I used to work at a boutique hotel bar that prided itself on being “unpretentious” even though they sold $18 charcoal infused cocktails. When I pointed out to my manager that charcoal messed with a bunch of medications (and that daiquiri was misspelled on our menu) and was basically told to shut up, I knew it was time to quit.

The pigment in red dragonfruit overpowers literally any other colors you throw into a smoothie. Also, unlike beet juice, it has the benefit of not staining everything afterwards.

The small things like this are why you're amongst the best, imo

In undergrad my go-to smoothie at the dining hall smoothie place was mango, pineapple and kale for produce, and it was a nice pretty bright green colour. Greens in smoothie only become gross colours when you include other strongly coloured fruits. 😊

The video title: “Can a Smoothie Be Healthy AND Pretty?”
The man in the thumbnail: smooth, healthy, and pretty.

I learned from fantano’s smoothie videos that red cabbage is chock full of vitamins and minerals and turns smoothies a nice pink

My trick is that whenever I am at a low point of my week and I have a existential "event" I consume every vitamin and fiber rich vegetable in my immediate vicinity.

No smoothie, nothing pretty, just a complete lizard brain fueled augmentation of entropy.

I think a good black colored substitute for smoothies would be black cocoa powder. Like make a chocolate smoothie and add black cocoa to make it much darker

It never occurred to me to decorate my smoothies as ostentatiously as I decorate coffee or cocktails but it really is same shit different toilet… Excellent video as usual Shaq, you’ve spared my nutribullet another sad year collecting dust in the back of my closet

I've been putting cauliflower and peeled cucumbers in my smoothies for a while for the aesthetic but to be honest they're a good addition to dilute the whole sugar bomb that smoothies actually are 😄

i have no qualms about drinking colorful, “sugary” smoothies because i almost never have desserts in my apartment and smoothies are basically the only way i can get fruits into my diet (whereas I have no problems working veggies in regularly). I make a smoothie with strawberries, blueberries, and a banana and add the silk almond & cashew milk with pea protein, chocolate pb2, lemon juice, hemp hearts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds. It’s delicious, has a decent amount of protein and fat, and fills in gaps in my diet. Everything in moderation :)

THANK YOU for that warning on activated charcoal! I always see people talk about how pretty is makes food but no one ever talks about how it affects medication. Would hate for a day of HRT to go to waste just cause i wanted the cool grey ice cream with the black ice cream cone 🥴

I saw the title and thought well that’s cool he’s gonna show off some nice looking smoothies but I didn’t expect them to look THAT fantastic!

Your videos are incredibly well written
Edit: It's actually insane, you make so many seamless references to popular internet communities without breaking the flow of the sentence, people who get it will be more engaged and the people who don't won't even notice because of how smooth it is.

I just started an internship with my uni's athletics dept, and will be teaching the athletes how to make smoothies, definitely going to incorporate some of these tips!

A little bit of frozen mango has a *huge* impact on making your smoothie a nice smooth texture. I use frozen berries often as my base and it's a game changer.

No name is the best I'm finding right now out west.

When he said “it’s time to become the Smoothie King” I teared up

I was having a panic attack earlier but Shaq and his moustache fixed it.
