Frozen Strawberries

Bought 2 large carton of fresh strawberries on thursday.
Yeah, kind greedy cos it was on promo!
I thought i wanted to make them into smoothie / ice pop.
But who knows my god-ma decided to pay me a visit.
So i cant take anything cold for the past few days.

Seeing that the beautiful strawberries are ripening
& turning soft fast in the fridge.
I decide to freeze them for later use.
Its really simple.
Just pluck off the green top, wash & dried.
Then place them in single row on baking tray, in to the freezer!

I have totally forgotten bout my strawberries in the freezer.
Only when we came back from the supermarket
with OVERFLOWING stash of food to be kept in our overstuffed fridge.
My brother ask "jiejie, ur strawberries still want or not?"
Then i magically remember that the berries are inside.

I took a peek at them, and thats when i truely understand,
Love at first sight!
The red berries look astoundingly pretty, with a coat of white ice, like snow.
How can anyone's mood not be lifted immediately upon seeing them!!
I was running like mad ard the hse, grabing my camera,
while screaming to chun & mum...
"Look, they're soooooooo pretty right"

Today while i'm resizing the photo for uploading,
i still smile to myself when i look at these photos..
They really are magical in lifting my mood!
Especially so on a moday, after a weekend of fun!

In the evening after our tepanyaki dinner.
I make another batch of smoothie with the array of
frozen fruits i have in my freezer after a week of loading.
Finally am i able to get the right consistency of a
smoothie that feels & tasted like my fav "Booster"... Yummy.

This is the first time im taking photo of somthing that melts sooooo fast.
Its so hard to take with the smoothie melting every second.
Every photo i took is like a pond,
more & more water in the next shot!! haha

Assorted fruit smoothie
1. 1 slice frozen watermelon
2. 1 frozen banana
3. 2 pc frozen strawberries
4. 1/4 cup ice
5. 1/4 cup mango juice
6. 2 tbsp yogurt
* yield enough for 2 glasses

Note to self:
1. Peel banana skin off next time before freezing, saves me the hassle of fiddling with the skin when its frozen hard!
2. Strawberries are powerful & strong tasting fruit, just a few pieces is enough for a loooong way. Dun be KS
