Fruits Yogurt Smoothies

Hi all~ Nice day!
I have recently bought the "Shake N' Take" Blender and decided to made myself some smoothies~
As this month is a diet month for me because there will be a vacation in Perhentian island after this month! Must keep fit to hide my little tummy already #^_^# .
So I plan to take ONLY this low fats yogurt smoothies for my breakfast every morning :)

Here's the ingredient I have prepare for my first 2 weeks breakfast:
Nestle natural yogurt

Strawberry 1 box

Blueberry 1 box, Banana x3, Kiwi x4

Baby carrot 1 packet

Shake 'N' Take Portable Blender x1

 For your information I bought this blender for RM50 at qoo10 .
And 1 more Sunkist orange juice I forgot to take photo :P

I try with each and every fruits every morning :)

Strawberry Yogurt

  • Strawberry x4
  • Yogurt (depends how much you want to drink, here I put around 300ml)
  • Taste : Awesome!

Banana

  • Banana x2
  • Yogurt (this I put too little, and the mixture become too sticky, can try to put more yogurt)
  • Taste : very banana :D If you like banana then u like this!

 

Carrot

  • Baby carrot x14
  • Water 50ml
  • Yogurt 250ml
  • Note: blend carrot with water first, then only add in yogurt to blend.
  • Taste : taste is OK, but need to shift the mixture after blend cause the remaining of carrot make the mixture very rough.

Enjoying the yogurt smoothie on a weekend morning accompany with a magazine is just too great! ^^

 

Orange Juice

  • Orange juice,not sure how much orange needed. I just use sunkist orange juice :D lazy me...
  • Yogurt, same amount with your orange juice.
  • Taste : very good! Just exactly like the yogurt drink I bought from hypermart~

 

Kiwi

  • Kiwi x1
  • Yogurt 300ml
  • Taste : too sour for me, maybe because of the kiwi too sour. And bitter also cause crashing the kiwi seeds

 

Blueberry

  • Blueberry x25
  • Yogurt 300ml
  • Taste : nice! But has lots of blueberry skin inside.

 

Mixed Berry (Strawberry and Blueberry)

  • Strawberry x3
  • Blueberry x20
  • Sugar 1tsp (melt with little bit of water first)
  • Yogurt 300ml
  • Taste : Perfect match ! Can don't add the sugar water, I add this because the 2 berry I bought is too sour :(

Mixed Fruits (Banana, Kiwi, Blueberry)

  • Kiwi x1
  • Banana x1
  • Blueberry x10
  • Yogurt 300ml
  • Taste : Taste like a sour banana :( Don't really like this. The blueberry is like missing in the mixture.. Can't taste that at all.



Yummmm.... Every morning have a cup of fruits yogurt... Healthy but no fats~ some more it can be done in 5minutes.. Super Easy! For now I like the most is the strawberry and orange flavor.. Next time maybe can try with watermelon, honey dew and mango~! Happy healthy diet life ~ :)

How to Make Takoyaki

This is the recipe~ simple right :)
Some tutorial says that, if you can't find takoyaki flour, normal flour will do. I haven't try before, but I believe the taste would be different. So I decided to get the takoyaki flour. I simply bought it from Daiso (the Japan RM5 shop).
For the cabbage, I pluck out 5 slices and chop it until small small size..(like a red bean size)
Then the flavor... depends what you like to eat~ and you can just put it in. But remember to cut it small pieces, else the flour cannot hold it.
The takoyaki stick and oil brush I also buy it from Daiso, if you don't want to buy, you can use satay stick instead. And the oil brush you can replace with a paper tower or cloth or whatsoever can damp with oil and wipe all the holes. :)
This is the takoyaki pan I use. Bought from ebay around RM80 and its electronic :) Portable, but the heat was just a bit slow compared to gas. Good for beginner like me! (no need to care bout the fire level..hahaha)
These are the toppings.. The takoyaki sauce you can get it from Daiso as well (cheaper!) or hypermarket like Jusco. I saw it selling there too.. but more expensive.
The Japanese mayonnaise (sorry wrong spelling on the picture) also get from Jusco. Around RM6 for the smallest bottle. Why must "Japanese" mayonnaise? Hmm.. not a must... But it taste better and with the squeezable bottle, you can decorate your takoyaki nicer :) 
Bonito flakes, is some kind of dry fish flakes. Don't know what fish is that.. Jusco sells for RM8 for a big packet. But I still get it from Daiso haha.
Seaweed flakes, from Daiso too. But I think you can get it from anywhere.. if don't have flakes then just buy seaweed and flakes it yourself  :D
Here is all the ingredients! All get prepared and now we're ready to start!
First thing is to make the mixture:
1. Simply beat the 2 eggs to mix the yolks and egg whites
2. Pour in takoyaki flour and simply mixed up with the eggs
3. Add in some water(around 1 small cup) to mixed with the flour. Remember not too much water. If too dry then add in some more. Mixed until smooth only add in the rest of the water. Mixed in water slowly like this will helps you to avoid lumps of the flour.
After that put into a jar like this so you could pour out easily. This is optional.. you can just spoon out from the mixed bowl.

Next we're going to cook! Sorry forgot to take pics at starting >_<
1. Ok, now turn on your pan to let it hot. And then wipe the entire pan with oil. The inside and outside or the holes and every holes even you just wan to cook 4 or 8 at a time.
2. Next, pour your mixture into the holes until full. You can try 4 at a time for your first time. So fill 4 holes full with the mixture.
3. Put in tako/prawn/sausages into each holes.
4. Spread cabbage evenly on the 4 holes. Spread a layer like half a cm on the pan. Not too much so the mixture can hold the cabbage. But not too little because the cabbage make it round. If too little then your takoyaki will not round enough.
5. Use your sticks to draw lines around the holes to separate the cabbage and cooked flour so that every takoyaki is not stick to each other.

6. Use 1 stick to stick into the takoyaki (stick in until you reach the bottom of the pan) and turn(try to turn fast).
7. Keep turning it using the stick so that the takoyaki will round and won't overcook at one side.
8. Cook until golden color and you can feel its a bit harden like a fish ball but not soft soft inside then you're ready to serve it on a plate. Use your stick to take it out from the pan.
9. Take out few takoyaki and put on a small plate, squeeze on takoyaki sause.
10. Then squeeze on the mayonnaise.
11. Spread the seaweed flakes and lastly the bonito flakes.

And your takoyaki is done~ :)


Awwww..... looks so Yummy!!!! Can't wait to eat anymore ~~~~ hope you guys enjoy eating!

Nomm....nomn,,,nomn.....  :P
