This is my first time writing in this community, and I hope I’m welcome.
I’ve always heard of DIY and used to think to myself, “Why go through all the labour when you can just buy it and save yourself the stress?”
But deep down, I’ve always admired people who can do things themselves. The sweetest part is that they actually enjoy it, it’s like a hobby for them.
I never knew how joyful it feels to accomplish something you didn’t think you could do on your own. Today, I’m really happy and proud of myself for taking that first step after days of procrastination. This Saturday I did my first DIY and I'm happy I did.
I tried making a smoothie for the first time. I thought I would mess it up, but fortunately, I didn’t. It turned out to be so easy and surprisingly refreshing. Making things yourself can truly be worth it, I must confess.
Here’s what I used:
Dates
Tigernuts
Coconut
Banana
Steps:
I washed the dates, tigernuts, and coconut, then blended them in small batches (because there were so many) with a little water. After blending each batch, I sieved it.
I continued blending and sieving until everything was done.
The result was a milky, homogeneous mixture which can actually be taken as “kunu.” Kunu helps with weight gain and is also really sweet when refrigerated.
Next, I washed and peeled the bananas, blended them separately, and added the blended bananas to the kunu mixture (dates, tigernut, and coconut). I mixed everything well.
And just like that, my smoothie was ready to be served. Easy, right? I didn’t know it would be this simple until I tried it!
I put some in a flask and stored it in the fridge for my pregnant sister and her husband, took mine, and served everybody.
They loved it, as you can see 🙈
