- 2. Add ice ：Add about 300g of ice cubes。
- 3. High-speed blend ：Blend for 30–45 seconds until smooth, creamy, and free of ice chunks.
- 4. Adjust consistency ：Add water if too thick; add more ice if too thin.
Step 3｜Serve
- 1. Pour ：Transfer the mung bean smoothie into a serving cup (using a pre-chilled glass is recommended to maintain texture).
- 2. Optional toppings ：Add condensed milk, whipped cream, or toppings such as mung beans or red beans for more layers of flavor.
💡 Tips/Professional Advice
- Enhancing the Bean Flavor：Chill the mung bean paste for several hours beforehand to make the smoothie cooler and the bean flavor richer.
- Creating a Smoother Texture：It is recommended to use ice cubes made with a dedicated ice maker, as their higher hardness results in a smoother, less mushy smoothie.
- Adjusting Sweetness：Fructose can be adjusted according to customer preferences; for a more natural flavor, it can be partially replaced with granulated sugar or honey.
- Diverse Product Applications：Pair with condensed milk or whipped cream to enhance aroma and smoothness. Add toppings such as red beans and tapioca pearls to create even more creative drinks.
