My son got himself a GoPro. I had never heard of a GoPro but I now know that it is this cool little video camera that has all kinds of features.
He said that I could use it to make a video in the kitchen. Awesome.
I have only done one other video before, that is about what I typically eat in a day. Check it out here. It was made not long after my head injury.
I decided to make a short video for you; showing you how I make a smoothie in the morning. Very, very simple.
I was rather nervous and so I am not my usual smiley self! With practice, I will get better. Watch it here.
The measurements for the ingredients are all listed below.
I forgot to mention that adding your favourite flavours is a great idea.
Here are some suggestions:
- vanilla
- maple syrup (just a little)
- cinnamon
- raw cacao powder
- freshly squeezed orange juice
- almond butter
- use hemp or flax seeds instead of chia
- coconut oil
