Hey lovely! today I'm going to do something
a little bit different if you have seen
my previous videos you may know that I
love to use food processors, blenders
stick blenders any kitchen tool or
gadget that helps me creating better
recipes and better textures so I'm
pretty excited that I get to test a new
power blender today it's from optimum I
have done another optimum review before
for the g2.1 vortex blender
which I still have and use and love a lot
this is a another one within a more
affordable range
it's the Froothie Optimum 9200A
second-generation high-speed vortex
blender it's still in the box. I just
got it in the mail I'm going to unbox it
with you try it out make some recipes
and see what I can do with it and how it works
so here I have a healthy eating
recipe book...users manual and then
here is the jug
and a tamper and then on this side we
have the silicone lid and here's the
beast. Here's where the power
motor is.
On the box it says it has to
have a nut milk bag I can't find it but
I already have one so that's no problem
I'm going to give this a quick rinse and
then I think I'll start with making
celery juice yes
I'm also on board of the celery juice
train as every health freak on the
internet and I want to show you that it
is possible to make juice with a blender
as long as you have a nut milk bag
whenever you blend anything in a power
blender I really advise you to start
with your liquids first so here I have a
cup of water and then I'm adding a whole
head of washed and chopped celery
lid on I'm going to blend this up if
you are using power blenders to make
your juices I would recommend to use a
lower setting because the blades are
going so fast that you get a lot of air
and oxygen in your juice which creates
oxidation which leads to vitamins
getting lost actually so if you want to
preserve all your vitamins use a lower
setting so you don't get all that
oxidation and you get the most out of
your juice
grab a container and nut milk bag and
then the celery juice is going in here
and now I'm just gently going to squeeze
out as much juice as possible
I really love the taste of celery juice
which is weird because it's quite salty
but something really refreshing about it
while I'm sharing this juice with my
handsome cameraman I'm going to save the
Pope because I'm thinking of using this
for a recipe later
for my next recipe I'm going to give
this blender a huge challenge I'm going
to make my medicinal smoothie which I
make every morning with the G 2.1
blender and it blends it perfectly so
I'm really curious to see how this one
performs it's a smoothie Bowl I put
loads of seeds in there and I also add
hard to digest vegetables like kale and
also I add frozen fruit so it's a huge
huge challenge I'm going to start with
from plants milk about the cup then I'm
adding some fresh turmeric to support
the absorption of turmeric I'm adding
some black peppercorns
then to support
my liver I'm adding a teaspoon of milk
thistle seeds, whole
then for some
selenium I'm throwing in
four Brazil nuts then for zinc I am
adding about the tablespoon of pumpkin seeds
for some healthy fats and fiber
I'm going to add flax seeds also a tablespoon.
For more healthy
fats and vitamin E some sunflower seeds
next I'm adding some adaptogens a tea
spoon of ashwagandha powder this helps
regulate the stress levels then also a
little bit less than a teaspoon of
astragalus which has a really strong
taste so I don't want to ruin my
smoothie then I'm adding some Ceylon
cinnamon a heaping teaspoon
this helps regulating the blood sugar
and then about a teaspoon a little bit
less of amla powder this is Indian
gooseberry which has lots of vitamin C
and also promotes healthy hair growth
then for flavor I love to add some lemon
peel you can add lemon zest then a bunch
of kale on top I'm throwing some
pomegranate seeds for our vitamin C and
also I'm going to chop up and throw in
this Kiwi with skin on because lots of
nutrients are also in the skin then put
sweetness and some potassium I'm adding
frozen banana also for great amount of
antioxidants I'm adding frozen black
currants for more potassium and more
healthy fats I'm adding one small
avocado
okay this looks pretty smooth to me
let's make the bowl and do a taste test
what I love about these types of
smoothie bowls is that you can just
literally stuff them with as many
nutrients as possible
the crunch is obviously from the cacao
nibs the smoothie itself is really nice
and smooth and creamy just as I want it
to be the last thing I'm going to make
with the blender is a green coconut soup
it's a really simple recipe I'm also
going to use this celery pulp from the
juice before in the soup so we're not
wasting anything it's a really quick
recipe I have some green stuff here get
over to the stove heat medium-high some
olive oil here I have onions garlic and
ginger going in then I'm adding the
celery pulp
a little bit of Celtic sea salt to help
the veggies soften up then one small
chopped up zucchini a little more olive
oil
a cup of water
bring it up to a simmer and then I'm
adding a bunch of green leaves I have
some kale some broccoli rabe
lid on and let the kills soften up
beautiful heat off this was just a
really short steaming of the kale
because I want to keep it as fresh as
possible now I'm going to transfer this
into the blender carefully scoop this in
okay so to that I am adding two chopped
up lemongrass stalks and I'm also adding
a few lemon peels just be careful only
use the yellow parts otherwise it will
be bitter and then I'm adding some
coconut milk this is a 250 mils a tiny
squeeze of lemon juice not too much
lemon juice does turn your green
vegetables brown so only do that last
minute before you're going to serve
we're going to blend this up
final taste test
that's lovely
oh I'll put a little bit too much ginger
but that's ok. What do we think about
the blender? I must say that I'm a little
bit spoiled because I already have a
great blender I own the optimum G 2.1
which is divine and and it works
perfectly and it is really sturdy and
powerful and heavy and it's beautifully
designed if I have to compare the two
blenders in terms of performance and
just the final result I don't see that
much of a difference there I really like
the way this one performs my smoothie
was really nice and creamy and smooth
and I didn't find any grid or bits of
seats in there and I think the soup is
really nice and smooth as well so I
think this is a really nice blender I
believe these are on sale right now I
will put the link below to the website
they have a promotion going on this is
just the first day that I'm using this
one I just unboxed it and made three
three recipes so I will continue using
it and if I come across anything worth
sharing with you I will absolutely share
it with you but so far so good I'm
really liking this blender I will keep
on using it and I hope you enjoyed this
video and I hope you will subscribe to
my channel and I hope you will like it
if you did like it and I hope you will
be there in my next video
