A recent smoothie session at Cromwell gave our team the chance to get creative with ingredients, experiment with different combinations and resulted in 4 delicious smoothie recipes your catering customers should serve.
The 4 Smoothie Offerings:
With plenty of fruit, a range of ideas and lots of different taste buds to tickle, we decided to create 4 delicious smoothies from our surplus fruit! We also ranked them, rating the popularity amongst staff. Here are a few ideas that your catering customers should serve if they are not already.
1st Place – Matcha, Coconut & Pineapple – The standout favourite from our team, a new take on a non-alcoholic pina-colada – but with the trending Matcha as an added ingredient! The smoothie was a huge hit, and so simple to make, just 3 ingredients… Matcha, Coconut Milk and Pineapple. Simple, easy, and so delicious!
2nd Place – Strawberry & Banana – A classic, one that almost everyone enjoys, light and refreshing. Step aside Banana Bread; this smoothie included banana (ripe work great too), strawberries and a splash of orange juice
3rd Place – Very Berry – Berries are a huge hit in our office, they are always the first item to be eaten from our fruit bowl, so of course we had to make a mixed berries smoothie! This contains Raspberries, Blueberries, Strawberries and just a dash of OJ! We are certain your catering customer will be serving this time and time again.
4th Place – Tropical Twist – With the UK going through yet another heatwave, we thought of bringing the flavours of the Caribbean to Cromwell – with Pineapple, Mango, Papaya and Oranges. It is a super refreshing smoothie that any citrus lover would enjoy!
The proof is in the Smoothie
This team-building activity was the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness and resourcefulness of using Glovelee® compostable catering gloves to prepare and handle food. The gloves prvoided a secondary barrier against potential pathogens and cross-contamination, they were also disposed of in the wood waste caddy too.
The result was an enjoyable team session, plenty of smoothies and a useful reminder that even relatively simple food preparation benefits from having the right equipment close at hand.
