Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Slice the Cape Gooseberries
    A hand using a small white knife to slice open a yellow cape gooseberry on a maroon cutting board.

    Take a yellow cape gooseberry and use a small kitchen knife to carefully slice it open. This prepares the fruit to hold the savory and spicy seasoning.

    Tip: Hold the husk gently to keep the small fruit steady while slicing.
  2. 2Add Chili Sauce
    A small spoon adding a dollop of red chili sauce into the hollow center of a sliced cape gooseberry.

    Take a small spoon filled with chili sauce and add a dollop directly into the center of the sliced cape gooseberry.

    Tip: Use a thick chili sauce so it stays neatly inside the halved fruit without spilling.
  3. 3Assemble Smoothie Ingredients
    Several yellow cape gooseberries scattered at the bottom of a clear plastic blender container.

    Place the whole cape gooseberries into the bottom of a blender container, then add the half banana and frozen mixed berries.

    Tip: Ensure the blender blades are clean and securely attached before adding fruits.
  4. 4Pour Milk into Blender

    Tip: Pour enough milk to submerge the fruits partially for an even blend.
  5. 5Add Garlic

    Tip: A single raw clove is enough to add a pungent kick without overpowering the fruit smoothie.
  6. 6Blend until Smooth
    A blender actively processing mixed berries, fruits, and milk into a smooth purple shake.

    Secure the lid onto the blender and process all the ingredients together until they turn into a smooth, purple-hued shake.

    Tip: Blend on high speed to ensure the frozen berries and raw garlic are completely pureed.
  7. 7Pour the Smoothie Into a Glass
