Hey Steemians!! It's Wednesday! How about a little boost to get over the hump?! A power packed smoothie should do it, don' you think?

It's been a while since I posted a smoothie recipe / photo shoot which is kinda of funny because I make smoothies at least 5 times a week. And I think I can safely say that there are never two alike. They always consist of whatever fruits and berries I happen to have at my disposal that day.

All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G, ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL!

I've been wanting to make this smoothie for months, every since I saw someone put wasabi in a smoothie on a buzzfeed video (I'd source it, but I couldn't find it again, sorry). Well, the idea got stuck in my head and of course, like everything else I do, I put my spin to it.

To be honest, a smoothie recipe is kinda, shall I say overly simple. Bascially, you take a blender and throw a bunch of food in it, and shaZAAM, boom, smoothie. Well, not quite so easy, but you get my point.

The crew over at Hive account@gardenofeden like to use the term 'food formula' for recipe and I think that's awesome. So, with this formula,... it's a really interesting flavor extravaganza! The little kick of wasabi helps bring out the flavors in the fruit, it's amazing. Hive account@papa-pepper would probably take this and add some chili and produce a whole different look but with similar effect. I have never been a fan of overly spicy food, but this recipe has just the right balance, in my opinion.

I started out with an exact measured amount of honey and wasabi, then I added more to taste because the end result will depend on how ripe your fruit is, and how fresh your wasabi is. I also use honey but if you are a vegan than you can use agave or another sweetener that you like. GIVE IT A TRY, YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!!
