Coconut Melon Juice

Melon + coconut juice is delight.

I recently bought a 9-pack box of young coconuts at 99 Ranch for $10 dollars. Such a great deal! So after I sipped all the yummy coconut water, I didn't want to waste the coconut flesh inside. I decided to incorporate the coconut flesh into the melon juice, and it is such a great treat right after a run in the summer heat.

Makes 2 servings

Ingredients:

2 (1-inch) slices of honeydew melon

1 young coconut meat

How to Make: 

1. Scoop out all the coconut meat from 1 young coconut.

2. Blend the coconut meat first.

3. Then, add the honeydew melon, blending on high variable setting.

Enjoy!

Mango Pudding with Real Mango [真正的芒果布丁]

My first cooking video ever! (I apologize for the camera shaking... I recorded the video while making the pudding :) Anyways, I love the authentic taste of this pudding, and it's really easy to make- it takes only 3 MINUTES (just kidding, the video itself is ;). One time I made mango pudding with mango jelly-- it came in an instant packet-- and it tasted too sugary for my liking. Another time I tried substituting Kern's Mango Nectar for the purée, and it also tasted overly sweet and artificial. Then I made the pudding with mangoes I bought from 99 Ranch Market, which were super cheap this year- about $6.99 for 8 mangoes. So finally I learned my lesson... just get a real mango!
