the blanched and drained broccoli (aim for a similar quantity to the strawberries), 200ml of water (about 1 standard paper cup), and 200ml of plain yogurt for creaminess and a slight tang. Feel free to adjust the yogurt amount to your preference, or add a touch of honey or syrup if you desire more sweetness.
Step 4
Secure the lid on your blender. Blend everything together until smooth and well combined, which usually takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Listen for that satisfying whirring sound as your delicious juice comes together! If the consistency is too thin, add a bit more water or yogurt; if it’s too thick, add a splash more water until you reach your desired thickness.
Step 5
Voila! Your incredibly tasty, healthy, and skin-loving ‘Broccoli Strawberry Juice’ is ready. Pour it into a beautiful glass for a delightful home cafe experience.
Step 6
The true magic of this juice lies in its delightful balance of flavors and textures. The sweet and tangy notes of the strawberries burst with freshness, complemented by the unique, subtle texture of the broccoli bits that add a pleasant chewiness. The strawberry flavor is dominant, making it enjoyable even for those who might be hesitant about the taste of broccoli.
Step 7
In times like these, when spirits can feel a bit low due to challenges like the coronavirus, let this healthy juice be a source of revitalization for both your body and mind! We sincerely wish you a day filled with energy and positivity. Embrace healthy habits and energize your everyday life!
