Lab: Healthy Smoothie
Watch this video to get some smoothie ideas.
You will need to find a recipe for a healthy smoothie. It is important that you illustrate the ability to make a beverage that has no or is low in processed sugar. If you want to do one of the recipes from the video, make sure you provide measurement information for each ingredient you use in your smoothie.
Please download this document and fill it in as you do your lab.
LAB INFORMATION
1. For this lab, you choose your own recipe.
PHOTOS
2. For all labs, you need to take a minimum of 8 pictures of you preparing this product.
- You must be clearly visible, including your face, in at least 4 of the pictures. You can take selfies or have a friend or family member take photos of you in action.
- You must clearly show the steps you have taken to make the product. Take photos of yourself measuring the ingredients, dicing, sifting, cutting in, folding, rolling, whisking, flipping, etc.
- You must have photos of your final product. Take an image of it as a whole. Then have a final presentation image where you present your product so that it is ready to serve. An example would be the final product in the blender. Then find a nice glass to pour your smoothie into. You could add fruit, vegetables, or herbs to garnish the glass. You could add a straw--ideally, an environmentally friendly metal one. Having a decorative place setting or napkin is other idea.
EVALUATION
3. You must fill out an evaluation of your product. This includes an evaluation done by yourself and an adult. Be sure to use descriptive words and discuss the process, the product, expectations, previous experience and anything else you observed while making this product. Use your five senses in your descriptions. Be detailed and creative with your word choice. Ask the adult who is tasting your food to do the same in their evaluation.
