BlendJet 2 Smoothie
I love a refreshing vegan smoothie for breakfast or for a snack! I have never been a huge fan of green smoothies or vegetable smoothies. However, I really enjoy a classic fruity smoothie to quench my thirst or wake me up in the mornings! This recipe is one of my favorite flavor combinations: Pineapple, Blueberry, Dragonfruit, and almond milk. I always add some chia for omega-3’s as well! You can add some nut butter or vanilla protein powder for more protein but I like this one as is :).

I have fallen in love with the BlendJet2 blender during my time in South Korea. It is super powerful, is easy to use, and is very easy to clean (compared to a food processor or different blender). It blends through ice, almonds, frozen fruit, and more! Which is great for people that would want to add some nuts to a smoothie! It has been great for travel since it is small in size and has dual voltage charging. To use it, you just throw everything in starting with the liquids and ending with the ice, press blend, and then devour! The BlendJet is easy to clean because it cleans itself! Just add a little soap and water, press blend, and then rinse a couple times with water! That’s it! I love it.
As for the vegan smoothie itself, it is composed of some of my favorite fruity flavors! Various fruits are not as easy to come by and may not be as cheap in South Korea as they are in the US but I have still enjoyed some great flavor combos! Pineapple seems to be everywhere and it is great for your digestive track so I have been using that a lot. You can also find blueberries and strawberries most places so I usually rotate those two fruits each week to have some variety. The main point is you really still have all you need plus some to make delicious smoothies in Korea even though the variety isn’t as large as in the US.
