Unique “Kimchi Topped” Smoothie
[ManGaeEasyMeal] A “Kimchi Topped” Smoothie?! A Trendy Drink Recipe from Busan!
A smoothie topped with kimchi? It sounds shocking, but this trendy drink from Busan is surprisingly delicious! It’s actually a coconut mango smoothie with a visually deceiving topping. For the smoothie base, blend 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 cup of ice, and 1 tablespoon of condensed milk until smooth and thick. If you don’t have coconut milk, regular milk works just as well. Adjust the ice to achieve a firm consistency, perfect for holding toppings. The frozen mango is tossed with cherryade powder for a vibrant, fruity kick. Pour the smoothie into a glass, top generously with the mango mixture, and enjoy this unexpectedly delightful treat that you’ll finish in no time!
Smoothie Base- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- 20ml Condensed Milk (approx. 1.5 Tbsp)
- 2 cups Ice (approx. 400g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a blender, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, 20ml of condensed milk, and 2 cups of ice. If coconut milk is unavailable, feel free to substitute with 1 cup of regular milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. For best results, aim for a thick consistency that can hold toppings well; adjust the amount of ice accordingly, adding more if the smoothie is too thin.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, place 100g of frozen mango chunks. Sprinkle the entire packet of cherryade powder over the mango and toss gently until evenly coated. This step infuses the mango with a delightful tangy and sweet cherry flavor.
Step 3
Pour the blended smoothie into your serving glass. Spoon the prepared cherryade-coated mango chunks generously over the top of the smoothie. Despite its unusual appearance, this “kimchi topped” smoothie is a delightful blend of coconut and mango flavors that is surprisingly delicious and satisfying. Enjoy this visually striking and tasty beverage!
